Oh I hope the price is low enough that this be a real media box chip competitor fir streaming devices. Nvidia Shield Tegra chip from 2015 is still one of the best in this space. And with nvidia making all the AI money is not interested in making a new device. Apple TV the only real alternative does not support audio passthrough so is not as open as android or Linux media boxes.
- StopDisinfo910 1y agoI think Amlogic, Mediatek and Qualcomm all have SoC which are significantly better than the Tegra for this use case. It’s just that the market barely exists as most consumers use their tv directly so no one really wants to make a media box anymore.
- jauntywundrkind 1y agoYeah, whether AMD is willing to go after some market low end has long been TBD. Intel's N100/N97/N150 is everywhere & very affordable, seemingly, based off some of the system prices. AMD doesn't have anything remotely like it. The chip here is an interesting mix. Fast ddr5-9600! But less GPU CU's than most APUs: 4 down from 6. But if it comes with the other fixings like a good video engine & AMD's very good drivers it could be a real win. Also a little hopeful that AMD rebadging it's Zen 1 and Zen 2 chips again might possible open up some decent low end space, but Sound Wave with more modern solutions would be a very nice to have power efficient low end.
