Join Discussion →I really need to read up on AMD model names again. I've lost track of what is going on after the 7000 series X3D update.
8000 is APUs
9000 is desktop CPUs
Just think of it like leapfrogging, they do a series for CPU, then the next for APU, so the next CPU is the next thousand number
Sooo.... This is an APU without an iGPU? :LOL:
I know, that part is weird
