AMD Ryzen 500 Series APUs may include an RDNA 4m GPU with FSR 4.0 support

amd has launched the new generation of laptop processors Ryzen AI 400 Seriesa renewed series that does not add a new generation of RDNA graphics, remaining in the 3.5 like the Ryzen AI Maxalthough with fewer cores. But it seems that AMD is working on new integrated graphics for the next generation of processors AMD Medusawhich will also include a RDNA 4m GPU. A GPU with RDNA 4 features, although not all.

GFX1170: clues in the Linux driver on RDNA 4m

This information comes from driver for linux where a new name has been added for a future GPU GFX1170. This new GPU is associated with the family GFX11 which belongs to RDNA 3, but which adds instructions present in the most recent RDNA 4at least in some of its functions. Latest changes add support for instructions WMMA and SWMMAC for this GFX1170, separating these from GFX11 and GFX12.

Medusa Point and Halo: Zen 6 and FSR 4 support

All this is expected for the series AMD Ryzen 500also called Medusa Point and Medusa Halo. A series that will arrive with the cores Zen 6 along with integrated graphics that seem to mix various architectures. The Medusa Point APUs will integrate a GPU with architecture RDNA 3.5 or RDNA 4mwhile the Medusa Halo will have RDNA 5 or UDNA.

The next generation of APUsalthough it maintains RDNA 3.5, it will add compatibility with FSR 4which is currently only compatible with RDNA 4. A position that can add greater performance for games with the next generation of APUs, by adding its latest version of scaling technology that will increase FPS in games.
