AMD has rebranded its most advanced graphics technology—previously known as FidelityFX Super Resolution—to simply "FSR." This change was noted in AMD's official product page, which states that FSR stands for "formerly AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution." However, AMD has not made any formal announcements regarding this rebranding. All of this is happening ahead of the official FSR "Redstone" product demo scheduled for December 10, which will include technical details about FSR Redstone, as well as games that will implement it.

This sudden and unusual change in product naming by AMD is likely intended to make the shorter acronym resonate better with the gaming audience. It's similar to AMD's own name, which some might not realize stands for Advanced Micro Devices. As a reminder, on December 10, we expect to see AMD's latest FRS "Redstone" platform, which builds on the AI and machine learning super resolution introduced with FSR 4 and introduces three key innovations. The first is neural radiance caching, followed by AI and ML-based Ray Regeneration, and AI and ML-based Frame Generation. Neural Radiance Caching uses a machine learning model that continuously learns how light interacts within a scene to predict and store indirect lighting, reducing the performance cost of ray tracing.
