AMD patents hint at significant ray tracing improvements in future GPU architectures

Reddit user MrMPFR's analysis of AMD patents from the past year and a half reveals that the company is serious about treating ray tracing as the future of real-time graphics rendering. While Nvidia has driven most of the technology's progress over the last several years, Team Red might finally be...Read Entire Article

While rumours are on the way to future GPU architectures, first news points to their noses about UDNA, AMD's ambitious project to merge its Pro and Gaming branches, with the aim of offering us the continuation of RDNA. This movement, announced last September, should normally offer us a new architecture that would replace RDNA4 and that would announce a new way, especially for the management of the Ray Tracing. According to the fine and thorough …

AMD patents hint at significant ray tracing improvements in future GPU architectures - WorldNL Magazine

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. In context: Previous generations of AMD graphics cards have lagged behind Nvidia's in ray tracing performance, but Team Red's most recent Radeon RX 9000 GPUs have made significant strides in closing the gap. Numerous recent patents suggest the company is only just getting started, with future hardware potentially making ray tracing and path tracing…

News from HD Technology. Visit www.hd-tecnologia.com for the latest news. There is no doubt that AMD has improved enough with its RX 9000 and the RDNA 4 architecture, but what comes with UDNA 5 could mark a before and after in the world of graphics cards. Up to now, NVIDIA has led the market in ray mapping, thanks to years of advantage and a constant investment in technologies such as DLSS and dedicated cores. However, AMD would be about to clos…

AMD Patents Provide Early UDNA Insights - "Blackwell-esque" Ray Tracing Performance Could be Achievable

Last September, AMD leadership publicly revealed UDNA—an "unforking" of previously separate enterprise and commercial GPU branches. Not long after this announcement, TechPowerUp's resident Serbian correspondent—AleksandarK—sat down with Team Red's Andrej Zdravkovic. The Chief Software Officer (and SVP) stated that a fair chunk of UDNA-related development work would be done by local engineers. Zdravkovic discussed this technology's eventual deplo…

If you have been interested in purchasing a new graphics card, the truth is that AMD has done a better job than NVIDIA in this last generation. Its RX 9000 with RDNA 4 architecture have experienced an interesting improvement in terms of gross performance, as a RX 9070 XT renders practically as a top RX 7900 XTX of last generation range. However, where they have been surprised it has been at Ray Tracing where they are better than any other AMD GP…
