RDNA 3+ edges closer as AMD hints at refreshed GPU architecture in its Linux firmware

A stylised image of AMD's RDNA 3 GPU design for its Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards.

AMD has uploaded a set of new files to its Linux repository, something that it does regularly. What makes these special is the one specifically for graphics chips uses a codename that tallies with a previous update to its Linux compiler, all of which confirms that a refresh to the RDNA 3 architecture is nearing release.

The first recipients of the updated GPU architecture will almost certainly be the forthcoming Strix Point and Strix Halo laptop APUs. In the case of the latter, it's being claimed to be packing a graphics chip that's on par with a laptop RTX 4070, though that's mostly down to the number of shaders it has, rather than the updated architecture.
