AMD RTG celebrates its first anniversary

Radeon Technologies Group is 1 year old

A year ago, in September 2015, AMD has created Radeon Technologies Group (RTG), led by an industry-veteran, Raja Koduri, and today AMD takes a look back on what was RTG all about.

Celebrating its first anniversary, AMD's Chris Hook has taken a look back to what Radeon Technologies Group accomplishments, including a complete "revamp and revitalization" of the Radeon brand.

Just a month after the creating of the Radeon Technologies Group, Radeon Software Crimson Driver has been launched, marking a new path in AMD drivers support and we must say that it did good, transforming its drivers from a liability into an asset.

In December 2016, GPUOpen has been launched and RTG was also behind the launch of Radeon Pro Duo, a dual-GPU graphics card aimed at VR development.

In March 2016 RTG brought Vulkan driver and in June, it officially unveiled the new Polaris architecture.

July brought the new Radeon Pro SSG, the first professional graphics card solution with a 1TB SSG (Solid-State Graphics) on the board.

August was quite important too as AMD has reached a new milestone, with over 100 FreeSync-enabled monitors on the market.

There is still a lot of things ahead including the launch of the first high-end Vega architecture GPU, which is expected sometime in first-half of next year but we must say that Radeon Technologies Group has definitely did a lot for the Radeon brand, and the future is bright.
