When AMD’s Chief Architect Raja Koduri announced the next generation 14nm GPUs, code-named Polaris 11 and Polaris 10, designed specifically to power high-end desktops and deliver high-end console-class gaming performance to notebooks, he promised ‘Polaris as an architecture that will deliver a “historic” and momentous leap in performance per watt’
Why Polaris? Koduri explains that because stars are the most effective photon generators in our universe, AMD decided to name its most groundbreaking graphics architecture to date after “Polaris” because it’s the brightest star seen from the earth.
Raja Koduri, vice president of AMD and chief architect of Radeon Technologies Group has a huge and incredibly ambitious goal of powering 90% of the world’s pixels. With that aim in mind, just as stars are the most efficient photon generators in the universe, he wants AMD’s vast graphics expertise to create GPU’s that become the world’s most efficient pixel generators.
