Tesla's revamped Model S and X will feature RDNA 2 GPUs, AMD confirms

Tesla's refreshed Model S and X will run AMD's RDNA 2 graphics.

When Tesla announced its refreshed Model S and Model X in January, it wasn't shy about saying that its new infotainment systems will offer up to 10 teraflops of power. At the time, rumors speculated that AMD would be providing Tesla's new graphics hardware. That makes sense, since the company's RDNA 2 GPUs are also behind the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Today during its Computex keynote, AMD CEO Lisa Su confirmed those rumors while also noting that the new Teslas will feature AMD APUs (Ryzen chips with built-in Radeon graphics) in their infotainment systems.

Good for everyone that would make use of this feature I guess, but when I think about my car I don't think about wanting to spend even more time in it than I already have to (specifically referencing them talking about AAA gaming on a car infotainment)...

If the next GTA can be played in a Tesla with steering wheel controls for the driving sections, this will all be worth it.

Probably money, though a more serious answer is that self-driving tech and AI is becoming really big these days and AMD had been left behind by Nvidia so my guess on this tie up is they're playing catchup

Tesla Motors and NVIDIA have partnered since the early development of the revolutionary Model S. Today, all Tesla vehicles—Model S, Model X, and the upcoming Model 3—will be equipped with an NVIDIA-powered on-board "supercomputer" that can provide full self-driving capability.

The computer delivers more than 40 times the processing power of the previous system, running an Tesla-developed neural net for vision, sonar, and radar processing.

This in-vehicle supercomputer is powered by the NVIDIA DRIVE™ PX AI computing platform. It's an end-to-end AI computing system that uses groundbreaking approaches in deep learning to perceive and understand the car's surroundings.

In addition, NVIDIA powers the awarding-winning infotainment systems and digital instrument clusters in every Model S and Model X.
