AMD will bring FSR 4 to handhelds by the end of 2026

AMD will bring FSR 4 to handhelds by the end of 2026.

AMD 将在 2026 年底前将 FSR 4 技术引入掌机设备。

It’s already possible to get AMD’s framerate-enhancing FSR 4 boost on handhelds as old as the Steam Deck — but in June, AMD reserved the right to disappoint handheld gamers by not officially bringing FSR 4 to older handhelds. Now, AMD consumer chip boss Jack Huynh says he will bring the tech to some handhelds by the end of the year.

目前，在 Steam Deck 等老款掌机上已经可以体验到 AMD 提升帧率的 FSR 4 技术，但 AMD 在六月份时曾保留了不向旧款掌机正式提供 FSR 4 的权利，这令掌机玩家感到失望。不过现在，AMD 消费级芯片业务负责人 Jack Huynh 表示，他将在今年年底前将该技术引入部分掌机。

Which handhelds? It’s still not clear if it will come to existing handhelds, or if you’ll need a new one to get it — because it comes alongside news that AMD is releasing a new FSR4-capable chip.

具体是哪些掌机呢？目前尚不清楚该技术是会适配现有掌机，还是需要购买新设备才能获得，因为这一消息伴随着 AMD 即将发布支持 FSR 4 的新芯片的消息一同传出。

“We will expand the machine learning AI-based FSR4 technology, which was first introduced to existing external graphics cards, to the entire product line including APUs, gaming laptops, and handheld devices by the end of this year,” Huynh told Korean publication The Elec (via Google Translate). “We plan to respond in two directions: launching existing APUs and new product lines.”

Huynh 在接受韩国媒体 The Elec 采访时表示（通过谷歌翻译）：“我们将在今年年底前，将最初引入现有外置显卡的基于机器学习 AI 的 FSR 4 技术，扩展到包括 APU、游戏笔记本电脑和掌机设备在内的整个产品线。我们计划通过两个方向来应对：推出现有 APU 的支持以及发布新的产品线。”

The Elec says that means both a new APU, and a lightweight FSR4 model for APUs, are coming by year’s end. (Previously, AMD had only promised FSR4 for desktop graphics cards, not APUs bound for laptops and handhelds.) But The Elec doesn’t seem to say if that lightweight FSR4 model is coming to handhelds specifically. Perhaps it’ll require AMD’s leaked upcoming Ryzen Z3 and/or “Gainsborough” handheld chips.

The Elec 称，这意味着一款新的 APU 以及针对 APU 的轻量级 FSR 4 模型都将在年底前推出。（此前，AMD 仅承诺将 FSR 4 用于桌面显卡，而非用于笔记本电脑和掌机的 APU。）但 The Elec 似乎并未明确说明该轻量级 FSR 4 模型是否会专门适配掌机。或许它需要 AMD 即将推出的 Ryzen Z3 和/或“Gainsborough”掌机芯片才能运行。

Back when AMD threw a little cold water on the idea of FSR 4 for existing handhelds, exec David McAfee told Tom’s Guide that “we want to make sure the experience and the quality is right” and that AMD would need “a sufficient amount of compute within that product” for FSR 4 to make sense. Perhaps some older laptop chips will qualify, while some older handheld chips don’t.

早些时候，当 AMD 对在现有掌机上实现 FSR 4 的想法泼冷水时，高管 David McAfee 曾告诉 Tom’s Guide：“我们希望确保体验和质量达标”，并且 AMD 需要“产品内部具备足够的算力”，FSR 4 才有意义。或许一些较旧的笔记本芯片符合条件，而一些较旧的掌机芯片则不然。

Valve has said it is working with AMD to bring FSR 4 to the Steam Machine’s console-grade AMD APU, but it hasn’t yet committed to the same for the Steam Deck handhelds.

Valve 表示正在与 AMD 合作，将 FSR 4 引入 Steam Machine 的主机级 AMD APU，但尚未承诺为 Steam Deck 掌机提供同样的支持。

AMD didn’t immediately respond to a request to clarify Huynh’s statement.

AMD 未能立即回应澄清 Huynh 言论的请求。
