Overview

• Chris Hall of AMD told 4Gamer that Redstone’s neural rendering is converted to optimized compute shader code, enabling operation beyond Radeon hardware.
• AMD says the approach does not require dedicated AI or matrix-math cores at runtime and can integrate directly into DirectX or Vulkan with minimal latency.
• Because it runs on shader cores, AMD expects support to extend to older GPUs, with the caveat of potential performance overhead on legacy hardware.
• Reporters caution that technical compatibility does not guarantee cross-vendor release, noting AMD has not committed to enabling Redstone on rival GPUs.
• Hall added that AMD is exploring future architectures with AI accelerators compatible with Microsoft’s DirectX Cooperative Vector programming model.
