According to a tweet from Greymon55a very knowledgeable leaker on AMD’s future plans, the new range of APU Ryzen 7000 code name “Phoenix“would have a Integrated GPU as powerful as a mobile GeForce RTX 3060 on NVIDIA.
The Phoenix range, as revealed by AMD a few days ago, is expected in 2023 and will especially address the ultrabook, that is, laptops that are much thinner and lighter than traditional laptops aimed at gaming. Nonetheless, it appears that AMD is preparing to push the graphics performance bar higher thanks to an integrated GPU based on the new architecture RDNA 3.
Phoenix GPU≈3060m 60W

For Phoenix APUs, AMD provides for operation within a power range between 35 and 45 W, values valid for the entire chip and not just for the graphics. Greymon55, however, claims that the integrated GPU would be able to compete with the GeForce RTX 3060Ma dedicated GPU from 60W and that through Dynamic Boost gets an additional 20W.
In short, AMD would have planned a marked improvement in the performance of integrated graphics, even if at the moment it is impossible to understand how much truth there is in the statements of Greymon55.
This indiscretion should therefore be recorded in “future memory”: if it were to be confirmed in fact, GPU manufacturers could become less and less necessary to create dedicated entry-level solutions for both notebooks and desktop PCs.
