Additionally, socket dimensions must be taken into account. Game consoles function as embedded systems with specialized motherboards; their chip size isn't a major issue. If you need an APU compatible with AM4 or future AM5 variants, available space is tight. You might design a chip that's eight times more powerful, but the GPU section would then occupy an eightfold larger area, exceeding socket capacity.
This refers to a GPU designed for different packaging or deployment options.
We are increasing the number of real estate projects for the bigger socket the APU is placed in.
It won't happen, there's a limit to how large a (consumer) cpu can be. To make it bigger is just not financially beneficial to make. Consumer cpu is not a high margin product for AMD. To get more margin, they need to make it as small as possible.
Transitioned to CPU designs, motherboard configurations, and memory systems.
the console managed to do it, the xbox 360 also could, they originally even considered skipping the graphics card completely for the ps3—no, they actually intended to use two cell processors! That was quite a twist. It seems they made this decision just a few months before launch, and it was pretty straightforward because the design was already in place. The ps4 and later models use apus chips.
