Most advanced AMD mobile
graphics processors deliver exceptional visual
| performance for today’s top creative applications and games |
Offering fast, powerful, and fluid
graphics performance, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today unveiled new AMD Radeon™ Vega Mobile
graphics processors for next-generation notebooks -- including the AMD Radeon™ Pro
Vega 20 and Radeon™ Pro Vega 16 graphics, which will be available as
configuration options on Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro starting late November.
AMD
Radeon™ Vega Mobile graphics deliver amazing performance in 3D rendering, photo
and video editing, and other creative applications, as well as stunning 1080p HD
gaming at ultra settings in today’s top AAA and eSports games.
Powered
by the AMD “Vega” architecture[i],
the new graphics processors were engineered to excel in notebooks for cool and
quiet operation. In addition, the processor’s razor-thin design features HBM2
memory (2nd Generation High Bandwidth Memory), which takes up less
space in a notebook compared to traditional GDDR5-based graphics processors[ii].
“Radeon™
Vega Mobile graphics raise the bar for performance in notebooks,” said Scott
Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies
Group at AMD. “They provide
the best of both worlds: amazing performance for creative applications and visually
stunning, responsive gaming for today’s biggest titles in a mobile form factor.”
Radeon™ Pro Vega
20 and Radeon™ Pro Vega 16 graphics processors breeze through today’s most demanding
rendering, gaming and editing workloads. Next-generation “Vega” architecture compute
units (nCU)[iii]
and Rapid Packed Math bring fast and flexible computational capabilities,
accelerating workloads in real-time graphics like 3D visualization.
AVAILABILITY
The
AMD Radeon™ Pro Vega 20 and
Radeon™ Pro Vega 16 graphics are new configuration options on the 15-inch
MacBook Pro, coming late November.

[ii] Because HBM2 memory
is located on the GPU package it takes up less space on the PCB than GDDR5
memory, in which the memory is located on the PCB itself.
[iii] AMD Radeon™ and
FirePro™ GPUs based on the Graphics Core Next architecture consist of multiple
discrete execution engines known as a Compute Unit (“CU”). Each CU contains 64
shaders (“Stream Processors”) working together. GD-78
