The latest custom chips in the PS5 and Series X seem limited compared to desktop options. The question arises about why AMD’s top APU uses a quad-core design with 11 compute units while fitting 53 cores into the Series X chip.

Console's graphics chips run on separate chips. They use less space compared to a full CPU, making them inherently more capable.

Due to the need for GDDR5/6 technology integrated into the chip, custom designs are challenging outside specialized setups. Typically it's an 8-core system with eight compute units. The 4900H found in mobile devices shows how simpler and more cost-effective it can be for AMD to offer graphics cards and CPUs separately for those requiring high performance.
