They don't include a 780M because it's still trash for serious gaming. If you are buying a 9700X you are buying a GPU to game. The CPU has an iGPU if you are desperate.
I've read elsewhere about the 'underwhelming performance' as well.
Surely while this is a 'desktop' part, why did they NOT at least include a 780M iGPU?
Granted they might be trying to save sales of their low-end discrete GPU products however what they DID include is kinda a joke - much like what Team Blue includes.
After the launch of Strix Point, AMD Zen 5 has made its official debut on desktop today. The first two Ryzen 9000 series processors available are the Ryzen 5 9500X and the Ryzen 7 9700X. Reviews of these CPUs are already out, and the current top-end model appears to not have lived up to expectations.
