It's been four years since AMD launched RDNA, the successor to the venerable GCN graphics architecture. We take a look through the tech and numbers to see...
I mean… AMD spun off their fabs in 2008/2009, which eventually became glofo. To say glofo 32nm was bad in 2011 is really to say AMD 32nm was bad in 2011 because much of the 32nm research and development would have been locked in from when AMD was still running the fabs. I imagine they’d have been far worse, even, without the capital injections from Mubadala.
