==== Radeon within AMD ====
{{Main|Radeon}}
In 2007, the ATI division of AMD released the [[TeraScale (microarchitecture)|TeraScale microarchitecture]] implementing a [[unified shader model]]. This design replaced the previous fixed-function hardware of previous graphics cards with multipurpose, programmable shaders. Initially released as part of the GPU for the [[Xbox 360]], this technology would go on to be used in Radeon branded HD 2000 parts. Three generations of TeraScale would be designed and used in parts from 2007 to 2015.

==== Combined GPU and CPU divisions ====
In a 2009 restructuring, AMD merged the CPU and GPU divisions to support the company's APUs, which fused both graphics and general purpose processing.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Duncan |first=Geoff |date=May 7, 2009 |title=AMD RESTRUCTURES TO COMBINE GRAPHICS AND CHIP UNITS |publisher=Digital Trends |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-restructures-to-combine-graphics-and-chip-units/ |access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Musil |first=Steven |date=May 7, 2009 |title=AMD reorg merges microprocessor, graphics units |publisher=CNET |url=https://www.cnet.com/au/news/amd-reorg-merges-microprocessor-graphics-units/ |access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref> In 2011, AMD released the successor to TeraScale, [[Graphics Core Next]] (GCN).<ref>{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Ryan |date=December 21, 2011 |title=AMD's Graphics Core Next Preview |publisher=Anandtech |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/4455/amds-graphics-core-next-preview-amd-architects-for-compute |access-date=July 11, 2017}}</ref> This new microarchitecture emphasized [[GPGPU]] compute capability in addition to graphics processing, with a particular aim of supporting heterogeneous computing on AMD's APUs. GCN's [[reduced instruction set computer|reduced instruction set]] [[Instruction set architecture|ISA]] allowed for significantly increased compute capability over TeraScale's [[very long instruction word]] ISA. Since GCN's introduction with the [[Radeon HD 7000 series|HD 7970]], five generations of the GCN architecture have been produced from 2011 through at least 2018.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Ryan |date=December 22, 2011 |title=AMD Radeon HD 7970 Review |publisher=Anandtech |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/5261/amd-radeon-hd-7970-review |access-date=July 11, 2017}}</ref>


==== Radeon Technologies Group ====
In September 2015, AMD separated the graphics technology division of the company into an independent internal unit called the '''Radeon Technologies Group''' (RTG) headed by [[Raja Koduri]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Higginbotham |first=Stacey |date=September 9, 2015 |title=AMD splits out its graphics chips into the Radeon Technology Group |work=Fortune |url=http://fortune.com/2015/09/09/amd-graphics-chip-split/ |access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref> This gave the graphics division of AMD autonomy in product design and marketing.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Takahashi |first=Dean |date=September 14, 2016 |title=AMD celebrates a year of its revamped Radeon Technologies Group |work=VentureBeat |url=https://venturebeat.com/2016/09/14/amd-celebrates-a-year-of-its-revamped-radeon-technologies-group/ |access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Moorehead |first=Patrich |date=November 12, 2015 |title=Advanced Micro Devices's Head Of Radeon Technologies Group, Raja Koduri, Talks About Their Future |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/patrickmoorhead/2015/11/12/advanced-micro-devicess-head-of-radeon-technologies-group-raja-koduri-talks-about-the-future/ |magazine=Forbes |access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref> The RTG then went on to create and release the [[AMD Polaris|Polaris]] and [[Graphics Core Next#Vega|Vega]] microarchitectures released in 2016 and 2017, respectively.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Ryan |date=June 29, 2016 |title=The AMD Radeon RX 480 Preview |publisher=Anandtech |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/10446/the-amd-radeon-rx-480-preview |access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Ryan |date=January 5, 2017 |title=The AMD Vega GPU Architecture Preview |publisher=Anandtech |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/11002/the-amd-vega-gpu-architecture-teaser |access-date=July 10, 2017}}</ref> In particular the Vega, or fifth-generation [[Graphics Core Next|GCN]], microarchitecture includes a number of major revisions to improve performance and compute capabilities.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Ryan |date=January 5, 2017 |title=The AMD Vega GPU Architecture Preview |publisher=Anandtech |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/11002/the-amd-vega-gpu-architecture-teaser |access-date=July 11, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Smith |first1=Ryan |last2=Oh |first2=Nate |date=August 14, 2017 |title=The AMD RX Vega 64 & RX Vega 56 Review: Vega Burning Bright |publisher=Anandtech.com |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/11717/the-amd-radeon-rx-vega-64-and-56-review |access-date=August 16, 2017}}</ref>

In November 2017, Raja Koduri left RTG<ref name="Hexus Net">{{cite web |title=Exclusive: Raja Koduri, Radeon Technologies Boss, leaves AMD |url=https://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/111926-exclusive-raja-koduri-radeon-technologies-boss-leaves-amd/ |access-date=January 6, 2020 |website=hexus.net |date=November 7, 2017 |publisher=[[Hexus]]}}</ref> and CEO and President Lisa Su took his position.
