I'm really wondering about the CPU+GPU.

Like in some contexts it sounds like a single APU with both.

But then it has normal and graphics RAM?

So is it 2 SoC? Or one connected to two kinds of RAM? Does the GPU have direct access to the non graphic memory?

The dedicated RAM makes it looks like 2 chips, but number of CU and similar make it look like an APU/integrated graphics???

I mean even with FSR 8GiB of graphics RAM is a bit tight for 4k60fps. But on the other hand recent consoles (e.g. PS5 Pro) do promise similar things and have 16GiB for _both_ the CPU and GPU which in effect also means only roughly around 8GiB dedicated to the GPU. So it still is viable. And if the GPU could directly access the non graphic RAM then it could easily outperform a classical 8GiB RAM GPU????? But I guess it's probably nothing fancy like that.

One good thing about it not having a AMD Max SoC or similar is that it probably will have console pricing. I mean for Valve Steam devices are about making sure Windows can't kill Steam and Steam staying relevant even if Windows decides to suicide themself with ads. So I would guess the price concept is similar to the Steam Deck, no loss, but also not a huge profit margin.
