AMD RDNA 3.5 “GFX 11.5” GPU Drivers Being Prepped, Will Support Ryzen 8000 CPUs & APUs
18.08.2023 - 08:23 / wccftech.com / Will
AMD is now actively working on Linux drivers for its next-gen RDNA 3.5 GPUs that will be featured within Ryzen 8000 CPUs & APUs in the coming year.
The folks over at the red team are already working on the first enablement patches for the RDNA 4 GPUs while simultaneously working on drivers for the next-gen RDNA 3.5 GPUs. The RDNA 3.5 GPU family has already been confirmed by AMD when they announced the Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" Desktop CPU for 2024.
Based on the report from Phoronix who discovered the first patches for the RDNA 3.5 GPU drivers, it is revealed that the GPU will be based on the "GFX 11.5" IP which builds on the RDNA 3 "GFX 11" IP. The patch itself is 45.6k lines worth of code but most of them remain the same as the older lines for GFX 11.
The RDNA 3.5 GPUs will be incorporated within two confirmed product lines which are the Ryzen 8000 APU family codenamed Strix Point and the aforementioned Ryzen 8000 CPU family. Now it is likely that a possible RDNA 3 refresh may utilize the RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture, fine-tuning the existing architecture for better performance but that's speculation territory. The GFX1150 and the GFX1151 SKUs have already been revealed for the Ryzen 8000 APU family and you can read more on those here.
The AMD Ryzen 8000 CPU and APU family is expected to launch sometime in 2024. The Ryzen 8000 APUs will be featuring the higher-end integrated SKUs with multiple RDNA 3.5 compute units while the desktop CPUs will be limited to just 2-4 CUs like the existing generation. We are bound to get a few bits and pieces of these next-gen families around CES 2024.

Intel's new Starfield GPU driver hotfix still has a host of problems
There was always going to be a certain amount of jank when Starfield launched. It is, after all PC gaming in 2023 and practically every big launch has to have more than its fair share of bugs, crashes, or GPU blowouts. But as a Bethesda game there was always going to be more to it than that. And, while it's certainly not bug-free on other graphics cards, it seems that Intel's Arc GPUs are suffering more than most.

AMD says Bethesda can add DLSS support to Starfield anytime it wants: 'They have our full support'
Starfield's partnership with AMD did not go over well with PC gamers. About 75% of Steam users have an Nvidia graphics card, and the expectation has been that Bethesda's deal with AMD will hold it back from including Nvidia-specific features in Starfield, particularly support for its DLSS upscaling tech, which can dramatically increase frame rates.
