AMD Semi-Custom SOC made for Zhongshan Subor

“The PC and console are powered by a semi-custom “Zen” and “Vega”-based AMD SOC. The high-performance AMD chip combines an AMD Ryzen™ CPU (4 core/8 thread running at 3Ghz) with AMD Radeon™ Vega Graphics (24CUs running at 1.3Ghzs), and 256-bit GDDR5 interface onto a single chip and 8GB of GDDR5 on the motherboard.” From AMD blog post

I wonder if any gray market motherboards will surface with that chip.

So now we finally get a PS4 style AMD cpu.

I personally like the amount of gddr5 memory.

Hopefully this thing is cheap.

The only place I found a price so far is overclock3d
"Zhongshan Subor’s PC/Console will be available in late August for around 4,998 Yuan. The system will include a 128GB SSD, a 1TB HDD and ship with an HDMI 2.0 display output. "
So converted is $732. I will keep looking for gray market motherboards using that chip.

So some more digging around. Chiphell picture of some of the board.

I love the design of the chassis. $732 + shipping is a little too much for me tho. That’s even if it is possible to get it here in the states.

I would be all over it if it were priced at $450 - $550.

Thanks for doing the research! :slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face::heart:

So some more digging around and found a video review of it. There aren’t subtitles unfortunately, but he does bring up cpuz and gpuz. https://youtu.be/Gypzm0zBXk0?t=644

A little rough around the edges software wise, makes me wonder about linux on the platform.
