That's the point, though. Apple are doing a pretty good job because they're using unified memory on the same chip. When AMD gets the same opportunity -- e.g.: PS4/PS5 and XBO/XSX APUs, Steam Deck APU, Z1 Extreme, etc. -- they get good results because they control the memory layout, capacity, and speeds. (And end up deploying VRAM as chip RAM, essentially)
- aurareturn 3y agoWhat exactly is “good results”?
- smileybarry 3y agoThe fact that the PS5 and Xbox Series X have a great GPU, despite being an APU, merely because they can package the RAM along with the chip and not rely on slot-in DDR5? Look up the benchmarks and compare to dGPUs.
- aurareturn 3y agoDedicated desktop GPUs are significantly more powerful than PS5 and XSX chips - even GPUs released in the same year. Nvidia’s Ampere series released in 2020. You might not see the huge difference in performance because games are optimized around consoles. But in terms of raw specs/tflops, dedicated GPUs are much more powerful. That said, PS5 and XSX take the cake in cost/perf. But that’s only because they are subsidized.
