AMD has just announced that they will be hosting their "Capsaicin" live webcast at GDC to showcase the latest innovations from the Radeon Technology Group. AMD has been talking about spicing things up at GDC as Chris Hook who serves as the marketing director at AMD tweeted on his profile that they will preview some very hot and spicy new innovations at this year's GDC.

AMD Capsaicin Webcast Announced For GDC 2016 - Previewing Polaris, Fury X2 and Latest Software Improvements For Radeon Graphics Cards

The annual Games Developer Conference allows developers and companies to showcase their latest products and innovations for the gaming industry. Game developers focus their talks on how they handle development processes for their latest titles and how they optimize the games presentation for consoles and PCs alike. The GDC event has also provided a space to hardware companies to showcase how their own products help games and PC gaming advance in general. Not only do hardware companies use GDC to showcase their software side improvements but we have seen the event to become a great place for companies to launch new products.

Last year, AMD announced their latest LiquidVR software program for Radeon graphics cards. NVIDIA used the event to unveil their insanely fast (and expensive) GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card. This year, both graphics makers will be at it again, showcasing their latest products, in hardware and software form. AMD has revealed that they will be indeed by showcasing a lot of stuff at their exclusive live webcast titled as "Capsaicin". From the press release which you can read below, it definitely seems like AMD is up to something big, showcasing both hardware and software side advances. The company states that not only will the have some demos for GCN from industry veterans, but will also preview new silicon and software advancements.

New silicon looks like AMD is referring to Polaris since the last new silicon that was launched by AMD was their Fiji graphics card and that's just about a year old now (9 months to be exact). But that won't be it, AMD has both HTC and Oculus at their event too so this could mean AMD is going to launch their Fury X2 graphics card at GDC 2016 which was specifically delayed to align with the VR market. Knowing that both HTC and Oculus have announced their VR HMD (head mounted displays), now might be the best time for AMD to reveal their fastest dual-chip graphics card.

AMD has already been showcasing several VR-Ready gaming PCs which will be shipping to developers. A Fury X2 was reported to feature as much as 12 TFLOPs of compute performance (Single Precision). It might turn out as a very capable graphics card not only for gamers but developers too who need to create next generation VR experiences from currently available hardware.
