Microsoft’s announcement they’d managed to get the Xbox One to run Xbox 360 code at E3 2015 scored them a lot of points, both from those present at the event and those watching at home. It’s an impressive achievement, considering how very different the Xbox 360’s architecture is compared to the Xbox One. Sony.

While these specs aren’t officially released by AMD, a new set of rumors have popped up concerning AMD’s Radeon Fury series and they look quite accurate given recent benchmarks which confirm that the Fury X will indeed feature a full 4096 shaders/ AMD have already called the Fury the “world’s fastest GPU” and given.

While the cards haven’t been officially released to the public, the Radeon R9 390x’s (assuming that’s what they end up being called) are in the hands of developers. Johan Anderrson, Dice’s Technical Director, has been playing around with AMD’s new flagship and calls them “seriously impressive”. That’s not all he did either – ‘leaking’.

A few days ago, we’d reported that you’ll be able to march into your local store (or, more realistically, point your web browser to your favorite online store) and purchase the R9 300 series by June 24th (or the 18th for Fiji), and while that hasn’t changed, AMD are planning to announce their cards.

There’s been no shortage of rumored release dates for AMD’s Radeon 300 series, but a new set of rumors (which look fairly solid) indicate the 300 series will indeed be launched in June. The ‘lower’ end parts of the Radeon R9 300 series will be launching on June 18, while the R9 390X Fiji.

With Windows 10’s release drawing ever closer, DirectX 12 news continues to pop up thick and fast. A few days ago, AMD revealed that the Asynchronous Shaders, (which is part of DirectX 12 specs) and the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Asynchronous  Compute Engine architecture powering Radeon graphics cards will drastically improve performance of DX12.

There are rumors floating about that AMD are planning to release an APU containing no fewer than 16 Zen CPU cores, 16 GB HBM and a built in Greenland GCN based GPU. This supposed leaked slide focuses on the highest end part, which is targeted to both servers and High Performance PC systems –.

For quite some time, GPU’s have done much more than simply push pixels around the screen. The fixed function pipelines of the late 90’s are long behind us, and GPU’s are now being used in a variety of non-graphics tasks, such as physics, collision detection or even AI. But there is still a long.

It’s fair to say that the ‘rumor’ period before a products launch is probably the most exciting; the speculation, the hype and looking for any shred of information you can lay your hands on. The latest entry into the Radeon series for AMD is no exception, and we’re all scrambling to get an idea.

Several months ago, Nvida’s Maxwell architecture was the subject of much speculation. The architecture had (and does continue to have) great potential, but the GTX 980 isn’t quite the performance monster we’d been hoping for. But many are sticking to what they’ve got, waiting to see what either AMD’s R9 390x offers or Nvidia’s.

Microsoft might well be working on a cost reduced Xbox One console, if recent rumors and evidence is accurate. This isn’t anything new in the console industry, where as technology evolves, the systems become cheaper to produce, and processors can be shrunk in size. Currently, the Xbox One’s APU is built using the tried.

It’s an understatement to say Ubisoft have been front and center when it comes to controversy of late, whether it be frame rate, resolution, graphical downgrades or perhaps the most dreaded term of all, visual parity. Recently, a viewer and reader contacted me on Facebook and pointed out a rather interesting technical document I’d.

AMD’s shiny new API is out in the wild, already developers such as DICE are embracing Mantle and users who’ve opted for certain AMD GPU’s are taking advantage of the performance gains. But let’s say you’re torn between buying an AMD Radeon GPU or one of Nvidia’s Geforce lines – should Mantle be a.

When the specifications to Microsoft’s Xbox One were first unveiled to the public, the console received a lot of criticism due to the perceived gap between it and its rival, Sony’s Playstation 4. It’s hard to argue the difference in specs hasn’t hurt the Xbox One’s sales figures, despite the rather nice bump the.
