I was thinking AMD Renoir but Zen 2 and RDNA 2 is an odd combination. Is it custom?

- m45t3r 5y agoYeah, probably. Kinda like a Xbox Series/PS5 CPU lite.

- paulpan 5y agoThis seems like the rumored AMD Van Gogh for low power configurations: Zen2 CPU + Navi2 GPU. Essentially it's AMD's stop-gap solution before the launch of Rembrandt (Zen3 + Navi2). https://www.tweaktown.com/news/78815/amd-van-gogh-apus-zen-2-cpu-rdna-gpu-for-ultra-low-power-laptops/index.html https://www.tweaktown.com/news/78815/amd-van-gogh-apus-zen-2... Also agreed that this looks very price competitive. Given storage is SSD-expandable, $399 gives you a fairly powerful mobile gaming platform and PC.
