AMD already makes GPUs for tablet, desktops, laptops, and workstations. Next stop: the cloud.
AMD
AMD has had a few noteworthy successes in gaming lately. Sony's PlayStation 4 will be using both CPUs and GPUs from the company, and Microsoft's next-generation Xbox is widely expected to do the same. And now, the company has made several announcements at this year's Game Developers Conference that look to maintain that momentum.
AMD announced a couple of new desktop graphics cards, but far more interesting is their entry into a market that Nvidia has been pushing for a little over a year now: cloud gaming. AMD has announced three new "Radeon Sky" server graphics cards that are in many ways similar to the Nvidia Grid cards that its competitor announced late last year. Here's all we know about them, based on both AMD's GDC press conference and the Radeon Sky product pages.
The cards
There are three cards that will be available to start with: the Radeon Sky 900 is a dual-slot card with two GPUs running at 825MHz and 6GB of GDDR5 RAM on a 384-bit interface (each GPU can access 3GB of this RAM). This card includes 3584 of AMD's stream processors across its two GPUs, and consumes 300W of power under load.
