Practically speaking, most people who want this tech probably should just get an AMD laptop (Ryzen 2500U), or build a AM4 MicroATX PC build.<p>Your typical Ryzen 5 2400G is quad-core, 3.5 GHz (3.9 Boost) with 8x Vega EUs. Typical builds would be around 20W to 70W (<a href="https://www.anandtech.com/show/12425/marrying-vega-and-zen-the-amd-ryzen-5-2400g-review/13" rel="nofollow">https://www.anandtech.com/show/12425/marrying-vega-and-zen-t...</a>). Its hard to beat a standard PC build in cost, flexibility, and performance.<p>Ryzen 5 3500U laptops are under $600. Quite bad specs (as any other $600 laptop would be: 720p, Hard Drive, etc. etc), but yes they are available. <a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP8Z20670" rel="nofollow">https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6ZP8Z20...</a> . The 3500U also is quad-core with 8x Vega EUs.<p>For those with power and size restrictions, as well as the need for a long-term embedded solution... this R1000 SoC will fit their bill. Digital signage, Casino slot machines, etc. etc.<p>--------<p>For those with supercomputing needs, Vega 64 and Radeon VII have 64x Vega execution units. Even a RX 580 GPU has 36x EUs (just ~$200).
If AMD can afford to announce this now rather than 1st of May, which is their 50th anniversary, it suggests they have seriously impressive announcements to make in the anniversary event.
"Early adopters include Atari, which is using it for its VCS"<p>Wasn't aware of this before!<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_VCS_(2019_console)" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_VCS_(2019_console)</a>
