AMD’s next-gen Medusa APUs are getting ready for launch, and Linux just spilled the beans
AMD has published RDNA 4m firmware for Linux ahead of its Ryzen AI 500 “Medusa Point” launch, revealing more about its next-gen Zen 6 APUs.
AMD's next-generation Ryzen AI 500 "Medusa Point" APUs are getting closer to launch as Linux has just revealed the firmware needed for its upcoming RDNA 4m integrated graphics. The new firmware targets AMD's GFX 11.7 graphics IP, which sits between the existing RDNA 3.5 architecture and the full-blown RDNA 4. AMD's desktop RDNA 4 GPUs use the newer GFX 12 family, while RDNA 4m remains part of the GFX 11 branch.
The "m" is widely believed to stand for mobile, with RDNA 4m seemingly designed specifically for APUs. The new firmware supports GFX 11.7.0 and 11.7.1, along with security, display, and memory-management components, suggesting AMD is getting much of the software stack ready for the new chips.
