But feels like this is a short-sighted move. DIY market might statistically only account for 20% of the sales of these APUs, but that's historical data.
These new Ryzen 4000 generation should be a significant improvement over the previous generation, and better than what Intel can put out (especially on the graphics front). Just look at the rave reviews regarding the Ryzen 4000 laptops.
The DIY market is where a lot of innovation and word-of-mouth brand awareness is built up. Granted it'll be released to DIY market at some point, but it seem like a delayed opportunity. If laptop market is again of any indication, OEMs can give these the "budget unit" treatment and refrain from putting them in their flagship products.
Disclaimer: I've been anticipating this release, especially the 4700G chip, so this is very underwhelming.
