Makes little sense to suddenly switch to chiplets for mobile, so probably AMD is continuing on the -G APUs as essentially socketed and higher clocked mobile parts with more space to dedicate to an actually interesting iGPU.Īnd it sounds like chiplets aren't going away, so unless there are radical improvements in off-die IF latency, current Vega 8 (and future APUs) still has the advantage of being monolithic. Perhaps the new arch, process and DDR5 can enable similar or slightly better performance than Vega 8 at better efficiency (not that it's currently a problem, even heavily OC'd 7nm Vega 8 sips power) and die size.

Otherwise, it makes very little sense to shove a larger iGPU in there that just reduces yields and most 'performance' SKU buyers will never care about for gaming.

A cut down, acceptable iGPU with up-to-date arch and features so you can always use it in a pinch (or for a second monitor like on Intel for years) but relatively small so as not to occupy too much die space. I'm thinking the same, similar to what Intel is doing for Rocket Lake, Tiger Lake H45, and LGA1700 Alder Lake. AMD relies on a discrete USB4 controller with PCI-Express 4.0 x4 wiring, for its first Socket AM5 platform. By the time 'Raphael' is out (2022-23), it is expected that USB4 type-C would gain popularity, and mainstream motherboards as well as pre-built desktops could ship with USB4 with DisplayPort 2.0 passthrough. The RDNA2-based iGPU will come with a more advanced DCN (Display CoreNext) component than current RDNA2-based discrete GPUs, with some SKUs even featuring DisplayPort 2.0 support, besides HDMI 2.1. This would be the first time AMD updated the SIMD architecture of its Ryzen iGPUs since 2017. With its 5 nm 'Raphael' Socket AM5 desktop processor, AMD is planning to change this, in a bid to match up to Intel on the universality of integrated graphics.īuilt in the 5 nm silicon fabrication process, the 'Raphael' silicon combines 'Zen 4' CPU cores along with an iGPU based on the RDNA2 graphics architecture. These SKUs almost always come with compromises in CPU performance or PCIe I/O. Currently, most of the Socket AM4 desktop processor lineup lacks integrated graphics, and specialized 'G' SKUs with integrated graphics dot it.

The first desktop processors to implement AMD's 'Zen 4' microarchitecture will feature integrated graphics as standard across the lineup, according to a Chips and Cheese report citing leaked AMD design documents.
