But not as powerful as the average gaming PC. If you take a mini ITX board, an every level Ryzen processor and something like an RX 7700 that would make a pretty cool system. If you manage to sell that for under $600, you have a winner.

A PS5 Pro is far more powerful than the average gaming PC.

And I don't know why you think an APU can't achieve good performance. The PS5 Pro manages it despite being a small die size and an old CPU architecture.

You talk of the need to make it manufacturable cheaply - that's what APUs are good at. Having it across several chips that need more expensive board layouts, far more memory, and more advanced cooling adds cost.
