Yeah same. Especially that those consoles were launched all the way back in 2020, nearly 4 years ago.
I guess it's difficult to replicate the console performance when those run on GDDR as system memory and PCs on DDR so the bandwidth difference is huge.
But it's not like a system integrator like Asus or Gigabyte couldn't have built a small form factor PC based on a PC variant of the consoles APU and use GDDR instead.
AMD really missed out on this, especially during the pandemic when everyone was stuck indoor trying to game and looking for inexistent GPUs.
GDDR isn't necessarily all that better on use for general purpose CPU.
Most importantly, buyers didn't want machines with soldered memory, and that was main method of going with wider bus without prohibitively expensive boards etc.
Yes, but what's your point with those facts? Those were Bulldozer based APUs, not very good compared to what you could buy for PC back then, in an era where AMD wasn't very competitive and GPUs weren't overpriced unobtanium.
Just pointing out that AMD has been shipping cheap APUs with nice memory systems that increase iGPU performance for over 10 years.
Just mystifies me that AMD hasn't shipped similar in a laptop, SFF, or desktop yet. Especially during the GPU shortage. The AMD 780m iGPU does pretty well, clearly AMD could add more cores and ship a faster memory bus, like the ones on their Threadripper (4 channel), Siena (6 channel), threadripper pro (8 channel), or Epyc (12 channel).
Apple's doing similar with M1/m2/m3 (128 bit), M1/M2/M3 Pro (256 bit), and M1/M2/M3 Max (512 bit wide) available in laptops, tiny PCs (up to 256 bit wide) with the mini, and small desktops (studio).
Jaguar was the codename for the CPU core microarchitecture. AMD had two separate families of microarchitectures, much like Intel's Core and Atom families (since united in one chip in Alder Lake and later).
