This is similar to the Apple GPU trick where unified memory means it's easier to load large models into GPU space, but as others have said, the AMD APU built into these chips is _really_ underpowered, even compared to other RDNA APUs like the one in the Steam Deck
- MindSpunk 3y agoMinor nitpick but the 4600G and 5600G mentioned in the article are Vega, not RDNA. The iGPUs in those two processors are/were quite powerful by iGPU standards at the time, especially considering they were competing with Intel HD graphics or very early Iris Xe iGPUs. Not a scratch on a good dedicated GPU though. Steam Deck is RDNA2 though, and is significantly faster. I don't think RDNA1 ever made it into an APU.
