Nuclear fusion involves smashing small Atoms together to release incredible amounts of power. That’s likely what AMD hopes it can unleash when its next-generation Fusion APU’s hit the street early next year.
Dubbed Accelerated Processing Units, Fusion fuses one or two x86 cores with a fairly powerful graphics core in the hopes of smashing Intel’s popular but woefully underpowered Atom chips. And while it can’t take the mighty Nehalem microarchitecture chips head on in x86 performance, Fusion can definitely put a serious amount of pain on Intel’s Achilles’ heel : graphics performance.
AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.
The frustrating Intel Raptor Lake CPU issues continue to make their presence known, this time in the South Korean gaming community.
Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.
So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.
More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability
I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.
Nintendo and Ati graphics are cool, Nintendo and AMD Fusion would be quite a match. low power and HD capable graphics...
