Hardware leaker Gotou_3rd reports that AMD's upcoming Siren Halo APU will feature dedicated GDDR7 VRAM alongside LPDDR system memory. This successor to Medusa Halo follows a September 2026 Linux driver patch that added GDDR7 support to the AMD GPU driver.
The leak suggests Siren Halo may be linked to the Magnus chip for Microsoft's Project Helix console. While Microsoft confirmed a custom AMD SoC for the hardware, memory specs remain undisclosed. Siren Point is also expected as a refresh of the Medusa line.
This shift follows the Ryzen AI Max+ 495, which supports 192GB of unified memory for $7,000. Integrating GDDR7 marks a significant evolution from Medusa Halo's rumored Zen 6 and RDNA 5 architecture, potentially boosting performance for next-gen gaming consoles.
