Anyone else looking forward to these APU's?

I don't really care about discrete GPU's in the current rip off climate and have embraced the APU since 2200G days. It is going to be great to see the performance of the new Ryzen-Radeon 8050S and 8060S with fast DDR5.

Initial leaks look like these could be as fast as a low end card like a Radeon 7600, which is way more than I need, I do wonder what the cost will be and if the CPU performance will be similar to the 8700F etc.
 
Yep, these would be perfect to my sister's girls,(they have my old 1700x/vega56 combo at the moment) when somebody releases these in atx/itx form with bigger power budjet.
 
just hoping we'll see more than a few 13" devices using this APU.

particularly, i'm interested in the 1ccd (8x core) plus 32core GPU variant running at lower TDP's.

AMDs APUs can't be priced competitively with their other parts as they still prefer to sell discrete parts, so APUs are overpriced unfortunately, unless you are Sony or some other console manufacturer then you get extremely good prices that's far under retail pricing

I don't think they will be wildly expensive, but given the look to be launching 12/16 CPU core parts first then I can see them being in the £400+ range. Hard to gauge where to price them given they still need fast RAM and a motherboard to do anything, it's pretty much uncharted territory.
 
more than anything this is the kind of think minisforum might do: create a mini-itx board in the same way they're created mini-itx mobile dragon range products.

a fractal Design Era 2 with this in it would make an awesome htpc!

If AMD released these to the average PC builder they would sell VERY WELL. Lots of people who want to build small form factor PC but powerful. These would allow so many possibilities, Even a cut down 8 core version for handheld markets would enable whole new class of handheld.
