The older AMD GCN had 64-wide wavefront, but the newer AMD GPUs "RDNA" support both 64 and 32 wavefront, and this is configurable at runtime. It appears the narrower wavefronts are better suited for games in general.

Not sure what is the situation with "CDNA", which is the compute-oriented evolution of "GCN", i.e. whether CDNA is 64-wavefront only or dual like RNDA.
