It will have the advantage over Intel’s Meteor Lake CPUs thanks to this approach.
There has never been a time when integrated graphics processing units (GPUs) were considered in the same manner as desktop GPUs. Because of their diminutive size and low performance, they have always appeared to be an afterthought for both businesses and customers. They are only utilised in situations where your graphics processing unit (GPU) fails or when you need to play light games like Candy Crush on slower personal computers. These integrated graphics processing units (iGPUs) from AMD and Intel are becoming significantly more competitive, and as a result, both firms have began treating them as if they were true GPUs by providing desktop functions. Uncertainty exists on whether or whether this will enable them to achieve performance comparable to that of desktop computers; yet, it is a step in the right direction.
AMD’s announcement of its frame-generation technology for its most recent RDNA 3 integrated graphics processing units (iGPUs) is the most recent salvo in this escalating conflict between AMD and Intel. The firm refers to it as Fluid Motion Frames, and in the past, it was only available for use on its desktop graphics processing units. Those graphics processing units (GPUs) included the most recent Radeon 7000 models as well as earlier 6000 series cards. It is now being made available for central processing units (CPUs) that come equipped with the most recent graphics that the company has developed, such as its 7000 and 8000 series APUs for desktop and mobile devices. Due to the fact that support for this feature is only presently available in a beta driver, rather than the official WHQL version, AMD is still evaluating it; therefore, only those who are bold and interested should apply for it.
Frame generation has been added to integrated graphics processing units (iGPUs), which opens up a new front in the competition between AMD and Intel for gaming supremacy. AMD’s top-of-the-line integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU), the Radeon 780M, is a competitor to the new Meteor Lake central processing units (CPUs) that are being introduced by the latter. There is, however, simply XeSS upscaling that Intel provides, and the company has not yet announced any form of frame-generation technology. AMD is going to have a significant advantage in this regard; however, it is not yet apparent how helpful it will be for those who possess desktop and laptop integrated processing units in the real world. The reason for this is that AMD solely suggests utilising its Fluid Motion Frames when the frame rate is already at sixty frames per second or above. This can be a challenging task for a GPU that is being integrated.
In spite of this, the introduction of frame generation to integrated graphics processing units (iGPUs) is a momentous occasion for the product category, as it signifies the beginning of their incursion into the realm of desktop GPUs. AMD presented its first desktop APUs featuring RDNA 3 graphics at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week. The company claims that this is a world-first. The Meteor Lake central processing units (CPUs) from Intel, which feature Arc graphics, are only available for mobile devices. Until the latter half of 2024, when the business debuts Arrow Lake, which will use some derivative of Arc Alchemist as its GPU tile, the company will not offer true firepower to its integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU) range.
