Roadmap of AMD GPU: after Polaris and Vega arrives Ships in 2018

Thanks to the site Video Cards emerges a new updated roadmap that provides information on what will be the next generations of GPUs that AMD will propose on the market in the course of 2016. However, no shortage rumors about what will be the future development expectations for 2017 and 2018 at least at the architectural level.

For this year, as noted, we expect the debut of the solutions architecture-based GPU with Polaris Polaris Polaris 10 and 11. These GPUs will be based on the architecture Graphics Core Next Generation, by implementing support for encoding and decoding and connectivity HEVC display according to the HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.3. The production technology used for the construction of these GPU will be the FinFET to 14 nanometers, here also as previously anticipated by the same AMD.

In 2017, presumably at the beginning of the year, we will see the debut of the architecture indicated by the name of Vega code. Of this family will surely partly a top of the range proposed, the first that will be combined with HBM memory technology (High Bandwidth Memory) second generation. NVIDIA has already announced a few weeks ago your card P100 Tesla GPU-based Pascal family and combined with HBM2 memory, without providing precise information on the launch period: it is conceivable that there will be in volume before the end of the year, precisely because even the reduced availability of HBM2 memory modules.

In the course of 2017 we can assume the debut of several GPUs Vega family, who will implement some of the most high-end technology models HBM2 but also find forms at least in the mid-range segment. The year 2018 will see the debut of the Navi family solutions, for which the only technique suitable AMD concerns like the Vega used memory technology. It is shown an architecture of new generation memory, for which, however, are not present in details.

It remains now to understand when exactly AMD will officially launch on the first cards of the Polaris family market: it's the Computex 2016 in Taipei, at the end of May, the seat of the first ads will see him before long.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
