AMD Strix Halo Radeon APU's

[Journey]

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.

Excited to see the mini-PC possibilities, but these are going to be wildly expensive. I think there will be disappointment at launch for some.

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.

I cannot see these being offered in AM5 format. More likely to be offered in a mini pc.

Yes these ones will be BGA only, they may never release a desktop socketed version, but I hope they do.
