At the AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) “Next Horizon Gaming” livestream event at
E3 today, President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su unveiled the company’s
next-generation PC gaming platform, bringing new levels of
performance and efficiency and introducing powerful features for
gamers everywhere, based on the new AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 Series
graphics cards and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ desktop processors.
The AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 graphics cards are built
on the new AMD RDNA gaming architecture to deliver superior visual
fidelity, lightning-fast performance and advanced features to power
the latest AAA and eSports titles. The new product family also
includes the 50th Anniversary Edition AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT
graphics card that commemorates the company’s 50th anniversary by
offering increased clocks and a luxurious gold accented shroud
featuring Dr. Lisa Su’s signature.
The 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ desktop processors deliver leadership
performance across gaming, productivity and content creation
applications, offering more performance-critical on-die cache
than ever before. Today, Dr. Su previewed the latest addition to
the product family – the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ 9 3950X, the world’s
first 16-core mainstream desktop processor.
“We’ve made significant technology bets to push the envelope on
high-performance computing and give gamers the hardware they need
to power the experiences they want,” said Dr. Su. “Our
industry-leading Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors and Radeon RX
5700 Series graphics cards combine leadership design, performance,
technology, and efficiency to provide the ultimate gaming
experiences. From super-fast frame rates, to new levels of visual
realism and image quality, or the ability to easily create, capture
and share gaming experiences, PCs featuring our new Ryzen
processors and Radeon GPUs offer exceptional performance and
features for every gamer at every price point.”
“Seventy percent of PC gamers today are using three-year-old or
older graphics hardware1 that lacks the necessary horsepower and
capabilities to deliver fully immersive, high-fidelity and
high-performance gaming experiences,” said Scott Herkelman,
corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies
Group at AMD. “Our new Radeon graphics cards with RDNA redefine
what’s possible in 1440p gameplay, delivering stunning visuals,
amazing performance and industry-leading features to take gaming
experiences to the next level.”
Superior 1440p Gaming
The AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 Series graphics cards include several
powerful new features and capabilities to deliver superior 1440p
gaming experiences, including:
- Ground-breaking RDNA gaming architecture –
Built from the ground up for superior performance, scalability and
power efficiency, RDNA was designed to power the future of PC,
console, mobile and cloud-based gaming for years to come. It
features a new compute unit design optimized for improved
efficiency, and a multi-level cache hierarchy designed to provide
reduced latency, higher bandwidth and lower power. It also includes
a streamlined graphics pipeline that is optimized for
performance-per-clock and high clock speeds. Delivering up to 1.25X
higher performance-per-clock2 and up to 1.5X higher
performance-per-watt3 compared to the previous-generation Graphics
Core Next (GCN) architecture, RDNA provides the computational
horsepower to enable thrilling, immersive gaming by enhancing
explosions, physics, lighting effects and more, and by delivering
fluid, high-framerate gaming experiences.
- Radeon Image Sharpening (RIS) – Restores
clarity to in-game images that have been softened by other
post-process effects. RIS combines with GPU uspcaling to provide
sharp visuals at fluid frame rates on very high-resolution
displays, and works across DirectX® 9, 12, and Vulkan® titles.
- FidelityFX – An open-source developer toolkit
available in the coming weeks on GPUOpen that makes it easier for
developers to create high-quality post-processing effects that make
games look beautiful while offering a balance of visual fidelity
and performance. FidelityFX features Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening
(CAS) that draws out detail in low-contrast areas while minimizing
artifacts caused by typical image sharpening routines. Developers
plan to integrate CAS into a number of popular games, and Unity
Technologies plans to integrate it into its real-time 3D
development platform.
- Radeon™ Anti-Lag – Optimized for eSports,
Radeon™ Anti-Lag improves competitiveness by decreasing
input-to-display response times by up to 31 percent4, delivering an
experience similar to higher framerates.
- Extreme refresh rates – RDNA enables
DisplayPort™ 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC) to deliver
extreme refresh rates, color depth and resolutions up to 8K HDR at
60Hz or 4K HDR at 144+ Hz on cutting edge displays, including the
world’s first monitor to support DSC: the new ASUS Republic of
Gamers 43-inch monitor previewing at E3. The new monitor is capable
of delivering 4K HDR at 144Hz with a single DisplayPort™ 1.4
cable.
- Largest gaming display ecosystem5 – With over
700 supported monitors to choose from, gamers can enjoy
stutter-free, tear-free gameplay with AMD Radeon FreeSync™6 and
Radeon FreeSync™ 2 HDR technology7.
The 7nm Radeon™ RX 5700 XT, RX 5700 and the 50th Anniversary
Edition Radeon™ RX 5700 XT graphics cards are the first gaming
graphics cards to support the PCIe® 4.0 interface. Additional

"expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "intends," "plans,"
"pro forma," "estimates," "anticipates," or the negative of these
words and phrases, other variations of these words and phrases or
comparable terminology. Investors are cautioned that the
forward-looking statements in this document are based on current
beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of
this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such
statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual results and other
future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and
statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations include, without
limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s dominance of the
microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may
limit AMD’s ability to compete effectively; AMD has a wafer supply
agreement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with obligations to
purchase all of its microprocessor and APU product requirements,
and a certain portion of its GPU product requirements, manufactured
at process nodes larger than 7 nanometer from GF with limited
exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing
requirements, AMD’s business could be adversely impacted; AMD
relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they
are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and
using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could be materially
adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing
yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its financial
results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its
ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and
performance levels that provide value to its customers while
supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if
AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or
obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be
unable to make all of its planned investments in research and
development or other strategic investments; the loss of a
significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD;
AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is
dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party
products and the success of those products; global economic and
market uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and
operating results; AMD’s products may be subject to security
vulnerabilities that could have a material adverse effect on AMD;

compromise AMD’s intellectual property or other sensitive
information, be costly to remediate and cause significant damage to
its business, reputation and operations; AMD’s operating results
are subject to quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; AMD may not
be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations
or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a large amount of
indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position
and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its
contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and
the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD
that may adversely affect AMD’s ability to operate its business;
the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly

legal and economic risks and natural disasters, which could have a
material adverse effect on it; the conversion of the 2.125%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership interest
of AMD’s existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price
of its common stock; uncertainties involving the ordering and
shipment of AMD’s products could materially adversely affect it;
the demand for AMD’s products depends in part on the market
conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations
in demand for AMD’s products or a market decline in any of these

measured in watts, it is important to distinguish between thermal
and electrical watts. Thermal wattage for processors is conveyed
via thermal design power (TDP). TDP is a calculated value that
conveys an appropriate thermal solution to achieve the intended
operation of a processor. Electrical watts are not a variable in
the TDP calculation. By design, electrical watts can vary from
workload to workload and may exceed thermal watts. GD-10911
