AMD's Next-Gen Laptop Chips May Be Stuck with Last-Gen GPU
AMD's upcoming Medusa Point series of laptop chips are reportedly set to stick with an RDNA 3-based GPU, despite their desktop counterparts receiving an upgraded RDNA 5 iGPU. The decision may limit the performance and features of these laptops compared to their desktop counterparts. This could be a significant drawback for gamers and content creators who rely on high-performance GPUs in their devices.
- The reluctance to upgrade laptop GPUs from last-gen to latest-gen technology may signal a growing trend of prioritizing cost-effectiveness over performance, potentially impacting consumer expectations for mobile hardware.
- Will AMD's decision to restrict Medusa Point laptops to an older GPU architecture affect the company's ability to compete with Nvidia and Intel in the high-end gaming segment?
