If we ever have another GPU shortage as bad as the last one, these will be great for gaming. I am still waiting for normal ryzen 8000 leaks though. I predict that the normal ryzen 7 8600x will have a 5Ghz+ base clock.

I guess that AMD is going to wait for Intel to be the first ones to bring out an APU with on board HBM, because I still haven't seen a road map with it on there and Intel already has experience with the HBM equipped Xeons.

With the popularity of things like the steam deck and all the various portable gaming PCs, in concert with the popularity/interest in Nintendo Switch 1/2, I believe we'll see a lot more titles aiming for iGPU gaming at reasonable frame rates. So APUs like these could well grab a good portion of the gaming market at the lower end and portable gaming. Nvidia certainly hasn't been helping the space in the discrete market, side eyes 40 series GPUs with their price and performance increases or lack there of as you move down the stack. And AMD was equally as bad playing along with the launch prices.

Having options in the case of another GPU shortage sounds nice but I worry they will ultimately fall short. I do have the worry that even APUs will be targeted. Every time the gaming market thinks they have found a fix for issues like this, some company (or country) finds a new killer use/app that uses the 'new' parts and we are right back where we were. I could see where desperate AI start-ups grab APUs in another crunch scenario. I knew issues like this would become more and more problematic way back when governemts started using networked consoles as computers back in the PS2 (?, Iraq rumored to use them in clusters)/XB360/PS3 eras. Though I truly hope I am wrong....it would be nice if PC gamers had at least one 'safe' market they could depend on like the days before CUDA (in Nvidia's case)...

The Ryzen 5 8600G and 8500G look very interesting, especially paired with good DDR5 memory. These aren't so much for regular ATX gaming rigs but are amazing for HTPC or mini-ITX living room gaming PC's, the kind that closely resemble consoles. Something that we would stick into this kind of case that blends with whatever aesthetic we're going for in the living room.

As nice as "FULL RGB!!!!!" is in a PC room, it's ugly and distracting in a living / media room.

Doubtful, intel will not waste expensive hardware on cheap CPUs.
It might happen for a special project like the laptop CPU intel did with an AMD GPU, but only if there is a customer that will pre buy a good bunch of them.
