Snore. Same cut down memory bus, same low PCIe lane count.
My x86 PC is being beaten by Apple hardware in some tasks, it would be nice if someone was willing to seriously compete with this who does not have a massive conflict of interest in milking the enterprise market.

List your tasks, maybe we can help you.

And hardware he's referring to.

iGPU is still laughably bad, sadge. Will wait for intel 15th gen then.

Actually prominently advertising better branch prediction as a major feature. As if we don't all know a few years down the line it's gonna be just another CVE number that'll end up a headache having to be mitigated

The igpu is sufficient for desktop use.

Well, there can be other uses for a CPU at this price. I use 13700K in a mini portable PC and ability to drive 4x 4k monitors is very useful for me. I don't want to switch to unupgradable mini PCs just to have a passable iGPU from laptop (such as radeon 780M).

It works good enough for what it was intended for.

I use the iGPU of my ryzen 7800. It is okay for desktop usage. The applications that require more power run on my new Radeon dGPU.
This actually works fine. Wine based games automatically choose the dGPU. For other applications I can e.g. choose "run on discrete GPU" from the application menu.

This isn't an APU, if you want APU performance, get an APU. These iGPUs are for basic desktop use and maybe video decoding, that's about it.
