Final details
gollark: Or hold onto my quad-core like those before me have kept 4770Ks.
gollark: I may upgrade to... whatever the 8C/16T one is... as well as getting a Navi GPU at some point.
gollark: no.
gollark: And besides that, the APUs always lag a generation (or so) behind the notAPUs!
gollark: They also probably won't drop $/core too much as 7nm is more expensive!
