Computer experts found a new AMD graphics chip design called GFX1250 hidden inside computer code. The chip uses CDNA technology that AMD builds for powerful computers. Tech watchers expected AMD to create UDNA technology that mixes RDNA and CDNA parts together. The company wants to compete against NVIDIA's popular CUDA system that many programmers use.
AMD gives different numbers to each graphics chip family they make for easy identification. RDNA 3 chips start with GFX1100 numbers and RDNA 4 begins at GFX1200.

The GFX1250 might power MI400...
