Good to see dual cores being less and less prevalent.

A 4c4t Zen 2 CPU would probably be pretty decent performance... hmm

So it's a rebranded 3100 with a GPU, but what about the GPU component? At that price level it's going to have to be so anemic it will likely have issues with most any game, even casual games, so it's going to be targeted at office use, but at that price point how would it stack up against an Adder Lake competitor?

No hyperthreading, so not a 3100. The GPU would also take away some cache.

That price is probably not what this CPU would ever MSRP for if AMD were to sell it retail.

The 5600g and 5700g before their retail release could also be found on sites like AliExpress but sold for FAR more than the prices they launched at when they were sold for retail.

So it is safe to assume the list price for this CPU is higher than what you would expect to pay if this or something similar were to become a retail product.

I wonder what process node they'd be manufactured under. It would be clever if they used an older node (or the current one, which will be phased out eventually)
