Laptop APUs?

How big are they? Could 1 fit in something like Mini PC Stick Windows 11 Pro,Compute Stick Intel Celeron J4125 Processor Equipped 8GB DDR4 128GB SSD,Support Auto Power on,4K HD/Gigabit E, IMO it would be awesome to have something like that, you could play AAA games on. I mean I guess it is not posible, no one has done it yet, but the Steamdeck board is not that big. Just wondering, Sony could have the Pocket Station,MS the XSteam Gamers Stick & Nintendo not sure what a good name would be, Ninrendo Nano. Ofcourse they couldn't take cartridges.

Steam Deck's PCB is pretty small, the other ones have the extra long motherboards for the joysticks and such.

 

 

You'd have to get creative with the cooling to miniaturize it. You can find Steam Deck motherboards for like $220.

 

Otherwise, the motherboard and substrate size prevent these larger dies with powerful APUs from being put in stick PCs. I wouldn't doubt if the new HX 370 strix-point APUs are too big for normal 7" handhelds like the ROG Ally X and Steam Deck. Maybe in a 10" version, but not a 7".

 

 

The thing is nearly the size of the Steam Deck's whole motherboard for just the substrate.

Hmmm, it would be cool. The people who think about this thing would be better to talk to.
