AMD places the Radeon Technologies Group division in the hands of Mike Rayfield and David Wang, with a clear mission, to develop competitive graphics that solve all the problems of the current AMD RX Vega.

The graphics card division of AMD, specifically Radeon Technologies Group, needs a really major restructuring, as it has been seen with the AMD RX Vega, which is inefficient and does not work. The company seems to be working on completely restructuring the graphics division and the first step was to remove Raja Koduri, who has not lived up to the demands of the company. The second step has just been announced and is that the company has acquired the services of Mike Rayfield and David Wang.

Koduri left Radeon Technologies Group about four months ago to go to Intel to enhance the company's integrated graphics. Lisa Su was the one who took command of this section, which has not taken flight, you just need to look for a customized RX Vega by any partner that works with AMD, to see that there is no way to find it. It will be Mike Rayfield, who will serve as senior vice president and general manager of the division and David Wang, who will be senior vice president of engineering, who have the mission of solving the problems of the company in this field.

Lisa Su will serve as President and CEO, as well as being responsible for all strategy and management for Radeon Technologies Group. Wang will be on a mission to make quality and competitive graphics cards, while Rayfield will bring more than thirty years of expertise, building customer relationships, and delivering results.

Wang comes from Synaptics and has worked for ATI, ArtX, SGI, Axil and LSI Logic, with great success in all these companies, although his greatest success has been in Synaptics, where he managed to quadruple the design team through strategic acquisitions and organic growth. . Rayfield comes from Micron, a company in which I boost revenue and significantly improve profitability during the time I manage it.

Now, this paradigm shift comes in full transition from the 14nm of the RX Vega to 7nm. The 7nm manufacturing process is very green and represents a very important leap and the intermediate processes of 12nm and 10nm are skipped, something that can be a success or a failure. Success will be in terms of consumption, which could be reduced by 40% compared to the current Vega and an improvement in frequencies, however, the performance should also take a significant jump, although from Polaris to Vega it has been significant, yes Compared to NVIDIA solutions, there is no such jump.
