'''Radeon''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|r|eɪ|d|i|ɒ|n}}) is a brand of computer products, including [[List of AMD graphics processing units|graphics processing units]], [[random-access memory]], [[RAM disk]] software, and solid-state drives, produced by Radeon Technologies Group, a division of [[AMD]].<ref name=pcw-radeongroup>{{cite web|title=AMD creates graphics-focused Radeon Technologies Group, taps Raja Koduri for GPU czar|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/2981813/components-graphics/amd-creates-graphics-focused-radeon-technologies-group-taps-raja-koduri-for-gpu-czar.html|website=PC World|access-date=11 September 2015|archive-date=11 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150911193145/http://www.pcworld.com/article/2981813/components-graphics/amd-creates-graphics-focused-radeon-technologies-group-taps-raja-koduri-for-gpu-czar.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The brand was launched in 2000 by [[ATI Technologies]], which was acquired by AMD in 2006 for US$5.4&nbsp;billion.

== Radeon Graphics ==
Radeon Graphics is the successor to the [[ATI Rage|Rage]] line. Four different families of [[microarchitecture]]s can be roughly distinguished, the [[pipeline (computing)|fixed-pipeline]] family, the [[unified shader model]]-families of [[TeraScale (microarchitecture)|TeraScale]], [[Graphics Core Next]], and [[RDNA (microarchitecture)|RDNA]]. ATI/AMD have developed different technologies, such as [[TruForm]], [[HyperMemory]], [[HyperZ]], [[AMD XGP|XGP]], [[AMD Eyefinity|Eyefinity]] for [[multi-monitor]] setups, [[AMD PowerPlay|PowerPlay]] for power-saving, [[AMD CrossFireX|CrossFire]] (for multi-GPU) or [[AMD Hybrid Graphics|Hybrid Graphics]]. A range of [[Semiconductor intellectual property core|SIP blocks]] is also to be found on certain models in the Radeon products line: [[Unified Video Decoder]], [[Video Coding Engine]] and [[AMD TrueAudio|TrueAudio]].

The brand was previously only known as "ATI Radeon" until August 2010, when it was renamed to increase AMD's brand awareness on a global scale.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arnnet.com.au/article/358774/ati_re-branded_amd/ |title=ATI to be re-branded as AMD |publisher=Arnnet.com.au |date=30 August 2010 |access-date=30 December 2012 |archive-date=21 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421011006/http://www.arnnet.com.au/article/358774/ati_re-branded_amd/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Products up to and including the HD 5000 series are branded as ATI Radeon, while the HD 6000 series and beyond use the new AMD Radeon branding.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display/20100830143128_AMD_Officially_Drops_ATI_Brand_from_FirePro_and_Radeon_Marking.html |title=AMD Officially Drops ATI Brand from FirePro and Radeon Marking |publisher=Xbitlabs.com |date=30 August 2010 |access-date=30 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110920194510/http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/other/display/20100830143128_AMD_Officially_Drops_ATI_Brand_from_FirePro_and_Radeon_Marking.html |archive-date=20 September 2011 }}</ref>

On 11 September 2015, AMD's GPU business was split into a separate unit known as Radeon Technologies Group, with [[Raja Koduri]] as Senior Vice President and chief architect.<ref name=pcw-radeongroup/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amd.com/en-us/who-we-are/corporate-information/leadership/raja-koduri |title=Executive Biography - Raja Koduri |access-date=10 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170918193802/http://www.amd.com/en-us/who-we-are/corporate-information/leadership/raja-koduri |archive-date=2017-09-18 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Radeon graphics card brands ===
AMD does not distribute Radeon cards directly to consumers (though some exceptions can be found).<ref>[https://www.amd.com/en/shop/us/Graphics%20Cards?f%5B0%5D=manufacturer%3AAMD 3 AAMD] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210112211156/https://www.amd.com/en/shop/us/Graphics%20Cards?f%5B0%5D=manufacturer%3AAMD |date=12 January 2021 }}</ref> Instead, it sells Radeon GPUs to third-party manufacturers, who build and sell the Radeon-based video cards to the OEM and retail channels. Manufacturers of the Radeon cards—some of whom also make motherboards—include [[ASRock]], [[Asus]], [[Biostar]], [[Club 3D]], [[Diamond Multimedia|Diamond]], [[Force3D]], [[Gainward]], [[Gigabyte Technology|Gigabyte]], [[Hightech Information System|HIS]], [[PowerColor]], [[Sapphire Technology|Sapphire]], [[VisionTek]], and [[XFX]].

