How thats fine to you if the SKU thats replacing the 3400G at the same price...
Again for the n-th time, it is
not replacing but
complementing the 3200g & 3400g
It ends up offering more diverse options to enthusiasts and allows the old flagship to be significantly discounted. (That is a complete win-win for consumers.) So either can get a much better deal on top of the line igpu gaming with a 3400g or you can at the same price get stronger CPU cores with an iGPU exceeding that of a 3200g but with almost twice the CPU capability as the 3200g.
The fact that 7nm Vega 7 outperformed the old 11 Vega flagship in the Rainbow6 iGPU-test (and probably traded blows in other iGPU tests) is impressive to me.
If you are so much stressing the (pretty insignificant) ~15% GPU disadvantage of 7nm Vega 6 over the flagship Picasso iGPU and talking about the great importance of the iGPU then also kindly point out that the i3-10100 that you are promoting is an absolute joke that shouldn't even be an option in your context.
I would not call "particular need" buying an APU to use its IGP, thats the whole point of an APU, having a good CPU with a good IGP.
You must misunderstand my point, which is that any smart enthusiast knows that he can (usually)
also go the dGPU route. Hence, that person might get himself a 3600 + RX 570 at a not dramatically higher % build cost while getting well over 2x any top end iGPU performance, or a 2600+570 for a good bit below the cost of a 4750g.
What you describing is a niche of a niche of a niche. The vast majority of users goes for best iGPU graphics or best CPU with adequate iGPU just to give signal to a Monitor and be able to watch videos. \ Just tell me whos going to spend 300 USD for the 4750G to play games with iGPU ??
It's really not that rare. Eg., any software dev who wants to casually or occasionally game. Any mid to high range home family PC not targeted at enthusiast gaming but fine for the kids. Any computer in a small form factor case, or any computer needing higher energy efficiency with higher performance and capabilities (eg. workstations and mid to high range office machines).
AMD has gotten greedy and these R3/R5 Renoirs are overpriced at 150/190
Those prices are are very close to the price of a 3600, which uses a 7nm sub 75mm2 chiplet + hub on MCM, while the 4300g/4600g's use a 156mm2 7nm monolithic die with 10B transistors. If you go by rate charge per transistors it's anything but greedy. A ~$25 price premium for having a Vega 7 or even Vega 6 iGPU seems about fair to me.
Now if there were a Matisse (or Zen3 equiv) based desktop focused MCM aiming at pushing the iGPU performance higher 30% while not affecting things like L3 that would be awesome. But how much DIY market would there be, and what premium over a non-APU would the market think is fair, for 14 CU Vega @12nm?
