The new Radiance Core will see future AMD Radeon graphics cards processing ray traversal with dedicated hardware, improving path tracing.

AMD says it’s about to adopt a “brand-new rendering approach” when it comes to ray tracing, and specifically path tracing, in the latest games, thanks to a new dedicated hardware block in its next-gen AMD Radeon gaming GPU tech.

Path tracing is one area where the latest AMD GPUs still significantly lag behind Nvidia’s new Blackwell chips, as demonstrated in our recent Doom The Dark Ages path tracing test. However, AMD is clearly looking to close this gap with its new Radiance Core, which looks to move a key area of the ray tracing pipeline to a dedicated hardware block.
