AMD has officially published the Polaris architecture site describing the upcoming architecture as the "best of PC gaming in a single chip."

Although the new Polaris architecture microsite does not reveal any new information other than what we heard before officially from AMD, it does include a few pictures that might reveal a bit more than AMD originally wanted, but we get to that a bit later.

The site outlines some of the key features of the upcoming AMD Polaris architecture including the fact that this is these will be first chips made on 14nm FinFET manufacturing process and be based on AMD's 4th generation Graphics Core Next architecture with Async Compute, DirectX 12 and Vulkan support. It will also be FreeSync and HJDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.3 compatible and provide "VR for the masses."

There are plenty of other features including the ability to stream and record 4K, H.265, 60 FPS with little impact on CPU usage, support GPU Open effects like TressFX Hair, GeometrFX, ShadowFX, AOFX, SSAA, Forward+ and others as well as support for AMD XConnect Thunderbolt 3 eGFX technology.

As we noted earlier, the pictures published on the microsite reveal a bit more information than AMD originally intended, as according to a report from Videocardz.com, these two show both the Polaris 11 Baffin GPU, meant for notebooks as well as the Polaris 10 Ellesmere GPU, the next-gen mid-range desktop GPU.

With Computex 2016 just around the corner, we will surely hear more information about AMD's Polaris architecture and the upcoming GPUs and graphics cards based on it so we should not wait too long.
