AMD plans to use RDNA 3.x graphics for its Medusa Point mobile APU instead of the RDNA 4 version many expected. The processor might include as many as 16 compute units, likely set up as eight workgroup processors to power the integrated graphics. This setup matches what AMD already uses in current mobile designs. The company applies a version of RDNA 3.x, sometimes called RDNA 3.5, across product lines like Strix Point and Krackan Point.
Experts have closely followed the progress of AMD's next-gen mobile processors tied to the upcoming Zen 6 architecture. Early rumors pointed to an advanced RDNA 4 graphics solution for these new APUs. New information reveals AMD selected the proven RDNA 3.x branch instead. The company probably made this choice based on resource planning needs and to keep its mobile products consistent.
AMD has decided that only discrete graphics cards will feature RDNA 4 technology for the time being. This strategy shows a practical approach rather than rushing into new territory with untested designs. The company focuses on making sure its mobile APU lineup delivers solid performance without risking problems that might come with brand-new graphics architecture.
