AMD Arcturus
AMD's Arcturus GPU uses the CDNA 1.0 architecture and is made using a 7 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 750 mm² and a transistor count of 50,000 million it is a very big chip. Arcturus does not support DirectX. For GPU compute applications, OpenCL version 2.1 can be used. It features 8192 shading units, 512 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs.
