The integrated graphics chip powering AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 SoCs might be substantially faster than the one currently used for most handheld gaming PCs if GPD’s official.
In brief: For some time, curiosity has surrounded AMD’s upcoming Strix Point (Ryzen AI 300) APUs. Although the company expects to begin shipping the next-generation mobile processors as soon as next month, information on their performance has been scant so far. The first third-party vendor to publicly reveal performance projections for a Strix Point device is GPD, which seems quite optimistic.
The integrated graphics chip powering AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 SoCs might be substantially faster than the one currently used for most handheld gaming PCs if GPD’s official specs on its upcoming dual-screen laptop are anything to go by. The new APU lineup, also known as Strix Point, is expected to appear in a new generation of portable devices.
AMD unveiled the Ryzen AI 300 series at Computex earlier this month without saying much about its iGPUs – the Radeon 880M and 890M. They include 12 and 15 RDNA 3.5 compute units clocked at 2.9 GHz. For comparison, recent and upcoming handheld gaming PCs like the Asus ROG Ally, GPD Win 4, Zotac Zone, and XPG Nia, utilize their predecessor – the Ryzen 8040U series 780M – which includes 12 RDNA 3.
