55 USD AMD Athlon Pro 200GE Shows Up in Slides
A set of AMD slides has leaked yesterday, on it you can spot the AMD Athlon Pro 200GE, which is interesting as it would be a value proc competing with Intel's Celeron series.
The leak originated from PCEva show a 14 nm "Raven Ridge" die that has been further locked down. The Athlon 200GE will actually have integrated graphics, it's only 3 out of 11 Vega Shader units, bringing that number towards 192 stream processors. Which is fine for desktop usage really. The Athlon Pro 200GE is a dual-core part with SMP enabled, so it has four threads active and has a 512 KB L2 cache per core, and 4 MB shared L3 cache. The base clock is 3.20 GHz. The primary limitation is PCI-Express 3.0 at x4 for graphics. The Athlon Pro 200GE will be priced at USD $55 and is expected to launch in the upcoming weeks.

It can be used as a basic media center. The onboard gpu should be able to decode 4k hevc nicely

Well this is far more than enough for a calculator or terminal. The average office computer in NA is probably equal or inferior to this thing, companies keep their garbage-ass already-obsolete-at-purchase computers around for over a decade as the standard since most average work tasks don't require much computing power at all.
The tldr is that I expect it to be used in office computers. 2C/4T at 3.2GHz, and 3 Vega SUs for $55, that sounds okay to me. Too bad memory prices are still absolutely retarded.
This^ Companies love super cheap systems good enough for emails and Office. AMD can make a killing out of these kind of CPUs.

I agree 100%. This APU is plenty sufficient for basic desktop use like browsing the web, email, and writing papers. It could probably drive 2 1080p monitors, too.

Looks like the new AM1/kabini replacements those things where fun to mess around with still got mine around tho I broke the pci-e off on accident now all it's good for is media storage

Calculator part was kind of joke. Terminal was meant as old school device which had just keyboard, mouse and monitor. Inputs were gathered via concentrators and server provided output for screen based on input.
Apparently CPU/APU like one here can do more, but one should not really expect miracles form any 2C/4T chip.
Micro PC like based on chip here would run windows, therefore user "friendly" platform. Raspberry would not deliver UI friendly to user. Webapps would likely run there too, native application selection would be quite limited in both selection and performance.
