> it'll drive a bunch of monitors just fine. I wish AMD would tell me how many monitors. Intel's Ark will tell me a 14700K's iGPU supports 4 monitors. AMD's specs for the 8700G supports 4 monitors [0]. But their new 9900X [1] and older 7900X do not mention how many displays are supported. It seems to be left off their GPUs too [2] [0] https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/8000-series/amd-ryzen-7-8700g.html https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/80...

Isn't this related to mainboard/gpu board implementation? Maybe they do not like to get ahead of the vendors.

  The rest of the system may limit the number of outputs in various ways, but the chip itself has its own maximum. It's important information which shouldn't be omitted. And the external factors shouldn't matter here. In the same way they say 170W and not hide it because you may not have a good enough cooler to reach that power draw.

  With DisplayPort multi-stream transport, the number of ports aren't really relevant. It's not related to GPU power either; some RTX 4090s have five ports but Nvidia has a display limit of 4 displays too.

It seems to be 4 displays; the marketing slides for the granite ridge explicitly list 4 displays https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-dishes-more-zen-5-details-compact-core-is-25-smaller-than-the-normal-core-new-soc-architecture-disclosed#amd-granite-ridge-soc-3 https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-dishes-m... . For Raphael it should be the same as the SOC is the same, I found some articles mentioning 4 displays but nothing directly from AMD quickly, they may have said it during a presentation
