Yea see the the article I linked says that meteor lake is lacking in XMX and may be lacking XESS as a result, so I’m assuming that they just keep pouring R&D money at igpu sector and implementing the new builds so they can stay competitive.

Nobody is using it but they are using at the desktop level, but they are furthering the platform to be used in the handheld sector.

Also yea, commercial applications of APU’s. No need to for a discrete gpu to have a manageable workstation.

They’re planning to enter the handheld space with meteor lake. Gen to gen improvements with focus on igpu keep them relevant. Can’t fall behind in any space.

ROG Ally is a Z1 extreme AMD apu. Intel is making a meteor lake APU.
