    Much like their laptops, I’m all for the idea, but what makes this desirable by those of us with no interest in AI?

    I’m out of that loop though I get that AI is typically graphics processing heavy, can this be taken advantage of with other things like video rendering?

    I just don’t know exactly what an AI CPU such as the Ryzen AI Max offers over a non-AI equivalent processor.

      Juat maybe not all products need to be for everyone.
      Sometimes it’s fine if a product fits your label of “Not for me”.

      There’s lots of workstation niches that are gated by VRAM size, like very complex rendering, scientific workloads, image/video processing… It’s not mega fast, but basically this can do things at a reasonable speed that you’d normally need a $20K+ computer to even try. Like, if something takes hours on an A6000 Ada or an A100, just waiting overnight on one of these is not a big deal. Cashing or failing to launch on a 4090 or 7900 XTX is.

      That aside, the IGP is massively faster than any other integrated graphics you’ll find. It’s reasonably power efficient.

      Its nothing like their laptops, thats the issue :/ Soldered in stuff all around, nonstandard parts that make it useless for use as a standard PC or gaming console.

        Sorry, I was stating that “much like their laptops, I like the idea of these desktops.” I was not trying to insinuate that they themselves are alike.
