HBM2E memory and ray tracing support?

AMD is preparing its next-generation RDNA 2 architecture for a multitude of new graphics cards, with the company using the new 7nm + node with the launch of new 2H 2020 cards.

We know we expect these cards to support ray tracing, as well as an industry source telling me that they will be much more sophisticated than the RDNA-based RX 5700 series.

With this initiative, AMD will be on a par with NVIDIA's current GeForce RTX series on the RTX 2080 SUPER and the flagship RTX 2080 Ti. NVIDIA's new generation Ampere GPUs expected in 2020? AMD will need RDNA 2 as something quite special, but it does not want to be a whole generation behind the flagship product of the new generation NVIDIA.

WCCFTech is questioning whether Radeon 2020 RDNA 2-based graphics will feature the new, much faster HBM2E memory standard.

HBM2E is offered in an 8-Hi stack configuration using 16 Gbit memories, giving a bandwidth of 3.2 Gbps. bandwidth.

If you choose a four-way stack, it opens the door to 64 GB of HBM2E with a memory bandwidth of up to 1.64 TB / s – we should expect it on a consumer card as the successor of the Radeon VII based on HBM2. could see a new beast emerge.

A new flagship high-end card with a bitrate of 16 to 32 GB HBM2 and a bitrate of up to 920 GB / s will destroy a Radeon VII, and even maintain (in terms of bandwidth of NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce flagship product.

Fast to take away:

• New Radeon map en route
• RDNA Architecture 2
• Successor of Navi 10 (probably Navi 20)
• Ray tracing support
• Not GDDR6, possibly HBM2E
• HBM2E = revised standard, 8-Hi battery
• The 8-Hi battery offers 920 GB / s up to a memory bandwidth of 1.64 TB / sec
• Memory bandwidth = GOOD
• Crazy high-end will be server / HPC
• But the new high-end Radeon could be a BEAST
• ETA = 2H 2020
