While I agree with your sentiment adding a simple Vega 8 to their CPUs is a lot more work and expense than you'd think.
They have a thing going where they manufacture Zen core chiplets, and that put together X number of chiplets to make a processor. This is very attractive in terms of cost.
As best I know they don't have a GPU chiplet, and so they can't just add one to a CPU. All their processors containing both CPU and GPU are designed like the M1 - one big chip with both.
Hopefully this will change soon, and we'll have Navi 2/3 chiplets going around.
- schmorptron 6y agoI wonder if there's a way for motherboard manufacturers to add an integrated GPU to the boards today. I think I remember seeing some nvidia chip on a really old motherboard once, but maybe that was before a lot of the PCIE stuff was moved directly into the CPU die?

- toast0 6y agoA lot of mainstream server boards have very crappy videocards onboard too; usually the IPMI chip has something with vga output (and network console).
