AMD releases "Hawk Point" APU's with AI focus on latest gen Ryzen - RIP Intel

Looks like AMD Q1 2024 will start including AI specific accelerators in next-gen AM5 Ryzen consumer CPUs.
ASUS Leaks Out AMD Ryzen 8000G "Hawk Point" Desktop APU Specs
The AMD Ryzen 8000G APUs were revealed in a previous leak and the latest information revealed by ASUS verifies the information and also offers a bit more details. The new Hawk Point APUs in the AM5 Desktop segment will make use of two key technologies, first is the Zen 4 core architecture which will power the CPU side of things and the second is the RDNA 3 core architecture which will power the graphics.
How do you think this will shape the future of the hosting industry and future demand for AI accelerated hardware, will AI enhanced features in future hosting offerings become industry standard? TDP seems quite reasonable for such features on this new 8000 series with around 65w for the Ryzen 7 8700G (4.2GHz, 65W, 16MB, 8, B2)

@crunchbits 7$, per year.
$7 per year for a Ryzen 7 8700G? Seems reasonable
@fiberstate
I have $7 left in my bank account, please send 8700G server.
Too many 9750X chickens
AMD is the hawk, Intel is prey.
@fiberstate I pre-order 8700G for $7/year, thank you
Taking pre-orders now. $7 for a grand daddy 8000 series chicken.
actually do enlighten me, how is AI this and that help in AI processing, or is it just a gimmicky word for extra cpu power?
Will feature AMD's NPU (neural processing unit)
AMD has also officially announced the successor to their first generation of the Ryzen AI (XDNA), which is currently in AMD's Ryzen 7040HS mobile series and is driving the refreshed Hawk Point Ryzen 8040HS series. Promising more than 3x the generative AI performance of the first generation XDNA NPU, XDNA 2 is set to launch alongside AMD's next-generation APUs, codenamed Strix Point, sometime in 2024.
Along with the most recent release of their Ryzen AI software (Version 1.0), AMD is making it more widely available to developers. This is designed to allow software engineers and developers the tools and capabilities to create new features and software optimizations designed to use the power of generative AI and large language models (LLMs). New to Version 1.0 of the Ryzen AI software is support for the open-source ONNX Runtime machine learning accelerator, which includes support for mixed precision quantization, including UINT16/32, INT16/32, and FLOAT16 floating point formats.
We'll see on price. If the 8700G launches anywhere near the $359 MSRP of the 5700G, it'll be a pretty hard pill to swallow.
Intel's death is kinda exaggerated, they've caught up with Meteor Lake. Their first generation Xe-HPG iGPU trades blows with AMD's RDNA 3 in many aspects. MTL is not coming to desktop, but Arrow Lake will be really interesting as their second chiplet series of CPUs.
