Hi,

If you don't know how GPU caches work.
Just RTFM the RDNA 3.5 specs! They have
some explanations in the docs, what jobs

the GPU cache lines do, in relation to
what instructions:

Abbreviation for ‘Read The Fucking Manual’.
http://www.catb.org/esr/jargon/html/R/RTFM.html

Here some RDNA 4.0 specs (smaller GPUs):

"RDNA4" Instruction Set Architecture
Reference Guide - 7-April-2025
https://docs.amd.com/v/u/en-US/rdna4-instruction-set-architecture

Here some CDNA 4.0 specs (bigger GPUs):

CDNA4 Instruction Set Architecture
Reference Guide - 5-August-2025
https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/instinct-tech-docs/instruction-set-architectures/amd-instinct-cdna4-instruction-set-architecture.pdf

Bye

But the difference between CDNA GPUs and
RDNA GPUs seems not to be that big, at least
in 2025:

Commitment to High-Performance
Computing in the Age of AI
https://docs.amd.com/v/u/en-US/precision-at-scale-amd-whitepaper

While the Copilot+ threshold is 45 TFLOPs,
a MI355X, Datacenter, rack-mounted, liquid cooling,
has surely more memory, but only 157 TFLOPS.

And RTX 5090, Desktop, 600W+ TDP, massive cooling,
has also only 100 TFLOPS. So it looks these
Copilot+ AI Laptops are pretty swell, arent they?