Early generations were identified with a number and major/minor alphabetic prefix. Later generations were assigned code names. New or heavily redesigned architectures have a prefix of ''R'' (e.g., ''[[R300]]'' or ''[[Radeon R600|R600]]'') while slight modifications are indicated by the ''RV'' prefix (e.g., ''RV370'' or ''RV635'').

The first derivative architecture, ''RV200'', did not follow the scheme used by later parts.

=== Fixed-pipeline family ===

==== R100/RV200 ====
{{Main|Radeon R100 series}}

The Radeon, first introduced in 2000, was ATI's first graphics processor to be fully [[DirectX 7]] compliant. [[Radeon R100|R100]] brought with it large gains in bandwidth and fill-rate efficiency through the new [[HyperZ]] technology.

The RV200 was a die-shrink of the former R100 with some core logic tweaks for clockspeed, introduced in 2002. The only release in this generation was the Radeon 7500, which introduced little in the way of new features but offered substantial performance improvements over its predecessors.

==== R200 ====
{{Main|Radeon R200 series}}

ATI's [[R200|second generation Radeon]] included a [[shader|sophisticated pixel shader]] architecture. This chipset implemented Microsoft's pixel shader 1.4 specification for the first time.

Its performance relative to competitors was widely perceived as weak, and subsequent revisions of this generation were cancelled to focus on development of the next generation.

====R300/R350====
{{Main|Radeon R300 series}}
The R300 was the first [[GPU]] to fully support Microsoft's DirectX 9.0 technology upon its release in 2001. It incorporated fully programmable pixel and vertex shaders.

About a year later, the architecture was revised to allow for higher frequencies, more efficient memory access, and several other improvements in the R350 family. A budget line of RV350 products was based on this refreshed design with some elements disabled or removed.

Models using the new [[PCI Express]] interface were introduced in 2004. Using 110-nm and 130-nm manufacturing technologies under the X300 and X600 names, respectively, the RV370 and RV380 graphics processors were used extensively by consumer PC manufacturers.

====R420====
While heavily based upon the previous generation, this line included extensions to the Shader Model 2 feature-set. Shader Model 2b, the specification ATI and Microsoft defined with this generation, offered somewhat more shader program flexibility.

====R520====
ATI's DirectX 9.0c series of graphics cards, with complete [[shader]] Model 3.0 support. Launched in October 2005, this series brought a number of enhancements including the floating point render target technology necessary for [[high-dynamic-range rendering|HDR rendering]] with [[spatial anti-aliasing|anti-aliasing]].

=== TeraScale-family ===
{{Main|TeraScale (microarchitecture)}}

==== R600 ====
{{Main|Radeon HD 2000 series|Radeon HD 3000 series}}
ATI's first series of GPUs to replace the old fixed-pipeline and implement [[unified shader model]]. Subsequent revisions tuned the design for higher performance and energy efficiency, resulting in the ATI Mobility Radeon HD series for mobile computers.

==== R700 ====
{{Main|Radeon HD 4000 series}}
Based on the R600 architecture. Mostly a bolstered with many more stream processors, with improvements to power consumption and GDDR5 support for the high-end RV770 and RV740(HD4770) chips. It arrived in late June 2008. The HD 4850 and HD 4870 have 800 stream processors and GDDR3 and GDDR5 memory, respectively. The 4890 was a refresh of 4870 with the same amount of stream processors yet higher clock rates due to refinements. The 4870x2 has 1600 stream processors and GDDR5 memory on an effective 512-bit memory bus with 230.4&nbsp;Gbit/s video memory bandwidth available.

