AMD today announced multiple CPU models spanning two generations of sockets, as well as a new graphics card during CES 2024. First is the new Ryzen 8000G series of APU.

It doesn’t need all the flashing lights and LEDs of an ultimate gaming rig, it just needs to function. At least, that’s how I originally felt about your average NUC. Then I unboxed Ayaneo’s Mini PC AM01 for the first time, and I couldn’t help but wonder why I thought other manufacturers could get away with the same old, same old for so long.Hands-on: Lenovo Legion GoYou can already…
