![]() This currently uncommon memory type is said to deliver better bandwidth than many desktop-grade GPUs (on a per-TFLOP basis), married to power efficiency, particularly in lower-power scenarios. This segment was presented by Valve hardware engineer, Yazan AldehayyatĪldehayyat highlighted that the Steam Deck is one of the first devices to ship with LPDDR5. Interestingly, the APU is claimed to be two-thirds smaller than a typical laptop processor, too. Some other insights from Nussbaum were that the custom Aerith APU is the first to feature RDNA2 graphics – with its associated graphics technology support for DX12 Ultimate, with VRS, ray tracing, mesh shaders, and so on. Thus, the way the APU propels your game will be consistent – the same performance after two minutes or two hours of gameplay, whether plugged in or on battery, charging or not, downloading or not, and at a wide range of ambient temperatures. In his presentation, Nussbaum talked about how Aerith was designed in close co-operation with Valve and the desired characteristic was for sustained performance. Yes, that might be good for a thin-and-light or tablet PC too, but as a gaming-oriented device which requires sustained performance, rather than boosty/spiky/turbo performance, the Aerith will behave quite differently. ![]() To start with, the AMD Aerith APU has very low power consumption, between 4W and 15W. Nussbaum talked about how the custom APU is rather different to one that might be marketed for use in a desktop or laptop. Fellow, and Semi-Custom Business Unit lead, Sebastien Nussbaum.
