Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
Digital Foundry finally acquired themselves an illustre motherboard with an AMD A9-9820 - A processor that may or may not be a rebranded Xbox One APU (TheThreadsMayBindUs will disagree here)
Rich goes through the works of testing this out - and finds that the integrated graphics is just too unstable. But what occurs when it can be paired with a high end GPU? In what is an utter display of constant astonishment, DF went on a journey.

What's discussed: (Ballpoints)Cyberpunk 2077 on PC... tested on an Xbox One CPU? Yes, it's possible - just. Last year, a PC motherboard with an embedded Xbox One processor appeared in Far Eastern markets. It's the first time we've been able to run Windows on a last-gen console APU, so just what level of gaming performance can we achieve from it? And if we run Cyberpunk 2077's PC version on a console CPU, how does it actually compare to the console version itself? So began a lengthy journey that only recently reached a conclusion.
- An overview of the motherboard
- Integrated graphics briefly discussed
- How a high end GPU was connected and the bandwidth limitations this introduces
- Vis-a-vis performance comparisons with Xbox One X, primarily Cyberpunk 2077 but also Doom Eternal
- The unique position of this hardware int he PC space