==== Evergreen ====
{{Main|Radeon HD 5000 series}}
The series was launched on 23 September 2009. It featured a 40&nbsp;nm fabrication process for the entire product line (only the HD4770 (RV740) was built on this process previously), with more stream cores and compatibility with the next major version of the DirectX API, [[DirectX 11]], which launched on 22 October 2009 along with [[Microsoft]] [[Windows 7]]. The Rxxx/RVxxx codename scheme was scrapped entirely. The initial launch consisted of only the 5870 and 5850 models. ATI released beta drivers that introduced full OpenGL 4.0 support on all variants of this series in March 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://developer.amd.com/2010/03/25/ready-willing-and-able-%E2%80%93-amd-supports-opengl-3-3-and-opengl-4-0/ |title=Ready, Willing and Able – AMD Supports OpenGL 3.3 and OpenGL 4.0 &#124; AMD Developer Central Blogs |publisher=Blogs.amd.com |date=25 March 2010 |access-date=7 May 2010 }} {{dead link|date=April 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

==== Northern Islands ====
{{Main|Radeon HD 6000 series}}
[[File:AMD Graphics Radeon Graphics Logo 2011.png|right|thumb|Radeon logo from 2011 to 2013]]
This is the first series to be marketed solely under the "AMD" brand. It features a 3rd generation 40&nbsp;nm design, rebalancing the existing architecture with redesigned shaders to give it better performance. It was released first on 22 October 2010, in the form of the 6850 and 6870. 3D output is enabled with HDMI 1.4a and [[DisplayPort]] 1.2 outputs.

==== Southern Islands ====
{{Main|Radeon HD 7000 series}}
"Southern Islands" was the first series to feature the new compute microarchitecture known as "Graphics Core Next"(GCN). [[Graphics Core Next#Graphics Core Next "GCN 1.0" (Southern Islands, HD 7000/Rx 200 series)|GCN]] was used among the higher end cards, while the VLIW5 architecture utilized in the previous generation was used in the lower end, OEM products. However, the ''Radeon HD 7790'' uses [[Graphics Core Next#GCN 2nd Generation "GCN 1.1" (Sea Islands, HD 7790 and Rx 290/260 Series)|GCN 2]], and was the first product in the series to be released by AMD on 9 January 2012.

==== Sea Islands ====
{{Main|Radeon HD 8000 series}}
The "Sea Islands" were OEM rebadges of the 7000 series, with only three products, code named Oland, available for general retail. The series, just like the "Southern Islands", used a mixture of VLIW5 models and GCN models for its desktop products.

==== Volcanic Islands ====
{{Main|Radeon 200 series}}
"Volcanic Islands" GPUs were introduced with the AMD Radeon RX 200 series, and were first released in late 2013.<ref name="softpedia: RX 200 series release">{{cite web | url=http://news.softpedia.com/news/Launch-Date-Revealed-for-AMD-Radeon-R9-290X-Hawaii-Graphics-Card-387099.shtml | title=Launch Date Revealed for AMD Radeon R9 290X Hawaii Graphics Card | publisher=Softpedia | date=30 September 2013 | access-date=4 October 2013 | author=Pop, Sebastian | archive-date=2 February 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202082006/https://news.softpedia.com/news/Launch-Date-Revealed-for-AMD-Radeon-R9-290X-Hawaii-Graphics-Card-387099.shtml | url-status=live }}</ref> The Radeon RX 200 line is mainly based on AMD's GCN architecture, with the lower end, OEM cards still using VLIW5.

===API overview===
{{Further|ROCm|GPUOpen}}
Some generations vary from their predecessors predominantly due to architectural improvements, while others were adapted primarily to new manufacturing processes with fewer functional changes. The table below summarizes the APIs supported in each Radeon generation (including pre-Radeon ATI GPUs). Also see [[AMD FireStream]] and [[AMD FirePro]] branded products.

{{Main|AMD Radeon Software}}

On 24 November 2015, AMD released a new version of their graphics driver following the formation of the Radeon Technologies Group (RTG) to provide extensive software support for their graphics cards. This driver, labelled Radeon Software Crimson Edition, overhauls the UI with [[Qt (software)|Qt]], resulting in better responsiveness from a design and system perspective. It includes a new interface featuring a game manager, clocking tools, and sections for different technologies.<ref name="community.amd.com">[https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2015/11/24/introducing-radeon-software-crimson-edition Introducing Radeon Software Crimson Edition] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160507093935/https://community.amd.com/community/gaming/blog/2015/11/24/introducing-radeon-software-crimson-edition |date=7 May 2016 }}</ref>

