You know... The Z1 wouldn't be such a polarizing APU (to me at least) if it had all the CUs and just lose those 2 cores. I could even accept lower clocks to go with that, but keep all the CUs. Hell, make it a 4 core and keep all the CUs and I would still think it's a great APU for handhelds. And yes, this is an exclusive comment for handhelds. Ultra-portables in the form of laptops more often than not do not care about graphical prowess.

Regards.

Maybe in the future, they'll design chips exclusively for handhelds and mobile gaming devices. I think it is like that to make a jack-of-all-trades chip, because gaming handheld market is not big enough. But yes, I'd like that too.

I mean, in all honestly, their APUs are now exclusively made for mobile (handheld or not), so it kind of is already a thing, maybe?

The desktop APUs are more like higher TDP models of the mobile APUs and now that they've added a 2CU iGPU into their desktop models, I'd be willing to say they'll be trying to put less APUs on the desktop side now which are "high performance". Well, this is being extremely generous with the 5700G 😛
