I've heard rumors about AMD's upcoming APUs scheduled to come out late this year, stuff like that they will have dedicated VRAM so they're not crippled by the system RAM and reaching RX 460 levels of graphical performance. I've also heard that they may use Vega or Polaris graphics architectures.
Can anybody confirm these claims?
If I recall AMD's Kaveri APUs like the A10 7850K still outperform Intel's Kaby Lake's HD 630 iGPU, but I don't know if it beats Iris Pro graphics on stuff like the i7 5775C.
This means this next generation AMD iGPU could leave Intel in the dust and I'm a bit excited to see what happens because this can have an impact on some of the smallest form factors we can create for PCs. I can picture it now being able to create my own sort of barebone system with a 65-95W TDP APU on a mITX board with an M.2 drive and one of those low-profile Noctua coolers with the fan underneath the heatsink blowing hot air up and away from the system.
What I would want such a system for the same reasons I would want something like a NUC, but to be able to do light gaming such as Rocket League and Minecraft at 1080p which is something current iGPU I don't feel are quite well suited for.
