As expected, AMD has held its Big Navi event announcing its first RDNA2-based Radeon RX 6000 series cards, including the RX 6800, RX 6800XT, and the flagship Radeon RX 6900XT. In addition to performance and power efficiency improvements, the RDNA2-based RX 6000 series cards will bring some new improvements like the Infinity Cache, Smart Access Memory, DirectX 12 Ultimate support, and more.

$35 billion biggest to date

News that AMD might acquire Xilinx was quite a surprise after the Nvidia–ARM consolidation, but not surprising. Using current stock and market value increase, AMD decided to make a strategic decision to play better in the data center, 5G, automotive, and fight against the Intel–Altera alliance.

Worried they will lose access to tech

Huawei and several other Chinese tech firms have raised concerns to local regulators about chipmaker Nvidia deal to buy UK-based chip designer ARM.

Data center strategy

It is impossible to get a comment from either AMD or Xilinx on this matter, but as far as we could ask around, AMD is going to attempt to buy Xilinx. The move will help the company’s data center strategy, and it is carefully targeted.
