So, I assume the only difference between the 8400F and 7400F is clock speeds? Because 8000 series F models don't really make sense to begin with, seeing as (from what I recall) they were basically just the Zen4 APUs.

The whole point of these are the igpu so this is strange releasing it without.

They can make sense at the right price but as far they remain so close to the full chips they are pointless CPUs.

I believe these are monolithic chips, so it makes sense to sell the chips with defective GPU that is currently filling up the trashcan. If it was chiplet design they would just replace the cheap I/O chip with the defective GPU in it, and get a fully working CPU. It makes sense that China is the target marked, because the amount of defective chips are probably not high enough for a global market launch.

I thought the AM5 G-series models had the iGPU with its own die, and that only mobile chips were monolithic? The slideshow seems to suggest this is an AM5 model.

According to Techpowerup the 8700G is a Phoenix Chip with half the cache of the 7700x and the die shots I am able to find shows a single chip CPU. So it is probably a mobile chip glued onto a AM5 socket footprint and not a CCD and IO die setup. EDIT the 8700G is also PCI gen 4, indicating a mobile variant. The 8700f is probably the same.
