AMD Ryzen 8000 APU Leaks: Zen 5 In Fire Range & Strix Point Families, Hawk Point With Zen 4 & RDNA 3.5

AMD's next-gen Zen 5 & Zen 4 powered Fire Range, Strix Point & Hawk Point APUs with RDNA 3.5 GPU cores have leaked out.

This was "leaked" by MoorsLawIsDead. If this is anywhere near true, it would be just amazing for anyone that wants a uSFF build. What i'm wondering, WHY would AMD make such an APU? Rule the SFF and Handheld marked?

Laptops? That's where the chips are going. Makes way more sense to have an powerful APU in a laptop than a CPU and a GPU separately. Less power draw, less heat, better battery life, simpler cooling solution design, more room for other components, etc. Honestly I've been baffled why AMD hasn't done something like this before already.
Also, I mean not to be rude but did you watch the whole video? Everything I just said was said in the video too.

I think it's about resources. Remember where they were when Lisa Su took over.
They've been focusing on the server market (biggest margins), which brought them more cash, which they can invest in other markets, in this case laptops which is (if i remember correctly) way bigger market than desktops. MLIS also said that their plan was/is to attack laptop market next year, which is why they would need super APU-s.

Let me know when these things can be installed into desktop DIY PC's, otherwise I could care less. Thankfully have no personal use for laptops.
