I don't game much these days, I'm turning into a boring old codger. So I'd like to see a hexa-core or octo-core APU with the same integrated graphics. That would give me the performance at or around a Ryzen 7 and more than adequate graphics power at a lower price, more convenient package, and lower total power draw than a real Ryzen 7 and a $80 discrete GPU.
