$US330 for the top 8700G APU with12 RDNA 3 compute units (compare to 32 RDNA 3 CUs in the Radeon RX7600). And it only draws 150W under load.
Sure, for $100-200 more you could combine a cheaper CPU and better GPU. But I see the 8700G being an awesome option for gamers on a budget, or parents wanting to build younger kids their first cheap-but-effective PC.
I also see the 8700G as being REALLY nice for building small form factor mini-ITX Home Theatre PCs that run silent and don’t need a separate GPU. I’m exactly in this boat right now and the 8700G makes it an easy build now.
itll be a great upgrade for these little nuc like things , thin laptops, and steamdeck competitors
