As long as AMD keeps selling Epyc 7000 server CPUs, we'll keep getting the tasty leftovers on the desktop segment.

It looks like Epyc 7000 will be produced/supported till 2026!

I'm surprised GN didn't mention the huge jump in iGPU between the 5000 series (Vega cores w/ DDR4) vs 7x0m on the new 8000 series APUs (Navi 3 with DDR5).

On the laptop market, the built in 780m seemed to be on par with the discrete mobile 1050ti/1650max-q.

It'll be interesting if the desktop version can handle faster RAM (DDR5 6400 is the official support) and do better with decent cooling.
