AMD seems to have a surplus stock of poor Xbox Series X & Series S chips which weren't feasible for the consoles and ended up as the 4700S APU for the DIY segment. The AMD 4700S is a Zen 2 based chip that is being sold as a complete unit with its motherboard and memory in the Asian markets and features specifications similar to the current-gen Xbox consoles which makes it one interesting product.

Listed over at T-Mall by a 3rd party seller, the AMD 4700S is being sold as a complete unit within a Mini-ITX Gaming PC. The retailer has listed pricing of 4599 - 5599 Chinese Yuan which converts to around $700-$800 US which is a pretty hefty price but it does make some sense considering specs of this PC include not just the chip but the PSU, the case, storage, and an external discrete graphics card. Chinese retailers were also the first to offer the original Xbox One SOC on a DIY unit last year, as we reported here.
