AMD is Making Crypto Mining GPUs to Tackle The Global Chip Shortage

AMD is on its way to follow Nvidia’s footsteps and may release its own lineup of crypto-mining graphics cards based on the RDNA GPU architecture. Much like Nvidia’s motive, AMD is also reportedly doing so to address the global shortage of chip supply.

This isn’t the first time that AMD has targeted the crypto mining market as an AMD Navi 10 GPU was spotted in Linux Kernel patches in October last year. These cards lacked essential technologies for gaming and had no display output capabilities.

Now, another AMD GPU based on the RDNA architecture has been spotted on the Linux Kernel patches and it appears to be made on the Navi 12 SKU. The Kernel patch from March 3 also mentions that this graphics card lacks gaming capabilities.

Additionally, Michael Larabel, editor at Phoronix had said that AMD is soon going to announce Bitcoin Crypto Mining GPUs based on the RDNA architecture. He said that there is a lack of details available on this mysterious GPU, but it could be similar to the previously reported on Navi 10 “Blockchain” graphics card.

However, even if AMD does not release its own line of mining cards, we can expect them to limit the harsh rate on its existing or upcoming GPU to tackle the crypto mining market. Regardless, all of this is based on speculation and we would recommend taking it with a grain of salt until there is more information on AMD’s upcoming releases.
