Yesterday, AMD reported a massive theft of its GPU IP in the form of source code which had been stolen and posted by the hacker over at Github & has also been posted to other sites that include TorrentFreak & 4Chan. The hacker who goes by the name of Palesa (not sure if that's even his/her real name), reported to TorrentFreak that the information is worth at least $100 million since the source code includes information for AMD's current & next-generation GPUs including Navi 21, 10 and Adren (Xbox Series X).
Although the information hasn't been posted yet, the source code is very critical for AMD as it not only contains information for current-generation GPUs such as the RDNA 1 based Navi 10 GPU but also its next-generation GPUs, the RDNA 2 based Navi 21 and the Adren SOC for Microsoft's Xbox Series X. Not only would this breach result in a negative impact on the competitiveness of AMD's GPU products but also damage the security aspects of a product which would be housed in more than a million devices in the coming years.
