I think it's going to be 3, but a split between mobile and laptop/desktop without any concern for competing with dGPUs. It makes no sense at all for them to.

If they can give good enough, on par or better with current iGPUs, with a lower power usage and potentially even fanless, they're going to sell a billion of them. They'll be in every Chromebook in the world.
- hypercube33 2y agoThey aren't gunning for Chromebook deployments...these are currently in business laptop models and AMD may have already beaten them in all fronts on some of these per dollar other than ultralight and video playback duration. Lenovo has a A model that can do 16 hours and light gaming. more importantly it runs x86 apps full speed. I agree these likely will take over the sub $1000 market if given the chance but they are shooting at $1500-2000
- silisili 2y agoInteresting. Seems like a huge missed opportunity there, as those outsell everything else by quite a margin. Perhaps they'll expand into both ends like they do phones, eg the 4xx on the low end and 8xx on the high end.
- RussianCow 2y agoPresumably the margins on Chromebook are terrible compared to those of mid to high end laptops. I don't blame them for wanting to start with the higher margin market and eventually work down.
- dagmx 2y agoThey aren’t fighting for Chromebook territory with this though. All their comparisons are to the MacBook Air and mid-high end windows laptops because that’s the market they’re gunning for. These are meant to be $1k-2k devices.
