From Zen to zen3, amd strictly follows the gap between CPU and APU products, that is, whether GPU display units are integrated. However, zen4 has changed. The 6nm i/o die has integrated the rdna2 display core natively. Therefore, the curiosity of the outside world mainly focuses on three points: first, how about the centralized display performance? Second, what about zen4 APU? Is there no zen4 APU? The third is whether it will launch a kernel less version of suffix f like Intel**

In this regard, Robert Hallock, AMD's technical marketing director, answered one by one.
First, performance. The Reebok 7000 is configured with only 2 rdna2 Cu units at most, that is, only 128 stream processors, which is 2/3 less than AMD's most basic APU.
Amd also recognizes the positioning of "turning on the machine", but emphasizes that in the past, users had to find a unique display to turn on the machine for inspection when there was a problem with their computer. It is even easier on Zen 4. At the same time, amd said that it has added more professional audio and video codec functions to the CPU.
Amd said that according to the data it collected, a considerable number of customers' installed machines are not configured separately, which is an objective demand.
Next comes APU. Amd stressed that in their eyes, the Reebok 7000 is still a CPU and does not replace the status of APU. The latter still has product planning in the future. The difference between them is just as mentioned above. The graphics unit of APU is large-scale and has strong performance, which can be used to play games.
Finally, amd stressed that there would be no Raptor 7000 products that cut off GPU units.
