Microsoft's next-gen Xbox Series S console gets a teardown treatment, we get to see how it ticks internally -- and it's impressive.

Asus is proving singlehandedly that AMD can power flagship laptops of all sizes from the small ROG Flow X13 to the large Strix Scar 17 G733. It's time for other manufacturers to stop relegating Ryzen CPUs to mid-range or lower models and start putting them on their flagship products.

An unknown AMD processor has appeared online, known as the ‘4700S’. The specifications of this processor don’t line up with any of AMD’s announced CPUs or APUs, but based on some of the details, this could be a reused Xbox Series X|S APU with the graphics cores disabled.  As per the retailer (via @9550pro), the AMD 4700S APU is being sold inside a mini-ITX system. Like the Xbox Series X|S APU, this one is based on the 7nm process node and features 8x Zen 2 cores and 16x threads. The naming lacks the “Ryzen” of other AMD APUs and is apparently based on the ‘Cardinal’ platform.
