AMD or New Polaris graphics card energy consumption is expected to increase 50%

Tencent Digital (Compiled: Hamish) AMD has released three graphics cards based on the Polaris architecture: Radeon RX 480, 470 and 460. Even so, AMD is still doing nothing in the high-end graphics area. Now the company decided to reverse this situation, according to the latest report, AMD will launch a new improved version of Polaris graphics card, the performance per watt can be increased by 50%.

A few days ago, Wccftech, a technology media company, said that AMD is developing and improving the new Polaris architecture graphics card. It is reported that the performance of the new Polaris graphics card is similar to that of the Radeon RX 480, but the TDP is reduced from 150W to 95W. The other one is the low-end graphics card based on the Polaris 11 architecture. The performance remains unchanged, and the TDP is reduced from 75W to 50W.

At the same time, Wccftech also reported that AMD will develop new Radeon RX 485, 475, 465, these new cards should be a reinforced version of the current graphics card. It is expected that these graphics cards will be equipped on laptops to reverse the current monopoly of mobile graphics cards by Nvidia.

In fact, from the two embedded graphics cards previously released by AMD, the RX 480 can be reduced to 95W, while the RX 460 can also be reduced to 50W, keeping performance while keeping power consumption down.
