Light gaming, general use, HTPC, just about anything really. APU is AMD's term for a CPU with a small graphics chipset on it (most of theirs don't)

Yea I have a ryzen5 and was shocked that it wouldn't boot without a graphics card. No biggie, so I guess this makes sense. No need to buy another card, presumably something akin to the Intel embedded graphics..

Quite a lot of motherboards will do the (I think) "three beeps" which means it's detected a missing graphics card.

But if you leave it to go for a small while (20 seconds?), they'll continue on after the pause then boot/run without problem.

Useful for home servers.
