AMD Ryzen Strix Halo APU is matching the RTX 4070 laptop GPU in gaming benchmarks

[Puiu]

So, AMD might finally have a decent APU that could really be nice for lower end gaming machines, but they are marketing it as an expensive AI Workstation which likely will not get a DIY socket, but will come only in laptops and mini-PCs?

We don't know yet. This is more of a high end tablet not a laptop which are generally more expensive. There will definitely be cheaper devices than this and we don't know yet about AM5 compatibility. Is there any demand for this in a regular PC over the smaller APUs?
