AMD wants to change the integrated GPU for an NPU in its next Ryzen 10000 processors with Zen 6 cores

The Ryzen 10000 with Zen 6 could change the iGPU for an NPU

AMD has recently decided to add to its desktop processors, a Basic GPU to get screen output and some simple tasks. An idea that materialized with the AMD Ryzen 9000 Seriesbut that already came from the previous ones Ryzen 7000 Series which included a small GPU. But perhaps AMD wants to give more prominence to these upcoming processors with cores Zen 6 to the Artificial intelligenceadding a NPU in the space that would occupy the iGPU and finally dispensing with the latter.

AMD bets on local AI on the desktop with a dedicated NPU

This comes because usually on desktop computers, except Mini PCs and similar, we find them with a dedicated graphics which leaves the integrated one in the background. AMD has thought that this space of the GPU can be used with a NPU to improve the capabilities of Artificial intelligence locally and without having to resort to third-party online solutions.

The new Ryzen could bring the Copilot+ PC certification to the desktop

An option that can grant certification of Copilot+ PC also on desktop computers, if the Integrated NPU reaches enough power to obtain this seal of Microsoft. On the other hand, it would also be ideal for more options to be launched that take advantage of the NPU of these processors, since currently the options are very limited and not at all standardized.

In the thread he also reminds us that these upcoming processors will have compatibility with DDR5 CUDIMM modules. AMD is also trying bring memory speeds closer to Intel’sfor which it has improved the capabilities for these next generation processors.
