Today at Computex 2021 AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) introduced several
powerful new solutions that take high-performance gaming to new
levels. Designed to bring world-class performance, incredible
visual fidelity and immersive experiences to gaming laptops, the
new AMD Radeon™ RX 6000M Series Mobile Graphics include the
top-of-stack Radeon RX 6800M – the fastest AMD Radeon GPU for
laptops1, delivering desktop-class performance2 to power ultra-high
frame rate 1440p gaming anywhere.
AMD also introduced the AMD Advantage™ Design Framework, the
result of a multi-year collaboration between AMD and its global PC
partners to deliver the next generation of premium,
high-performance gaming laptops. Combining AMD Radeon RX 6000M
Series Mobile Graphics, AMD Radeon Software and AMD Ryzen™ 5000
Series Mobile Processors with exclusive AMD smart technologies and
other advanced system design characteristics, AMD Advantage systems
are designed to deliver best-in-class gaming experiences. The first
AMD Advantage laptops are expected to be available from leading
OEMs beginning this month.
In addition, AMD unveiled AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR),
a cutting-edge spatial upscaling technology designed to boost
framerates up to 2.5X in select titles at 4K resolution3 and
deliver a high-quality, high-resolution gaming experience. More
than 10 game developers plan to integrate FSR into their top titles
and game engines in 2021, with the first games supporting FSR
expected to be available later this month.
“There have been incredible advances in gaming over the last
several years, with powerful technologies allowing desktop PCs to
deliver high-octane, beautifully complex and immersive worlds like
never before,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and
general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “Today we’re
excited to bring the high-performance, energy-efficient AMD RDNA™ 2
architecture to next-generation laptops to unlock the same level of
high-performance experiences and true-to-life visuals for mobile
gamers. With AMD Advantage, gamers can be sure these next-gen
laptops are designed, optimized and purpose-built for the best
possible gaming experiences.”
AMD Radeon RX 6000M Series Mobile Graphics
AMD Radeon RX 6000M Series mobile graphics are built on
breakthrough AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture, delivering up to 1.5X
higher performance4 or up to 43 percent lower power at the same
performance level5 compared to AMD RDNA architecture. They also
bring advanced technologies such as AMD Infinity Cache and DirectX®
Raytracing (DXR) to next-gen laptops.
The AMD Radeon RX 6800M GPU is a graphics powerhouse, offering
world-class 1440p/120 FPS performance6 with a powerful blend of
raytracing, compute and traditional effects for true-to-life
visuals. The AMD Radeon RX 6700M GPU offers 1440p/100FPS gaming
performance7, next-level visuals and efficiency designed for the
new generation of advanced gaming and content creation laptops. The
AMD Radeon RX 6600M GPU is designed to deliver high refresh rate
1080p/100FPS gaming8 for lightweight laptops. Radeon RX 6000M
Series mobile graphics bring numerous game-changing features
available to gamers on the go, including:
- AMD Infinity Cache – Up to 96MB of last-level
data cache integrated on the GPU die reduces latency and power
consumption to deliver higher gaming performance than traditional
architectural designs.
- AMD Smart Access Memory – Unlocks higher
performance for select AMD-powered laptops by providing AMD Ryzen
processors with access to the entire high-speed AMD Radeon GDDR6
graphics memory.
- AMD SmartShift Technology – Dynamically shifts
laptop power between AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors and AMD Radeon
Graphics, providing an additional increase in gaming
performance.
- AMD Radeon Chill – Power-saving feature that
helps save battery by regulating frame rates based on in-game
movements.
- AMD FidelityFX – Supported by more than 45
titles, AMD FidelityFX is an open-source toolkit of visual
enhancement effects for game developers available through AMD
GPUOpen. It includes a robust collection of rasterized lighting,
shadow and reflection effects, as well as the new AMD FidelityFX
Super Resolution technology, that can be integrated into the latest
games with minimal performance overhead.

AMD Advantage Design Framework
With the new AMD Advantage Design Framework, AMD and its global
PC partners are redefining high-performance mobile gaming. AMD
Advantage laptops combine AMD Radeon RX 6000M Series Mobile
Graphics, AMD Radeon Software and AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile
Processors with exclusive AMD smart technologies, AMD FreeSync™
Premium-certified displays, fast NVME storage, optimal thermal
designs, and other advanced system design characteristics.
AMD Advantage laptops are designed to deliver best-in-class
gaming experiences, providing new levels of performance and
responsiveness. Enhancements from AMD SmartShift and AMD Smart
Access Memory boost gaming performance on these systems. In
addition, AMD Advantage laptops are optimized to deliver over
100FPS gaming in today’s most visually demanding titles, all-day
battery-powered video playback (10+ hrs.)10, 144Hz+ high-refresh
rate, vividly bright (300+ nits) displays, and custom-tuned
thermals for cool operation during continuous gameplay – all packed
into sleek laptop designs.
Several AMD Advantage gaming laptops are expected to be
available in 2021. The ROG Strix G15/17 AMD Advantage Edition
gaming laptops, featuring AMD Radeon RX 6800M GPUs, AMD Ryzen
5900HX Mobile Processors and AMD smart technologies, are expected
to be available beginning in early June at Best Buy and other
leading retailers. The OMEN 16 laptop, featuring AMD Radeon RX
6600M GPUs, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX Mobile Processors and AMD smart
technologies, are expected to be available soon at JD.com. AMD

later this year.
AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution
AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) offers broad support on
more than 100 AMD processors and GPUs as well as competitor GPUs.
FSR offers four quality settings allowing gamers to adjust the
balance between image quality and performance based on their
preferences, providing high-performance, visually stunning gaming
experiences for even the most demanding visual features, including
raytracing. FSR offers up to 2.5X higher performance in
“Performance” mode than native resolution gaming in select
titles.
“AMD has been a strong partner throughout the development of
Godfall, providing players with stunning visuals and world-class
performance to power this first-of-its-kind, looter-slasher, melee
action-RPG,” said Keith Lee, CEO of Counterplay Games. “Now, with
FidelityFX Super Resolution, AMD has delivered another amazing
platform-agnostic feature that’s easy for developers to implement
and provides the Godfall community with higher performance at
higher resolutions with all of the bells and whistles, including
raytracing, cranked way up.”
