The RDNA architecture has been a true success by AMD, being focused purely for the video game market.

Following the GCN debacle in the gaming market, AMD developed the RDNA architecture. This architecture is directly and exclusively focused on the gaming market. Its first iteration is the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT , which compete with NVIDIA's mid-range offerings. This architecture was developed to have a long lifespan. The only thing missing is for them to compete with the high-end market.

This new architecture points ways and will be integrated into the next generation of consoles. It was also recently announced by Samsung to integrate it into its smartphone SoCs. In addition, Navi 20 should offer support for RayTracing technology, a technology that is here to stay.

AMD will bring RDNA architecture to smartphone or cloud gaming

“Thanks to the broad influence of AMD and its extensive partnerships, the RDNA architecture will unfold and, over time, affect almost every sector of the industry. Ultimately, the RDNA family will grow to include processors for power-constrained smartphones and tablets, video game consoles, cloud gaming services, and a full range of gaming GPUs. From the lowest cost to the highest performance. Bringing the benefits of RDNA architecture to millions of devices and people around the planet "

We see how Zen architecture has had a strong impact on the company's finances. It is true that when a new iteration is launched it does not work perfectly, but the company works hard to solve it and it succeeds. RDNA is expected to be somewhat similar, but in the graphics card market.

Samsung seems to have seen it clearly and will use it in its future SoC for smartphone gaming. According to the latest information, Google will implement RDNA graphics on Stadia. Obviously the price / performance ratio is better than NVIDIA graphics. Perhaps the best thing about NVIDIA is that it innovates a lot and forces AMD to go a bit behind.
