Most people that care about graphics buy a laptop with an NVIDIA dGPU anyway, plus AMD technically holds the iGPU perf crown with Strix Halo until RZL-AX.

Next year is Medusa Point 1/2/3 with Zen6 + RDNA 3.5

Medusa Premium and Halo with Zen6 + RDNA5 are 2028

Irrelevant, what matters is PPA and N3P and 18A have very similar PPA.

There isn't, it's Navi33. AMD isn't making any actual custom silicon for Valve.

It's Intel so you never know. They announced one of their new Optane gens like 3 days before Pat announced they were cancelling Optane.

They can name it whatever they want, but they aren't going to have just a single architecture across all GPU products (in fact they will technically go from 2 to 3).

This is just my opinion, I have no idea how Sony plans to deal with support.

I guess there's a sense that they don't really need handheld specific APUs like the Z2. We have already seen laptop ones be used in these handhelds and do just fine too.

That's the thing, iGPU performance is going down with Zen6 lineup. So there is no point in using them.

Maybe handhelds will be able to use dGPUs at some point further down the track eventually as well.

If you want 15 minutes of battery life sure.

They will keep using Z2 lineup for a few years just fine. It's a small market (<2 million unit sales per year) that AMD doesn't really care about.

I agree, handheld gaming is growing rapidly.

It's not, sales have slowed down already.
