I would love to see how the APU performs in gaming.

I would love to see how the APU performs in gaming.

It's CDNA, which lacks all of the graphics-specific hardware engines that are needed for standard raster graphics acceleration. Not to say you couldn't do all your rastering and texturing in software, but AMD won't publish drivers for doing that.

Also, these have no display engine, so you'd either need to stream the graphics to a client PC, or you'd need to add a conventional graphics card for viewing on a monitor.

More interestingly, I can't wait for the comparison between a solution based on AMD MI300(A/X) vs. INTEL Sapphire Rapids + Accelerator (see Intel Claims Sapphire Rapids up to 7X Faster Than AMD EPYC Genoa in AI and Other Workloads https://www.tomshardware.com/news/i...than-amd-epyc-genoa-in-ai-and-other-workloads)

Mmm... INTEL claims.

We have to wait a few more months for all the parts to become available for independent reviewers and testers.

IMHO, it's going to be a trench war between NVIDIA and AMD, with INTEL playing catch up for a few more years.

Plus the cost of these data center thingies that will send a gamer crying into Mama's arms.
