AMD is gearing up for a strong 2020 thanks to the arrival of the next-gen consoles. CEO Lisa Su followed up Team Red\u2019s recent fiscal results with a discussion on the upcoming consoles, both of which feature AMD Radeon and Zen hardware.<\/p>\n
Su expects AMD to have a very strong second half of 2020 due to the expected launch of Sony\u2019s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft\u2019s \u2018Project Scarlett\u2019. While the final specs have yet to be publicised, it\u2019s expected both consoles will use a variant of AMD\u2019s 7nm Navi GPUs with RDNA architecture, as well as a Zen 2 processor. Sony has confirmed the PS5 will have an 8 Core \/ 16 Thread Zen 2 CPU.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe console business is a great business for us,\u201d <\/em>said Su during a chat with GamesBeat. \u201cWe\u2019re very happy to be in the next-generation Sony and Microsoft consoles for 2020. We\u2019re going through a product transition at the moment. Most of the energies have turned to the new consoles. But our expectation is that as this generation ramps down, we\u2019ll have a strong ramp to the next generation, particularly as we go into the second half of 2020.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n AMD hardware is already used in both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, accounting for around 150 million hardware sales. Just to top it off, AMD hardware is also used for Google Stadia\u2019s cloud machines, meaning racks and racks of AMD Radeon graphics cards. The pay-off there is going to hinge on whether Stadia can actually crack the market or not. Meanwhile Nvidia hardware can be found in the Nintendo Switch, which itself is probably a nice little earner for Team Green due to its booming success.<\/p>\n <\/ins><\/p>\n While it can be difficult to gauge precise numbers, both Microsoft and Sony are likely to be prepping orders for millions of units of AMD hardware in the run-up to both consoles\u2019 holiday 2020 launches. AMD\u2019s plans don\u2019t end there though. It\u2019s not just the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett where they want to see AMD hardware – AMD wants its hardware everywhere<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe way to think about it, we want Radeon graphics to be everywhere,\u201d<\/em> Su went on to say. \u201cEverywhere means in the datacenter, in gaming, in PCs, in consoles, as well as in mobile. Samsung, as our partner in graphics \u2014 it\u2019s both a licensing opportunity, as well as a development opportunity, where we\u2019re jointly optimizing our Radeon graphics for lower-power applications. Again, it\u2019s one of these areas where having the architecture span across all those product segments is a good thing for developers and a good thing for the architecture.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n AMD\u2019s upward trend continues despite being comparatively slow to flesh out its desktop 7nm graphics chips this year. There\u2019s a feeling that once the 7nm process matures we could have quite a force on our hands. AMD\u2019s already flexed its muscles impressively in the CPU market, with notable gains on Intel, and all eyes are now on what AMD Radeon goodies are going to be cooked up next.<\/p>\n Source<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AMD is gearing up for a strong 2020 thanks to the arrival of the next-gen…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[242,1256,1255,1254,595],"class_list":["post-1916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-amd","tag-expects","tag-ramp","tag-strong","tag-xbox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
