Underfox on Twitter The use of a mini processor inside the core complex to maximize the performance and power savings of the AMD SoC will be a game changer in Zen4. A new AMD patent list will be posted today. Sorry for being late! Tested by AMD labs using an AMD RX 6800 XT, on 20.45.13a driver, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (3.70GHz) CPU, 16GB DDR4-3200MHz, AM4 motherboard, Win10 Pro 64 with AMD Smart Access Memory enabled. Performance may vary. The latest tweets from @AMDUK. The latest tweets from @AMDUK.
During its Game Stack Live event this week for developers, Microsoft revealed that it is incorporating AMD’s FidelityFX tools directly into the Xbox Series X/S game development kit. This enables studios to get parity between their PC and Xbox versions of a game. But this implementation of FidelityFX also serves as a foundation for Xbox games to get important next-gen visual features like AMD Super Resolution. That tech is crucial for getting acceptable performance from high-resolution visuals with ray tracing.
In a blog post, AMD said effects like denoising for ray-traced shadows are coming to Xbox with FidelityFX now. Denoising is important because ray-traced lighting can make shadows look grainy (or noisy) without this smoothing algorithm. And this may help AMD because many publishers build their games for consoles first. So if those graphical effects are on Xbox, devs may put in the effort to support AMD-exclusive features. And then that work will also pay off on PC, where the company is competing for market share with Nvidia.
This strategy is one that Nvidia is reportedly taking with its Nintendo partnership. The rumored, upcoming revised Switch “Pro” will allegedly use a new Nvidia system on a chip that supports the company’s deep-learning supersampling (DLSS). And by adding that to Switch releases, more games may support DLSS on PC in the future.

AMD Super Resolution, which is the company’s DLSS competitor, isn’t ready yet. The company told the media it will talk about Super Resolution soon. But the company is not waiting before making preparations for that technology. By getting FidelityFX into place on Microsoft’s console, AMD should be able to add Super Resolution to the console relatively quickly when the time comes.

AMD is launching a big update for its Radeon Adrenaline software suite that improves remote gaming and some accessibility settings. This is the software that comes with Radeon video cards, and it enables gamers to get the most out of their hardware.
“Providing powerful hardware is only half of the equation to deliver the extraordinary, world-class triple-A esports and multiplayer experiences gamers have come to expect,” AMD gaming solutions chief Frank Azor said. “With the new AMD Radeon Software release, our goal was to allow gamers to unlock the full potential of their AMD gaming systems, enabling them to fully immerse themselves in beautiful, hyper-realistic worlds, easily share their latest battles and victories, find new ways to game with friends and customize their gaming experience as they see fit.”
AMD Link 4.0 is one of the standout additions to the Radeon software. This is the company’s remote-gaming tool that previously enabled gamers to stream their PC games to mobile devices. Now, AMD is releasing a version of AMD Link for Windows. This enables you to stream games from one PC to another.
The app can stream a game to another device at up to 144 frames per second with 5.1 surround sound. And this new version also has significantly reduced latency and higher-bandwidth options.

Radeon GPUs are also getting a robust method of color correcting games. AMD claims that players can use this to adjust game visuals for accessibility issues like color blindness.
Other features include simplified streaming options, custom installation options, and hardware-accelerated AV1 video decode. AV1 is a new efficient video standard. It enables a higher quality image at lower bitrates than current codecs.
