    A recent update to AMD’s GPUOpen driver code on GitHub, spotted by @Kepler_L2 on X, indicates that RDNA 4 is designated as “dGPU only.” This effectively confirms previous rumours that RDNA 4 will not be featured in future iGPUs for the upcoming Zen 6 Medusa Halo or Medusa Point APUs. Instead, it looks like those future Ryzen APUs will rely on RDNA 3.5, as indicated by our previous coverage. In spite of this reliance on what will then be decidedly last-gen hardware, the Medusa Halo iGPU is rumoured to bring an up to 50% performance boost over the Strix Point 8060S iGPU in the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, which has already been an impressively powerful iGPU.

    I would have thought that Zen 6 iGPU SKUs would be based on AMD’s rumoured UDNA architecture (that is supposed to be used for consumer GPUs and enterprise GPUs), I guess it won’t be ready in time for Zen 6.
