Runs 1080p low/medium on battery/silent mode (35w-45w)

A single CPU core can max out at 20+watts.
There are 16 such cores
Then 40 CU GPU
It appears that this APU can consume upto 450w if you have a way to feed it & cool it

At the same time it can scale down to 15w & go toe-to-toe with strix point in handhelds

Starting from 20+watts it pulls ahead of other APUs
10w-20w doesn't scale well properly tho in current design

This APU paired with 128gb RAM would be very much useful for AI workloads

I'm just waiting.. we are not far from AMD going the full SOC route. Especially for things like handhelds and laptops.

Once they have a solid SOC then their devices can get thinner, lighter, and faster. Throw in some enhanced cooling and we can have some AMD devices similar to a mac mini that trade blows with the current apple CPU, AND can be a gaming console as well.

But... investors are going to make sure that AMD pillages TF out of it's customer base and ends up ruining a great comeback story by becoming the evil they defeated.

Finally! We just need this out of a laptop and into a mini / small pc!

When I looked up the product page it did list this APU as mobile/desktop and I too instantly thought how cool it would be to have in some kind of desktop.
