Consider using a microcontroller board such as the Raspberry Pi for DIY projects.
You're trying to persuade me about purchasing a GPU. It's evident you prefer an APU configuration. Why would it make sense to buy a 3400G APU with a budget model like the RX580 instead of a more powerful 3600, especially when it costs the same? This isn't my first build, and I've already had high-end setups before. I'm feeling quite bored with this PCMR setup. Now I have two APUs running, which is really enjoyable. Some people are excited about buying an RTX3090, while others enjoy experimenting with alternatives. Additionally, I own a gaming phone that lets me play on it too. I spend more time on my phone than my PC, which means I have more devices to use beyond just my computer. Some might think I don't care, but this is why I have so many devices available for playback. People may assume I'm not interested in help, but you keep suggesting buying a GPU when I was talking about APUs.
The main problem with the APU is the insufficient GPU power, which remains unchanged despite new models. The current setup combines a 3-core processor with an older Vega GPU, so your GPU limitations won’t improve much. In fact, the 5600G appears to have a weaker GPU than the 3400G (Vega 7 vs Vega 11), resulting in a noticeable performance drop. To address this, I suggested using a generic GPU like an 1650. However, there’s no real solution that can fully resolve the issue and significantly boost performance.
You mixed up concerns about GPU power with questions about newer APUs. I wasn’t focusing on graphics cards, just checking if the latest APUs could match or exceed my 3400G performance. You keep bringing up GPUs and FPS numbers, but I understand you’re curious about how much faster these new chips might be compared to what I’m using.
I'm really sorry about the mix-up with the FPS limits. It seems there was a misunderstanding. The good news is it’s quite straightforward now. Because you aren’t pushing your CPU to its maximum, upgrading to the new APUs isn’t necessary—they share the same GPU, just with different configurations.
It's curious how the top 4750G with Vega 8 can match the FPS of Vega 11 despite Vega 8 running at 2.1GHz while Vega 11 caps at 1800Mhz. I hope they'd stop focusing on low-end GPUs and switch to APUs instead.
A slight update occurred with the newer APUs, mainly in terms of clock speed and memory. Most other aspects remained unchanged. Regarding basic display adapters, I think anything under the NVIDIA XE50 or AMD RX560 class GPUs is outdated since integrated graphics now outperform them.
Interesting fact is that AMD once developed HBM memory, making it compact enough for integration into an APU. Only a few gigabytes were needed. Although HBM is costly, SSDs offered more affordable options recently. I’ve seen a 128GB SSD priced around 180-210 euros, while a 1TB Samsung 970 Evo was bought last week for just 109 euros—about half the price with double the capacity. HBM could eventually drop in cost, simplifying GPU PCB design and layout processes. I’m curious about the potential performance of an APU using HBM memory.
