UDNA isn't a name but instead a big shift in strategy.

CDNA was for HPC / Supercomputers and Data center. GCN always was a better architecture than RDNA for that.

RDNA itself was trying to be more NVidia like. Fewer FLOPs but better latency.

Someone is getting the axe. Only one of these architectures will win out in the long run, and the teams will also converge allowing AMD to consolidate engineers to improving the same architecture.

We won't know what the consolidated team will release yet. But it's a big organizational shift that surely will affect AMDs architectural decisions.
