This fall, AMD is releasing a new generation of graphics cards (Radeon RX 7000) and Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” desktop processors with Zen 4 cores. However, this architecture should also be adopted quite quickly by Ryzen 7000 “Phoenix” APU processors for laptops. Little was known about these, but information on them has also started to leak: the Linux driver code has revealed the architecture of the integrated GPU.<\/p>\n
Support for the new RDNA 3 architecture now seems to be making its way into the open source code that handles AMD hardware in Linux kernel, GPU drivers and other components. This architecture is internally referred to as GFX11, and individual implementations of it (there are slight differences between various GPUs in a series) are then referred to as “gfx110x” in the code. And now the code has added basic support for the first hardware with these identifiers.<\/p>\n
These are three discrete GPUs that apparently correspond to the upcoming Navi 31, Navi 32 and Navi 33<\/a> chips (or in some cases chiplet GPUs). However, there is a fourth item in the code that is said to be an APU, i.e. integrated graphics.<\/p>\n This list indicates that AMD is preparing an APU or in other words Ryzen processor for laptops (and eventually maybe desktop) that will have the RDNA 3 iGPU architecture. It is labelled GFX1104. According to the leakers who spotted this, this processor is likely to be the mobile Ryzen 7000 “Phoenix”.<\/p>\n And now fully confirmed, Phoenix is RDNA3! \ud83e\udd73 pic.twitter.com\/F528X6qsEI<\/a><\/p>\n — Kepler (@Kepler_L2) April 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
