Although memory bandwidth is still a limiting factor, I still hope those improvements at the integrated gpu ship over to their desktop counterpart. AMD seems to get at it already.
(Yes Yes, I know I know. But I am still dreaming to fit a system capable to play at least a few games into a mini itx case without needing to add a dgpu. One can dream, eh? :)
- kohlerm 2y agoWhat is the memory bandwidth? I could not find any numbers ..
- SunlitCat 2y agoSorry, I worded my comment not correctly! I meant in general like in for gaming uses, integrated gpus are limited by the memory bandwidth of the DDR memory bus compared to the high bandwidth memory on dgpus.
- eigenspace 2y agoIt’s sounding like AMDs high-end mobile processors will probably do what you want mid-to-late next year. Look up “Strix Halo” (not Strix Point, that’s this year). They’re reportedly going for a 256 bit memory interface, and a way bigger GPU than what’s normal for integrated graphics.
- SunlitCat 2y agoThat's something I am really looking forward to. I mean, AMD (together with Intel!) was already there, with their KabyLake-G lineup. Intel processor and AMD Vega (although it was Polaris Arch, I think) Graphics together along with 4 GB of HBM 2 graphics memory. Or all those custom APUs, AMD is doing since quite some time, like way back in 2018 for that Chinese computer / game console thingy (Subor Z+). Or for the new wave of handheld game consoles. And last but not least for the Playstation / XBox. That packaged onto a Mini-ITX mainboard along with 32 or 64 GB of RAM would be quite nice.
