Prebuilts with AMD 4700S Desktop Kits Sell for $600 in India
Indian PC components retailer PrimeABGB started listing pre-built desktops based on the AMD 4700S Desktop Kit, a PC motherboard based on harvested PlayStation 5 SoCs with their iGPUs disabled. These are semi-custom SoCs originally bound for Sony, which didn't make the cut, as their iGPUs were found defective.
It appears like the desktop PrimeABGB is selling for the equivalent of $600, is integrated in-house by the retailer, and the other parts that make up the build are certainly of a comparable quality to the ones large OEMs cram in their $600 desktops. These include a SilverStone Sugo 13 Mesh case, an Antec Atom 450 W PSU, a 120 GB SATA 6 Gbps SSD, and a GeForce GT 710 handling graphics on par with basic iGPU solutions. What you're getting, though, is an 8-core/8-thread "Zen 2" CPU that's highly capable for productivity tasks, and hardwired 16 GB memory.

Other then that, why would it being competitive or not have anything to do with the determination? might as well say its not a first person shooter so it does not count.
What about online chess people play against eachother? huge amounts of people do that via various websites and you can run that on a calculator.
Edit: I have the 2GB DDR3 version. The DDR5 is faster.
It says GDDR5 version.
On another note, if this 4700s had the CUs enabled, it would be so awesome, I'd love to build a SFF PC with it
Intel's IGPU's as was said provide better performance and if we just judge something as a "gaming machine" by its ability to run it easiest stuff out there then EVERYTHING is a gaming machine, making the entire marketing, statement, point, completely worthless.
Even the DDR3 version runs Crysis at 30fps
I'm pretty sure none with 2 brain cells ought to be spending $600 (or more) to game at 20th century resolutions, again it's not about playing everything out there but come on at least 1080p/low should be bare minimum these days.
As for this PC, I think most people pointed out that it is not advertised as gaming PC. But someone could play games on it or install a higher end GPU, like a GTX 1050, that's why it is advertised as Starter gaming machine. And frankly, considering that most people game on smartphones, this is more than powerful to start Bluestacks on it and play (probably) ALL games that are available for Android. So if the definition of gaming machine should include the majority of gaming systems out there, which are smartphones, we do talk about a gaming machine.
Anyway, we play with words here(me included of course).
Got this in email this morning.
Any links where they compare them?
It's GT 730 GDDR5 version, so it should be faster than GT 710 GDDR5. And it is somewhat faster than Vega 3. GT 710 GDDR5 has a lot less cuda cores, nearly twice less, so I don't think it's going to beat Vega 3. It might beat Vega 3 under heavy overclock, but that's it.
A GT 710 is probably between what GT 630 and GT 730 shows. Vega 3 is almost 40% overclocked in the above benchmark, but I guess, if you can get that kind of overclock from the iGPU, why ignore it?
Thanks for the video.
EDIT: Incase of any doubts i can post picture of GT 710 and RTX 3070 side by side. - So your opinion is futile because i have suffered for 6 months with low graphics using GT 710 and i know exactly how powerless it is.
