We determine the unitary dual of the geometric graded Hecke algebras with unequal parameters which appear in Lusztig's classification of unipotent representations for exceptional p-adic groups. The largest such algebra is of type F 4 . Via the Barbasch-Moy correspondence of unitarity applied to this setting, this is equivalent to the identification of the corresponding unitary unipotent representations with real central character of the p-adic groups. In order for this correspondence to be
