AMD and Intel Integrated Graphics Roadmap Leaked
The leaked roadmap reveals what will happen to AMD and Intel integrated graphics technologies during the upcoming years. The leaked roadmap reveals upcoming integrated GPU (iGPU) designs which Intel and AMD will use to implement their long-term strategy for AMD RDNA 3.5 technology. The architectural design will remain in use until 2029 according to rumors which claim it will coexist with the upcoming premium RDNA 5 architecture.
AMD has created a dual iGPU strategy according to information which Weibo leaker Golden Pig Upgrade and other tipsters shared from their post. The RDNA 3.5 architecture powers Strix Point Strix Halo and Gorgon Point products which currently serve as the new standard for all devices needing basic integrated graphics capabilities. The category includes office laptops and gaming systems which already have a powerful dedicated GPU.
The mainstream RDNA 3.5 iGPU will work together with an upcoming "premium" architecture which people believe will be RDNA 5. The "Medusa" lineup will contain this high-performance iGPU which is not expected to be released until 2027. The primary iGPU solution for AMD will be RDNA 3.5 which they plan to use for several upcoming years.
Roadmap Information
The roadmap image provides a visual timeline for both companies' iGPU evolution:
AMD Timeline
- The period from 2021 to 2023 demonstrates how Vega 7nm evolved into RDNA 2 and subsequently into RDNA 3.
- The block dedicated to RDNA 3.5 shows its extended lifespan through the upcoming years which will last until 2028 and beyond.
Intel Timeline
- The period from 2021 to 2024 marks the transition between Xe-LP and Xe-LPG.
- The period from 2024 to 2025 will introduce the Xe-LPG+ and Xe2 architecture systems.
- The timeline shows that Xe3 and Xe3P will be released between 2026 and 2027.
- The roadmap shows a future Xe architecture which will come after 2028 and includes a section named NVIDIA Integrated.
AMD plans to change its integrated graphics deployment strategy throughout its product range according to the information which comes from leaks and rumors. The strategy uses mature and efficient architecture for mainstream markets which will run for an extended time period while the company builds next-generation performance for its premium products.
