Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports Team and AMD announce partnership

The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports Team has announced a new partnership with semiconductor company AMD. The new partnership will empower the Esports team with high level computing technologies and performance for competitive virtual racing. 

Through the partnership, AMD has equipped the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports Team with a combination of AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Graphics Cards, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Desktop Processors, powered by the 'Zen 3' core architecture, and Radeon Software to enable the highest framerates and ultra-low latency gameplay. 

Optimised for esports gaming, AMD hardware and software technologies such as AMD Radeon Anti-Lag will provide the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports Team drivers with ultra-fast click to response times, the smoothest driving experience, and a competitive edge for virtual racing.

AMD will also contribute gaming systems to a new Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports Training Facility, expected to be launched later in 2021.

This world-class esports training facility will be provided by AMD-powered gaming equipment to help esports athletes elevate their game to new levels and support the next generation of up and coming esports drivers.
