The new version of HWiNFO v6.04 has preliminary support for AMD Navi GPUs and a mysterious Emmitsburg architecture from Intel. The latest version of HWiNFO is available for download.
The inclusion of preliminary support for Navi points to the fact that the much-anticipated range of GPUs should be soon with us. AMD is finally gearing up for the launch of the anxiously anticipated Navi GPU. Before the launch of any major silicon product, device IDs are generated and preliminary support for these is added to testing, benchmarking and detection tools – one of which is HWINFO.
Nvidia has been dominating the last few months in the graphics-processing world with the releases of the GeForce GTX 16 series and GeForce RTX 20 series but there are great expectations for AMD’s Navi GPU lineup.
AMD Navi GPU is slated to be the first graphics card from AMD that will not be made on the GCN macro-architecture. This will be the first GPU architecture capable of breaking the 4096 SP limit imposed by the GCN macro arch. This is exciting stuff because it will put AMD back in the GPU game. AMD will be launching the Navi GPU very soon. The performance of the card will be somewhere around the Vega 56 depending on the clock rate, but much cheaper.
HWiNFO is a handy utility that offers detailed information about all of a system’s components. Obviously, it has to be constantly updated in order to remain useful and relevant – the adding of “preliminary support of AMD Navi” is a typical example. The latest version HWiNFO v6.04 also adds preliminary support for Intel Emmitsburg, but unlike the already famous Navi, not much is known about this mysterious hardware.
