AMD is also preparing to launch RDNA graphics for cryptocurrency mining


The miners are a big problem, obviously only for the consumer, and proof of this is that AMD also wants its piece of the pie with dedicated graphics for mining, and is that these GPUs for mining are extremely expensive. Although we already know the price of the Nvidia CMP 30HX, we are waiting for the photographs to be filtered for an article in condition, but we can already tell you that the scarcity and the mining fashion is something well received by the industry.

Now we know that AMD would create these graphics with graphics chips based on the RDNA architecture, which although it is a more obsolete architecture, continues to use the 7nm manufacturing process of TSMC, so each of these graphics chips implies a gaming card, processor or console that is not released, but of course, it generates a lot of additional income. If the shortage of chips is not going to improve substantially until 2022, then at least it is with products that generate a much greater profit.

One of the chips used would be the Navi 12, which never arrived for the consumer market as such, but came exclusively in the form of an AMD Radeon Pro 5600M exclusive to Apple MacBook computers with 2560 Stream Processors @ 1035 MHz with 8 GB of memory HBM2 @ 770 MHz which with a memory interface of 2048 bits offers a bandwidth of 394.2 GB / with a TDP of 50W.

Specifically, AMD could be preparing the launch of variants called RX 5700XTB, RX 5700B and RX 5500XTB since last November, which could discard the Radeon name as they are not gaming products, as Nvidia did with its brand. GeForce, so they could create a new brand for it.
