AMD takes over the company Nitero, which has developed a millimeter wave beam system for virtual reality and augmented reality glasses, eliminating annoying cables.
The company AMD has announced that it has acquired the intellectual property and key engineering talent of Nitero, a company that is a pioneer in millimeter wave solutions capable of making virtual reality wireless and of reality glasses in the future increased. This acquisition allows AMD to have a broader portfolio, which allows providers of virtual reality glasses and solutions, to have a key technology, which is necessary to develop more immersive experiences.
"Headset cables remain a major obstacle to driving the widespread adoption of virtual reality," said Mark Papermaster, AMD CTO and Vice President. "Our newly acquired VR wireless technology is focused on solving this challenge, and is another example of how AMD is investing in long-term technology to develop high-performance computing and graphics technologies that can create more immersive computing experiences."
Nitero has developed a millimeter beam shape wave chip for phase arrangement to meet the challenges of wireless VR and AR. The use of high-performance 60GHz wireless enables this technology to have multi-gigabit transmission performance power with low latency in virtual reality environments. The beamforming features solve the line of sight requirement associated with traditional high frequency millimeter wave systems, potentially eliminating hardwired VR and allowing users to more easily and engagingly immerse themselves in virtual worlds and reality. increased.
We are surprised how AMD continues to get into more projects, considering AMD Ryzen's problems with RAM and that there is no trace of the AMD Vega. As they say, who covers a lot, little squeezes.

"He who tries to do too much, does little." Roberto, I sincerely believe you are completely misunderstanding AMD's intentions. AMD has been trying to develop many technologies outside of its "usual" technological field for many years. From my point of view, and considering what AMD has been doing in recent years, it seems that its intention is to generate technological advances in every possible field, economically and for all audiences. And as a company, of course, it tries to make a profit; otherwise, it would be stupid, but it is more focused on progress than on making millions like Intel and other companies do. When you realize that AMD is no longer a "processor development" company, you might be able to understand the steps it is taking.
Not even AMD is a company that only develops processors, but that is extensible to Intel and NVIDIA. The reflection makes more reference to the stupidity of launching a RX 500 Series, a rehash of the RX 400 Series, a barely performance improvement, when they have AMD Vega in a drawer laughing, while NVIDIA has already released two graphics cards, putting pressure on AMD. It is very good that everyone develops technological improvements in all fields and that this improves prices, now, AMD is beginning to beat copper in too many fields and maybe it does not have the muscle of Intel and NVIDIA to do it, that's it.
In my opinion, the release of the RX 500 series is not bad as everyone says, it will be released at the price that the RX 400 series graphics cards are currently at, but at higher frequencies, lower consumption, lower temperatures and a little more performance, which is always good. I don't think that the release of these graphics cards is the reason why AMD delayed the release of the Vega graphics cards, in fact, I almost believe with certainty that the release of these graphics cards has brought forward the release date that AMD had initially planned for the Vega graphics cards. It has been known for almost 2 years now that AMD has developed Vega, and if it takes them longer to release it it is because they are polishing that architecture more, we have to stop thinking about AMD for graphics cards, and start thinking about RADEON, the engineers are completely different. Radeon has had up until now some DISGUSTING drivers that they are just fixing with last year’s versions, which requires some work, and not exactly 1 day. AMD may not currently have anywhere near the economic capacity of Nvidia or Intel, but they are giving us identical performance for half the price, and you just have to see how their current economic data has increased enormously compared to two years ago, and if this continues, in a year, the excuse of “AMD doesn’t have enough capacity” will no longer be valid because it will have it, and thinking about the future it will go even further, leaving other big ones far behind.
