AMD: No Definitive Decision on FSR 4.1 Support for RDNA 3.5 APUs

A report from Hardware Luxx suggested that AMD does not currently plan to bring its upcoming FSR 4.1 upscaling technology to RDNA 3.5-based integrated graphics. If accurate this would leave Ryzen AI 300 and Ryzen AI 400 series APUs without support for the latest iteration of FSR. Back in May AMD previously confirmed that FSR 4.1 which utilizes INT8 processing, will arrive for discrete RDNA 3 (Radeon RX 7000) GPUs in July, while RDNA 2 (Radeon RX 6000) desktop graphics are scheduled to receive support by early 2027. This exclusion affects silicon families that are using the RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture. More precisely Strix Point, Strix Halo, Krackan Point and upcoming refreshes like Gorgon Point and Gorgon Halo. These APU configurations integrate high-performance iGPUs such as the Radeon 890M and the top-tier Radeon 8060S, both capable of running the required INT8 operations.

However, AMD’s Frank Azor has since pushed back on reports that RDNA 3.5 has been ruled out. Responding on X, Azor stated that “no such decision as being reported and implied here has been made,” while adding that AMD is not ready to discuss future product plans at this time. While this does not confirm FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3.5 graphics, it suggests that AMD has not made a final decision regarding the architecture’s inclusion in the technology roadmap.
