Strix Point and ***particularly*** Strix Halo significantly exceed typical costs. Many levels surpass 8700G.
I tried. It’s always been a note in every post here. My argument is that enforcing these limits makes APUs quite limited. Whether you have power or space issues, most people looking for a desktop usually opt for laptops, tablets, or mini PCs instead. This means the demand for these chips remains very low. I wouldn’t be surprised if AMD skips a Zen 5 APU release for regular sales. They didn’t do it for Zen 2, except years later with the 4600G. For office tasks, the integrated graphics in Intel or Ryzen processors are more than adequate. Just use a Core i3 12100 without the non-F if you only need to handle spreadsheets and video calls. QuickSync Video also offers better support for production work, so if you occasionally need to edit videos or capture screens, it could yield better outcomes. For casual gaming, it depends on your setup. If you just want to play League and Minecraft at 60fps, the i3 12100 is sufficient. And if you’re aiming for more demanding games, the 12400F + B580 offers similar performance at a comparable price. It’s not a top-tier choice, but it’s still a solid option. Right now, it’s about $10 cheaper, and you could save even more by using DDR4 on the Intel version. I’m not claiming the 8700G is bad, but highlighting how rare it is to find a value-driven solution.
I addressed a previous comment about AMD's potential release schedule. The idea was that due to the specialized nature of the use case, APUs haven't gained traction for most users over the past ten years. I noted there are no widespread rumors beyond niche products such as Strix. While it's possible AMD will develop a G series using their current laptop chips, the timeline seems uncertain. Packaging into socketable chips could happen soon, but it's unlikely to launch this year. The market size may not support another release at the moment. The 8000G line appears to cover that gap, so AMD might wait for conditions to shift unless they face a situation similar to their previous experience with the 3000G series.
