New AMD Patent Describes Potential Chiplet-Based GPU Design
The big difference is that all the rendering would be handled by chiplets instead of a big compute chip like on its existing GPUs.

AMD was ahead of the rest of the industry in using chiplets instead of bulky monolithic dies in its CPU designs. That forward-looking approach also allowed it to build the industry's first chiplet-based GPUs with the Radeon RX 7000 series. That may not have gone as well as the company liked as it couldn't topple Nvidia's RTX 4090, but it apparently hasn't stopped the company from considering a chiplet-based GPU future. According to a new patent, the company is exploring new ways to use even more chiplets in a possible future GPU design.
