Does the PS5 really not have a dedicated graphics chip?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Pretty much every CPU these days has a dedicated GPU, integrated GPUs and APUs just have them on the Same die. So it's technically correct to say they don't have a "dedicated graphics chip" but it's also a bit misleading to say that, implying that they don't have or need a GPU at all.

They kinda do, but they put the dedicated chip into the same die as the CPU so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. Same as the Strix Point APUs and the M series Apple stuff and the Steam Deck and the Switch and a whole bunch of other things.

It's kinda weird that people are beign shocked by this only now. I guess the long tradition of laptop iGPUs sucking has led to some weird assumptions.
