I wonder how much cross-pollination there is between the discrete GPU space and AMD's iGPUs. They're probably selling a dozen Playstation or Xbox APUs for every one 6700XT dGPU. But by building a better dGPU today, they have the technology to make a better APU when it comes to bid out the PS6 and Xbox Series Q, or for the next generation Ryzen "G" APUs. |

Also I am sure they share ideas and optimizations but I think overall it is a fairly different architecture. The APUs on the consoles as well as the ones they sell in laptops (or for OEM desktops) are chiplet based, similar to Ryzen. So they probably have smaller dies for GPU, CPU, and IO connected via something like Ryzen's Infinity Fabric (in contrast Intel and Apple put their GPU and CPU on the same die). Their dGPUs currently do not have this architecture although I have heard they want to move to this in the future since it has worked extremely well for ryzen.
