AMD 4700s 8Core CPU [2021]

This link is better, but in German: Beim AMD 4700S handelt es sich um eine schnelle Zen 2-APU mit 16 GB GDDR6-RAM und deaktivierter iGPU - Notebookcheck.com News

"AMD might have just found a solution to what to do with broken XBOX Series chips."

It's not exactly first time either, there's "PC-version" of Durango(+) called A9-9820, available in Chuwi Aerobox

Digital Foundry put this APU on aboard through its paces.

IIRC this is also the chip going into the new Teslas for infotainment.

oh... sounds opportunity to get new GPU for real! XD

btw, i like this: https://www.amd.com/en/desktop-kits/amd-4700s
If it sells, building custom mainboard to overcome 'large iGPU' BW limitations would be a nice solution have cheaper gaming PCs.
(off topic ofc, GPU is disabled here.)

This is actually a salvaged Series X SoC.
In this particular case, I think any dGPU that is used for anything other than 2D and simple 3D is probably going to behave terribly.
AMD claims the PCIe slot only uses up to 4x PCIe 2.0. That's 1GB/s...

Yeah, and maybe the PCIe throttling is there to not violate non competition agreements with MS.

But if they made another APU with a larger GPU, they likely could reuse the mainboard design supporting GDDR6 with high BW for cost efficient gaming PCs.
So i hope it's some kind of test and AMD considers this idea...

Very odd as they don't list any GPU capabilities, not even a port for video.

 

[DmitryKo]

The onboard GPU is disabled (i.e. defective) - it's the primary reason why these game console APUs ended up soldered on a Mini-ITX motherboard for DYI market. You need to install a discrete video card in the onboard PCIe slot.

They use PS5 CPU inside an APU. This is part where GPU is not viable. CPU is 8 cores 16 threads at 3.2 Ghz and 8 GB of GDDR6 at 14 Gbps. Latency is much higher than DDR4. They use a 550 as a discrete GPu

[PSman1700]

Not all that great of a CPU if theres any truth to it. Is it the reduced clocks, cache or bandwith being the problem? Or all of it?

 

[Silent_Buddha]

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they were using defective SOCs from both XBS and PS5 for this.
