And not coming to the global market?

Quote from: RDNA 4 iGPU on December 31, 2025, 12:48:07Estimated integrated mobile RDNA4 960M / 980M / 990M launch: January 23, 2026 (probably at the CES 2026) to April 23, 2026
Launch at CES 2026 is expected, but the rumor is that it's gonna be just a rename (with a maybe higher clock), like Phoenix to Hawk Point.

The question is: What made AMD use RDNA3 in integrated graphics and why would AMD not use RDNA4 in 2026?

RDNA 5 based on the desktop launches:
January 16, 2027 (using average) (CES 2027?)
May 27, 2027 (using pattern)
+ adding the 6 to 7 months from above
Medusa Halo: July 19 2027 to August 18, 2027

I really don't see AMD launching RDNA4 or RDNA5 igpus that early. Whenever AMD launch a new gfx architecture, it always comes to their dgpus first then it takes atleast a couple of years to later come to their consumer apus. I don't know the reason for this delay, other than they don't care to prioritise them more or they don't have the resources to do it any faster but that's always how it's been. That said, I expect PS5 to be one of the first to get RDNA5 and I guess you could call that an igpu/APU.

If RDNA4 was being announced this CES 2026 or in next 6 months I'm pretty sure we would have had heard leaks about it by now as that is pretty big news.

So far it seems the first rdna4 igpu won't be an x86 APU but Samsung's arm SoC, the Exynos 2600.

@256-bit vs 384-bit,

I must admit, have been very impressed by glm 4.7 when it comes to coding tasks. Every other free cloud LLM I tried that far couldn't really code. This thing actually can, provided you stick to simpler tasks and are specific about it. Anything more complex and it starts making mistakes. But that's why they're letting people use it for free I guess, they're trying to quickly improve it. Too bad it has massive memory requirements so I would never run it locally. Maybe in future we will have an llm of this caliber that can run on 32 GB with how fast things are progressing.

Can you comment on thermal runaway. If it is punctured does it ignite like LITHIUM?
