AMD hasn’t made a GPU this small in almost half a decade, when they released the RX 550 and other parts based on Polaris 12 (101mm 2).

Which, not to get hung up on die sizes here, but it’s important to underscore just how small Navi 24 is at a time when high-end PC GPUs are in the 500-700mm 2 range. That’s less than half the size of Navi 23 (237mm 2) or even Navi 14 (158mm 2). Based on what we know about N6, the switch to it likely isn’t adding much in the way of performance for AMD, but the roughly 15% improvement in transistor density will enable AMD to get that many more dies out of every wafer at a time when fab capacity is at a premium.Īll of which makes Navi 24 a very small chip, measuring in at 107mm 2.

This marks the second AMD GPU/accelerator we’ve seen made on 6nm – after the gigantic CDNA2 chip in the Radeon Instinct MI250X – so AMD is taking full advantage of their close working relationship with TSMC, and in turn taking advantage of the benefits offered by what’s essentially a further refined version of TSMC’s 7nm process. Instead, the smallest of the Navi chips is being made on TSMC’s N6 line. The net result is that AMD is able to get a Navi 2x design down to 5.4B transistors, fewer transistors than its predecessor, Navi 14, or even the last-generation Polaris 10.īut as an added kicker, AMD isn’t reusing TSMC’s 7nm process for Navi 24. And even the video encode/decode blocks have been scaled down, with AMD taking out the encode block and removing AV1 from the decode block. Meanwhile the Infinity Cache is just 16MB – though even at that size, the Infinity Cache is still 15% of AMD’s transistor budget. Navi 24 offers just 2 display controllers, for example. The smallest of the Navi GPUs has seen AMD once again take a scalpel to the Navi 2x architecture, essentially cutting Navi 23 in half to deliver a part with half of the CUs, half the Infinity Cache, and roughly half of the power consumption.Īnd it’s not just the number of CUs that have been cut down AMD has stripped down the Navi 2x design just about as far as it can go. The fourth and seemingly final member of AMD’s Navi 2x GPU stack, Navi 24 is aimed at the low-end/entry-level segment of the market. And while the $199 price tag is unlikely to arouse much enthusiasm, the addition of another video card SKU – and one that’s relatively useless for crypto mining – is likely to be a welcome relief for the capacity-constrained discrete video card market.ĭiving right in, the big hardware development driving the new desktop cards is the introduction of AMD’s new Navi 24 GPU. Based on AMD’s new Navi 24 GPU – the first GPU made on TSMC’s N6 process – AMD is broadening their desktop video card lineup by adding a new low-end option.

Following its announcement back at CES, today AMD is formally launching the entry-level member of its Radeon RX 6000 series of video cards: the Radeon RX 6500 XT.
