AMD Radeon 700M “RDNA 3” iGPU Driver For Phoenix APUs To Release By End of July

wccftech.com:

AMD's Radeon 700M iGPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture and featured within Phoenix APUs will get the first official drivers later this month.

The AMD Ryzen 7040 "Phoenix" APUs were announced in January 2023 at CES but arrived in the mainstream market in June after months of delay. The APU lineup is featured in a vast array of devices such as laptops, Mini PCs, and handhelds. They are really solid chips with lots of CPU & GPU power on a single yet efficient package and while there's huge demand, AMD is still lacking when it comes to the driver front.

Now that the first AMD Phoenix APU-powered laptops are rolling out, AMD failed to deliver the processor's official graphics drivers. It's already been a month since we last reported our story on how the Radeon 700M "RDNA 3" iGPU drivers were missing and users are yet to receive any official support. However, the mini-PC manufacturer, Beelink, has disclosed that AMD will release drivers for the APU by the end of this month so as early as next week.

The manufacturer states that AMD had initially planned to release the drivers by 20th July but it got delayed again due to software compatibility issues. AMD has reportedly resolved the issues and is set to release the drivers by the end of this month. Following is the full statement by Beelink:

AMD originally planned to release a new driver on the 20th of this month to solve it. Now AMD has notified that the new driver is expected to be released until the end of July. I believe AMD will definitely solve the driver and software compatibility problem, and it will take a little more time. At that time, the new driver will be released in time at zero moment for everyone to download and install.
