AMD Unveils RDNA 4m with GFX1171 and GFX1172: New GPU Targets for Medusa Point and Future APU Generations

Widely Covered

AMD has made significant strides in the development of its new RDNA 4m GPU architecture, now officially expanded with the addition of new target IDs, GFX1171 and GFX1172. These identifiers were introduced in an open LLVM pull request, signaling serious software preparation for upcoming hardware. The two new GPU cores are part of ISA version 11.7 and are marked as APU entries, distinguishing them from the main GFX12 line (RDNA 4). This indicates that the architecture is more than a marketing refresh—it represents a fundamental evolution for future processors. With support for FSR 4 (FSR Redstone), FP8/BF8, WMMA, and SWMMAC, the architecture underscores a major leap in integrated graphics performance and machine learning capabilities, particularly for AI and high-end gaming workloads.
