During the Computex 2022 keynote speech, amd not only grandly announced the new generation of Raptor 7000 series desktop processor + socket Am5 (LGA 1718) platform chipset based on Zen 4 architecture, but also introduced the "smart access storage" technology** As a member of the company's smart technology suite, we have previously learned about "smart access memory" and smartshift technology that intelligently adjusts the CPU / GPU power consumption of the game book.
As the name suggests, SAS is committed to improving the storage access experience of the system. In the earlier disclosure, we speculated that it was implemented based on Microsoft's directstorage API.
During today's keynote speech at the Taipei Computer Show, amd officials confirmed this speculation and added that with this technology, GPU can greatly improve the decompression efficiency of related resources (improve texture flow efficiency / reduce game loading waiting time).
The following is AMD's detailed explanation of smartaccess storage technology:
● this technology can reduce the time spent by players sitting in front of the screen waiting for the game to load.
● traditional operation requires a lot of CPU computing power to decompress and transmit game data, resulting in high delay and occupying a lot of system resources.
● to help bypass this bottleneck, AMD is determined to create a set of SAS technology supporting Microsoft directstorage.
Finally, with the help of Sam smart access memory, new amd platform technology and radeon GPU, we can efficiently accelerate the decompression of game resources, and then improve the comprehensive experience of game loading time and texture flow.
