After the first reviews of the Radeon RX 6500 XT came out, which by the way are not encouraging at all, a user observed that its small DIE manufactured at 6nm could fit on the packaging of a Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 5 CPU, so that proposed the launch of a Ryzen 7 5800GX that just place a DIE Navi 24 as integrated GPU.

In this way, this possible APU would have all the characteristics of a Ryzen 7 5800X, or even a 5800X3D, since the extra cache increases the size vertically so it would not affect the horizontal space that is the problem here, plus a graphics card that could have up to 1024 Stream Processors, which would deliver pretty decent performance.
Unfortunately, this is just a concept because obviously AMD is not going to start designing this product with Zen3+ and Zen 4 around the corner, since Navi 24 is not compatible with DDR4 or DDR5 memory, but it is or if it requires the use of GDDR6 memories. Also, the rumors say that we could see something like that on the AM5 platform with an APU based on Zen3+ and RDNA2, so don’t lose hope.
