AMD's new graphics engineer pledges yearly GPU releases to make PCs fun again

PC enthusiasts who are fed up waiting for new GeForce cards from Nvidia may be more excited by AMD. David Wang, AMD's new graphics chief, said he's committed to delivering a new product every year, like clockwork. Interestingly, Wang, the senior vice president of engineering for AMD's Radeon Technologies Group, seemed to blame the AI-oriented Radeon Instinct as at least somewhat of a distraction. That's somewhat ironic, given that the 7nm Vega GPU that AMD showed off Wednesday local time at Computex will be used for the Instinct series. During his time on stage at Computex, Wang showed off AMD's (unchanged) graphics roadmap, stretching out a full three years from 2017's Vega chip through an undisclosed 7nm architecture debuting in 2020.
