Benchmarks & (short) die-analysis of Navi 12

Posted: 19 Jun 2020 09:37 PM PDT

AMD Navi 12
RDNA1 architecture
appr. ~209 mm² die-size, 7nm TSMC
40 shader clusters (2560 stream processors)
2048-bit HBM2 memory interface
known solutions: Radeon Pro 5600M
released: June 15, 2020

die comparison with Navi 10 on Imgur

Navi 10 is 251mm², so ~42mm² bigger. HBM2 interfaces & controller are (obvious) smaller on Navi 12, but it looks like that AMD has shrunked some other parts. Maybe there are some minor architecture differences between Navi 10 & 12, maybe AMD need some less transistors because of the lower clock rates of Navi 12. Maybe they can also reach a higher transistor density - because of the lower clock rates.
