AMD’s chiplet strategy in laptops: balancing innovation and power efficiency. AMD says that chiplet design for mainstream mobile APUs is challenging due to power constraints. The chiplet approach has been instrumental in the success of the Ryzen CPU series. In the domain of laptops, AMD is still evaluating how to approach this idea. During a […]
They seem to have fixed it for some people with RDNA3. They claimed it was specifically optimizations that are sometimes monitor specific, but I and many people, always assumed it was because of chiplets.
I’ll be curious how RDNA4 will turn out, and if it’s chiplets or not. Bad power draw in laptops, is probably one reason we hardly see any RDNA3 laptops.
The 7900M being up to 200W is wild to me. Even the 7700S is higher power than my 6800S. I don’t know what happened in RDNA3’s development, but it feels like a testbed generation where ideas are good, but something went awry getting them into the physical world.
