The latest Linux kernel patch. It can be seen that AMD is developing a mining dedicated graphics card based on the RDNA graphics architecture, using Navi 10/12 cores. AMD will develop a dedicated mining card, using the first-generation RDNA architecture that is expected to be similar to GPUs like RX 5700.
AMD is preparing to develop three mining cards, named Radeon RX 5700XT, RX 5700B, and RX 5500XTB. The suffix letter ‘B’ means the abbreviation of blockchain, which indicates that it is specially developed for mining.
One of the mining cards will have 40 EUs and 2560 stream processors. Foreign media said that AMD does not require to be equipped with expensive HBM2 video memory in the mining card, and the detailed information needs to wait for AMD’s official news.
Last month, Nvidia officially declared that it will release a dedicated CMP mining card. The CMP 30HX, 40HX, and 50HX are all based on the 12nm Turing architecture, and the CMP 90HX utilizes the ampere architecture that is very similar to the current RTX 3080.
