It really isn't just marketing...each compute unit is a real functional separation of the GPU. The technical details of this are obviously unimportant to most consumers, but it's highly important to anyone programming against them.
- dragontamer 5y agoWhich makes the "CU" kind of ironic, because CUs haven't been used since Vega / GCN. The new unit is "WGP", which are twice the size of a former CU. An RDNA 40-WGP will be sold as 80-CU. Presumably, AMD marketing felt that CUs stuck enough in the market that they should have a period where they sell WGPs but call them CUs on marketing material.
