The Radeon RX 5000 series is a series of graphics processors developed by AMD, based on their RDNA architecture. The series is targeting the mainstream mid to high-end segment and is the successor to the Radeon RX Vega series.[2] [3] The launch occurred on July 7, 2019.[4] It is manufactured using TSMC's 7 nm FinFET semiconductor fabrication process.[5]

Architecture

See main article: AMD RDNA microarchitecture. The Navi GPUs are the first AMD GPUs to use the new RDNA architecture,[6] whose compute units have been redesigned to improve efficiency and instructions per clock (IPC). It features a multi-level cache hierarchy, which offers higher performance, lower latency, and less power consumption compared to the previous series. Navi also features an updated memory controller with GDDR6 support.[7]

The encoding stack has changed from using Unified Video Decoder and Video Coding Engine, to using Video Core Next.[8] VCN was previously used in the GCN 5th generation (Vega) implementation in Raven Ridge, though not utilized in other Vega product lines.[9]

Vulkan (API)

See main article: Vulkan. Vulkan 1.2 is supported with Adrenalin 20.1.2 and Linux Mesa3D 20.0.0.[10] [11]

Vulkan 1.3 is supported with Adrenalin 22.1.2 and Linux Mesa3D 22.0.0.[12] [13]

Resizable BAR support

PCIe Resizable BAR (RBAR, branded as Smart Access Memory, SAM) is supported with Adrenalin 21.9.1 or higher.[14] [15]

This feature (first available on RX 6000 series) is now supported on RX 5000 series GPUs.