Unofficial modifications such as [[Omega drivers]] and [[DNA drivers]] were available. These drivers typically consist of mixtures of various driver file versions with some [[windows registry|registry]] variables altered and are advertised as offering superior performance or image quality. They are, of course, unsupported, and as such, are not guaranteed to function correctly. Some of them also provide modified system files for hardware enthusiasts to run specific graphics cards outside of their specifications.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}}

Radeon Software is being developed for [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[Linux]]. {{As of|January 2019}}, other operating systems are not officially supported. This may be different for the [[Radeon Pro]] brand, which is based on identical hardware but features OpenGL-certified graphics device drivers.

ATI previously offered driver updates for their retail and integrated Macintosh video cards and chipsets. ATI stopped support for [[Mac OS 9]] after the Radeon R200 cards, making the last officially supported card the Radeon 9250. The Radeon R100 cards up to the Radeon 7200 can still be used with even older [[classic Mac OS]] versions such as [[System 7]], although not all features are taken advantage of by the older operating system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://main.system7today.com/articles/videocards.html |title=System 7 Today – High Power 3D Video Cards |publisher=Main.system7today.com |access-date=7 May 2010 |archive-date=14 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100514133122/http://main.system7today.com/articles/videocards.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Ever since ATI's acquisition by AMD, ATI no longer supplies or supports drivers for classic Mac OS nor [[macOS]]. macOS drivers can be downloaded from Apple's support website, while classic Mac OS drivers can be obtained from 3rd party websites that host the older drivers for users to download. ATI used to provide a preference panel for use in macOS called ATI Displays which can be used both with retail and OEM versions of its cards. Though it gives more control over advanced features of the graphics chipset, ATI Displays has limited functionality compared to Catalyst for Windows or Linux.

=== Third-party free and open-source "Radeon" ===
{{Main|free and open-source graphics device driver#ATI/AMD|l1=free and open-source "radeon" graphics device driver}}The free and open-source for [[Direct Rendering Infrastructure]] has been under constant development by the Linux kernel developers, by 3rd party programming enthusiasts and by AMD employees. It is composed out of five parts:

# Linux kernel component [[Direct Rendering Manager|DRM]]
#* this part received dynamic re-clocking support in Linux kernel version 3.12 and its performance has become comparable to that of AMD Catalyst
# Linux kernel component [[KMS driver]]: basically the device driver for the [[display controller]]

# OpenCL with GalliumCompute (previous Clover) is not full developed in 1.0, 1.1 and only parts of 1.2. Some OpenCL conformance tests were failed in 1.0 and 1.1, most in 1.2. ROCm is developed by AMD and Open Source. OpenCL 1.2 is full supported with OpenCL 2.0 language. Only CPU or GCN-Hardware with PCIe 3.0 is supported. So GCN 3rd Gen. or higher is here full usable for OpenCL 1.2 software.

==== Supported features ====
The free and open-source driver supports many of the features available in Radeon-branded cards and APUs, such as [[multi-monitor]] or hybrid graphics.

==== Linux ====
The free and open-source drivers are primarily developed on Linux and for Linux.

==== Other operating systems ====
Being entirely free and open-source software, the free and open-source drivers can be ported to any existing operating system. Whether they have been, and to what extent depends entirely on the man-power available. Available support shall be referenced here.

[[FreeBSD]] adopted DRI, and since Mesa 3D is not programmed for Linux, it should have identical support.{{citation needed|date=July 2014}}

==== Driver vulnerabilities ====

Current drivers are affected by LeftoverLocals <ref name="LeftoverLocals">[https://leftoverlocals.com]</ref> vulnerability referenced as GPU Memory Leaks by AMD.<ref name="SB 6010">[https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-6010.html]</ref> This was supposed to be fixed at 2024 Q1 but it has been postponed several times and the current plan for desktop CPUs containing Radeon GPU and GPUs mitigation is set for 2025 Q2 leaving customers exposed to it for more than year. Other vendors facing this vulnerability such as Qualcom fixed this issue within a month.

==Embedded GPU products==
AMD (and its predecessor ATI) have released a series of embedded GPUs targeted toward medical, entertainment, and display devices.
