So they are basically taking mainstream Zen 4 I/O chiplets that got a defective iGPU and put them to use. It's better than manufacturing instant e-waste. Seems like F has become a de facto industry standard for FUiGPU.

Probably so, since AMD will have to get most out of their fab capacities booked. Since Nvidia and others will probably overrule them with more cash in the future, so AMD needs some plan to make most out of what they get. And yeah, F those iGPUs anyway. 😀

Not everyone needs or cares about an iGPU, so if these parts can be sold without one for a lower price, why not?

If it is an 149 USD or less CPU, it would be amazing value like the 12400F or 13400F.
