Which means that if you wish to use RDNA 4, it&#8217;s a must to use an RX-9000 graphics card. APUs stay restricted to RDNA 3.5, which not solely deprives them of latest options resembling FSR 4, but in addition caps their efficiency potential for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_no_RDNA_4_in_APUs\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Why no RDNA 4 in APUs?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The straightforward reply: AMD merely has no purpose to aggressively develop the built-in graphics additional. RDNA 3.5 is highly effective sufficient, as Strix Halo has already confirmed. So why waste assets on an structure if the actual technological leap will solely include UDNA? The main target is clearly elsewhere. AMD appears much less involved with difficult Apple or Intel by way of iGPU efficiency, preferring as a substitute to arrange for the large change to UDNA, with which they need to take purpose at NVIDIA\u2019s CUDA technique.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_276822\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-276822\" style=\"width: 821px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-276822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igorslab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-19-203352.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"821\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.igorslab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-19-203352.png 821w, https:\/\/www.igorslab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-19-203352-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/www.igorslab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-19-203352-768x580.png 768w, https:\/\/www.igorslab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-19-203352-74x55.png 74w, https:\/\/www.igorslab.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-19-203352-111x83.png 111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-276822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supply: Kepler_L2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Penalties_for_customers_Every_thing_stays_the_identical\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Penalties for customers: Every thing stays the identical<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Anybody hoping for a ground-breaking iGPU with the Medusa Level APUs shall be upset.
