Radeon Graphics is the successor to the Rage line. Three different families of microarchitectures can be roughly distinguished, the fixed-pipeline family and the unified shader model-families of TeraScale and Graphics Core Next. ATI/AMD have developed different technologies, such as TruForm, HyperMemory, HyperZ, XGP, Eyefinity for multi-monitor setups, PowerPlay for power-saving, CrossFire (for multi-GPU) or Hybrid Graphics. A range of SIP blocks is also to be found on certain models in the Radeon products line: Unified Video Decoder, Video Coding Engine and TrueAudio.
The brand was previously only known as "ATI Radeon" until August
2010, when it was renamed to increase AMD's brand awareness on a global
scale.[2]
Products up to and including the HD 5000 series are branded as ATI
Radeon, while the HD 6000 series and beyond use the new AMD Radeon
branding.[3]
On September 11, 2015, AMD's GPU business was split into a separate
unit known as Radeon Technologies Group, with Raja Koduri as Senior Vice
President and chief architect.[1][4]
