There is a sort of competition between the companies, for example the most famous is AMD against Intel, companies indeed in the creation of processors so the computer’s “heart”. AMD produces also powerful video cards against the NVIDIA video cards, another company leader of visual computing. This year the announcements were many, for example AMD has presented the new video card “Radeon VII” that manages to get to the performance of an “NVIDIA RTX 2080” one the most powerful video card in the world but with a lower price. Instead the NVIDIA company presents the “RTX 2060”, a great video card endowed of Pascal Architecture.
