AMD tipped to stick with RDNA 3.5 long term even after RDNA 5 iGPUs arrive

[Redaktion]

AMD introduced the RDNA 3.5 architecture with its Strix Point and Strix Halo lineup. The same iGPU architecture is powering the recently unveiled Gorgon Point series, and it will reportedly stay for a good while, existing alongside RDNA 5 until 2029.

Depends if mainstream devices (760M/860M and 780M/880M) are meant. Would be disappointing. But it would be a chance for Intel. As an end-consumer, I will evaluate and get what gives me the highest FPS per Watt per buck.

That will never be an RDNA3.5 based iGPU. It also sucks for ray-tracing and AI. The fact we are not getting RDNA4 based iGPU's is a sad indictment of a company thats only focus is datacentres now.

Ye, it's up to AMD, if they want people to switch to Intel again. We don't know the reason (but probably indeed silicon wafers for the most price is in datacenters and there is a hype now), but at least Intel Panther Lake's iGPU has improved massively (notebookchat.com/index.php?topic=295745.0), so one has the choice to switch, if Panther Lake's driver are also stable.
