Overview

• In a joint video, Mark Cerny and Jack Huynh outlined Neural Arrays, Radiance Cores, and Universal Compression as pillars of the effort.
• Neural Arrays aim to let compute units operate as a coordinated AI engine to process larger image regions and enable more advanced upscalers and ray regeneration.
• Radiance Cores would offload BVH ray traversal from shaders to dedicated hardware to speed ray and path tracing.
• Universal Compression proposes compressing all data moving to and from memory to raise effective bandwidth for AI and ray workloads.
• AMD says the technologies are intended across its GPUs for consoles, laptops, and PCs, while Cerny says a new PlayStation is expected in the next years and any 2027 timing remains speculative.
