Im not sure how big the chip is, or how much the iGPU portion takes up.
But Im sure once you cut cache abit, these 8 cores are probably not too big, or costly to have in a console.
Developing a new core, that is only half as big... why?
That stuff is expensive (R&D is crazy expensive), why not just use whats already on market.
These cores are ment for the bigger laptops.
There pretty energy effecient, and probably not overly expensive (im sure you ll see these in laptops that go as low as 600$).
With BoM on laptops being higher than consoles (overall) I dont see why you couldnt use this cpu in a console.
Also leaks have been saying both the PS4 and XB2 (XSX) will have Zen 2 cpu's, and 8cores/16threads.
Which is what this 4800H is.
