About time AMD put Navi/RDNA1 graphics at least in with the Zen 3 cpu. Looks like Cezanne still using Vega graphics. Maybe next year then.
Will be interesting to see what doubling the L3 to 16MB makes. Still half of what normal single dies Zen3 have.
RDNA looks like next year. Wonder if the delay is having to adapt to work in an APU (and AMD have been really busy with tapeouts this year), or that is just physically bigger?
A senior engineer at AMD once said the APU business is tricky, you can put a bigger GPU in an APU with faster memory but due to cost incurred most partners have not been interested. Most simply prefer having a separate high performance GPU die because its very convenient.
Or since far too many consumers love spec feature lists, equip a laptop with a GeForce 920M where the dGPU is slower than the CPU's IGPU.
We enthusiasts may make fun of manufacturers and their sometimes meaningless higher numbers, but plenty of consumers seem to fall for it.
Most consumers (+90% of them out there don't know what Nvdia does for a living) will buy a laptop for its looks and the so called "latest 2021 laptop edition". To them the higher the price the faster but we all know those fancy stickers on laptops are nothing but a marketing stunt.
