AMD has just revealed that it’s working on a system that uses AI to reduce the size of game downloads in the future. The technology is called Neural Texture Block Compression, and AMD says it plans to present it at the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR) in London at the start of July 2024.
Much like Nvidia, AMD is making a big deal about AI at the moment, with AMD AI even being the new brand name for its laptop gaming CPUs. However, it still has a lot of catching up to do with Nvidia on this front. Its current GPUs, such as the Radeon RX 7800 XT, for example, may be among the best graphics cards for gaming, but their AI matrix cores are still largely going unused in games right now.
