The gpus amd artic islands will offer twice the energy efficiency of fiji

The next generation of GPUs promises great improvements thanks to the migration to a manufacturing process at 14 / 16nm FinFET from the current 28nm planar. From AMD we will receive the Artic Islands GPUs that will arrive throughout 2016.

GPUs AMD Artic Islands would arrive with the new memory HBM2 offering bandwidths in the order of 1 TB / s, it is very possible that only the highest-end models include this new technology.

AMD works hard with Artic Islands to greatly increase its energy efficiency, something that is logical on the other hand when moving to a node of less nm, so that its future GPUs will offer twice the performance per watt consumed compared to the current Fiji.

We could be talking about the first GPUs capable of sustaining leading games at 4K resolution and 60 fps with the maximum graphics settings. They would also be the first virtual reality- oriented GPUs with devices like the Oculus Rift that need a minimum of 90 fps to deliver an optimal experience.

AMD's next top-of-the-range GPU would be called Greenland and would come with 18 million transistors, up from 8.9 million found in Fiji. With this we could see a whopping 8, 192 Shader Processors and a performance possibly up to 80% better than Fiji in the best cases.
