AMD Says FSR 4 Is Coming to Handhelds and Laptops by the End of 2026
AMD says lighter FSR 4 models will reach more devices as it broadens support beyond desktop graphics cards.
- AMD Senior VP Jack Huynh confirmed that official FSR 4 support will expand to APUs, gaming laptops, and handheld gaming PCs by the end of 2026.
- Originally designed for RDNA 4, FSR 4 uses machine learning to upscale games; in June, AMD released a lightweight version for RDNA 3-based RX 7000 series GPUs, swapping FP8 computation for INT8.
- Leaked Ryzen Z3 and Z3 Extreme SoCs, which tipster Kepler_L2 calls "RDNA 3.5+," feature 12 GPU Compute Units, four Zen 6 CPU cores, and two low-power Zen 5 cores in 25mm x 25mm packages.
- Handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally X are set to receive capability upgrades, though RDNA 2 hardware will likely wait until next year for FSR 4.
- Shipping data points to a chip codenamed "Gainsborough" that reportedly uses the "RDNA 4m" architecture, fueling speculation it could be the Steam Deck 2 SoC, though confirmation remains pending.
