AMD Mero APU with RDNA 2 GPU will reportedly be powering the new Magic Leap ‘Demophon’ Augmented Reality Headset

@ program, who is wearing a Magic Leap Demophon Augmented Reality headset, discovered the APU. It has an Android 10 operating system with a resolution of 720 x 920 pixels (for one eye). AMD Mero is sometimes said to as a Van Gogh-inspired silicon replica that ended up in the Valve Steam Deck mobile gaming device.

Both are low-power quad-core Zen2-based APUs with integrated RDNA2 graphics. Mero rumors first surfaced in 2019, and it was discovered that it shared Device ID and root complex with Van Gogh in most situations.

However, Mero and Van Gogh are not identical chips, according to Locuza, who is best renowned for his die-shot research. Van Gogh, he claims, has additional IP blocks activated, such as Computer Vision hardware and more PCIe lanes.

The APU was put to the test using the BaseMark GPU test on Android 10 with OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan APIs. It is quicker than AMD Renoir APU (Ryzen 4000 with Vega GPU) in BaseMark PowerBoard, but only because it was operating at a custom resolution of 720×920.

AMD has yet to publicly acknowledge the Mero APU. Only its Steam Deck brother, Van Gogh or Aerith, has been implemented. The Magic Leap device revealed in the BaseMark database is most likely a prototype that isn’t currently for sale.
