It's about the same performance as a 1050ti, which is a 2016 gpu. It's still very much behind entry level discrete gpus like Rx 6600.
Might make sense for a laptop or mini pc, but dont really see the point for desktop considering the price.
I think I might be the target market. I'm very happy with my 1070. I need a CPU and mobo upgrade imminently. I might just snag this and not think about a discrete GPU for a while.
Do you plan to replace your 1070 or use it alongside it?
Good question. I'm not sure if any games would benefit from that. I'd love to see that kind of benchmark.
It's a cpu... So that's pretty impressive..
It's a GPU. It's just integrated with the CPU, so you don't need a dedicated graphics card.
Yes but it's a GPU inside a chip that is also a CPU and at the size of a cpu. Look at any modern graphics card, or even the ones its being compared to which are huge cards.
Can I put a 1050ti in my 14" laptop?
This is exactly why I said it may make sense for laptops, where mobile chips like rx6600 mobile will still be better performance wise, but you don't have to worry about thermal throttling with igpus. This is nice for graphics intensive tasks on the go, but with the right laptop design I think a dedicated mobile GPU will still be the better option as a mobile workstation.
If the 15in laptop is too big, there's many 14in laptops with mobile GPUs better than iGPUs; again, at the cost of increased thermal throttling. So if your goal is to play a game on battery with the laptop on your lap, and you want to optimize for price and size, then an APU will make sense.
