It's been four years since AMD launched RDNA, the successor to the venerable GCN graphics architecture. We take a look through the tech and numbers to see...

In the space of four years, GPUs have gone from having a few megabytes of cache to over tenfold that figure. Why did this happen and what...

Intel is a newcomer to the world of discrete graphics cards, and the company's Xe architecture is driving its effort to establish itself alongside AMD and Nvidia. We've seen Xe variants serve in integrated GPUs and midrange discrete cards, but Intel's not stopping there. Their GPU ambitions extend to the datacenter and supercomputing markets. That's…

GPUs started out as devices meant purely for graphics rendering, but their highly parallel nature made them attractive for certain compute tasks too. As the GPU compute scene grew over the past couple decades, Nvidia made massive investments to capture the compute market. Part of this involved recognizing that compute tasks have different needs than…
