The Zen 7 Grimlock Halo APU is likely to feature a significant upgrade in its integrated graphics. According to MLID, the iGPU in the Zen 7 could match or even surpass the 48 Compute Units (CUs) of the Zen 6 Medusa Halo iGPU. While previous reports suggested that the Zen 6 Medusa Halo could include 48 CUs. The Grimlock Halo might push that number higher, with a potential peak of 64 CUs.

These enhancements suggest that the Zen 7 Grimlock Halo could deliver an impressive leap in performance, potentially offering 20 to 35% better performance than its predecessor. Although exact figures are not available yet. This increase could make the iGPU of the Grimlock Halo APU a serious contender against powerful desktop GPUs. Especially in terms of power efficiency and raw graphical performance.

RDNA 5 iGPU Could Outperform the RTX 5070 in Laptop Form Factor

One of the most exciting aspects of the Zen 7 Grimlock Halo APU is its potential to challenge desktop GPUs. Such as the RTX 5070, in terms of performance. MLID previously indicated that the RDNA 5 “AT3” desktop GPU could fall between the performance of the RTX 4070 and RX 9070. With the Zen 7 Grimlock Halo APU expected to offer 20-35% more performance than the Zen 6 Medusa Halo iGPU. The new iGPU might end up surpassing the RTX 5070’s desktop performance in certain applications.

To put this into perspective, the RTX 5070 is roughly 28% faster than the RTX 4070. By that logic, if the Zen 7 Grimlock Halo APU’s iGPU outperforms the Zen 6 Medusa Halo by 20 to 35%. It could potentially exceed the performance of the RTX 5070, a GPU aimed at mid-range desktop systems.

However, it’s important to note that these claims are based on early leaks and theoretical projections. As the final specifications of the Zen 7 Grimlock Halo iGPU are yet to be confirmed, these numbers should be taken with caution. Nonetheless, the possibility of a laptop APU outperforming a powerful desktop GPU is an exciting prospect, and it could shift how we view integrated graphics in the future.
