Accelerated Chiplet Advancements and Packaging Breakthroughs

AMD continues to pioneer chiplet production, investing heavily in new 3D chiplet packaging technology. This hybrid stacked chiplet architecture offers interconnect density 200 times greater than traditional 2D designs and 15 times denser than current 3D designs.

3D Chiplet Technology

Partnering with TSMC, a leading semiconductor manufacturer, AMD unveiled a new chiplet package featuring vertically stacked cache memory for its renowned AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series processors. This design significantly boosts chiplet performance across numerous applications. These next-generation chiplets are expected to launch later this year.

Expanding RDNA 2 Architecture into New Markets

AMD announced new applications for its RDNA 2 graphics architecture, partnering with Tesla in the electric vehicle market and Samsung in the mobile space. RDNA 2 processors will now power the infotainment systems in the new Tesla Model S and Model X, enabling AAA gaming experiences within the vehicles.

The collaboration with Samsung integrates RDNA 2 into the next-generation Exynos mobile processors, bringing Ray Tracing capabilities to flagship smartphones.

Introducing the AMD Radeon 6000M Series Mobile Graphics Cards

Unlike the quieter launch of the AMD Radeon 5000M Series, AMD officially unveiled the new AMD Radeon 6000M Series Mobile graphics cards at Computex 2021, boasting advanced features and significant performance improvements.
