AMD promises that laptops will ‘soon’ get GPUs based on RDNA2 – Computer – News

That depends, AMD can indeed do little about demand, but it does seem that AMD has underestimated the demand enormously, so that AMD has used relatively little of its production capacity for GPUs. In itself also logical, after all, they are the products with the lowest margin in AMD’s product range (Except possibly the PS5 and Xbox SoCs, but they will have to supply contractual quantities for that, although it may well be due to the scarcity Sony and Microsoft also pay a lot more for the SoC, which means that AMD’s margins are also better than normal for Console SoCs), AMD can, for example, also get + – 7 Zen 2 or Zen 3 Chiplets from the space that a Navi 21 GPU occupies on a wafer, which together on average much more profitable for AMD than a single Navi 21 that.

Although the demand is high, AMD also seems to have clearly chosen to give Zen 2/3 and the console SoCs clear priority over the GPUs in terms of production in recent months. Something that makes perfect sense from AMD’s point of view, but it sticks to many consumers.
