Atari VCS ditches custom AMD Bristol Ridge A10 for an unannounced dual-core Ryzen APU; console still not available though

[Redaktion]

The team behind the much-delayed Atari VCS has announced an APU replacement for the game console. Previously, a customized A10 chip from AMD's Bristol Ridge series was going to be installed, but perhaps wisely the developer has now upgraded that choice to a more modern dual-core Ryzen processor. Graphics will be processed by a Radeon Vega GPU rather than the R7 GPU.

I wonder which scam (leaching off of AMD goodwill) will implode first.

SMASHZ or Atari VCS? By the time "current" Atari tried with the VCS, people were already a bit more weary of these Kickstarter schemes.

I think despite smach z having more "to show" what they are trying to do is far more challenging and expensive, plus they have burnt a ton of their limited resources into some missventures, so i'd say they'll be the first ones to implode.

What atari wants to do is simple, the major risk i see is their current lawsuit
