AMD's Big Navi and Xbox Series X GPU 'Arden' Source Code Stolen and Leaked

Mobius 1 · Mar 25, 2020

AMD posted a press release to its website today announcing that it had found stolen graphics IP posted online, followed quickly by news from Torrentfreakthat the information pertains to source code for Big Navi and Arden GPUs. Torrentfreak claims to have contacted the hacker responsible, who claims the information is worth $100 million and is seeking bidders.

More at the source.

Patch me if old.

Source code to what? Drivers?

Maybe more data that describes the physical layout of the transistors? HDL data?

AMD's competitive advantage in drivers gets eroded once Nvidia figures out AMD's secret. ;)

Like any codebase in the world, absolutely useless if it's not your own.

So what does this mean exactly?

Kittens McMittens · Mar 25, 2020

I'm assuming this is some kind of hardware description language source code used for making the actual GPUs? In which case it would be totally useless. The only place you can fab it would be at Global Foundries, and they aren't going to print pirate AMD GPUs for you.

AMD is really in deep need of enforcing some new security policies in place.

GameCube code pasted 8 times

Seems like it really wouldn't be all that helpful unless it leads to people hacking the new consoles. Even if the microcode was leaked, what could people do with it? Mostly good for making clones in China?

Can this make emulator for XSX easier to program or this has nothing to do with it?

Even if you could, what would be the point of a Series X emulator?

Why....why would you emulate a Series X when all the games are available on PC? Lol

Who in their right mind would buy this? Seems like it'd be easy to tack.
