Seems a good deal for an 6 core AMD. Gaming performance similar to a steam deck.

That was the Amazon listing title. They advertised it wrong. Still not bad
Pretty sure, its been that price several times before..
As above.. almost purchased.. until I googled the CPU to discover its only a 6 core unit..
if it was 8 cores, definitely tempting but for 6?
no ty
"Gaming performance similar to a steam deck."
That seems like a bit of a stretch.

I wouldn't be surprised. These things can have a higher tdp, where as the steam deck is basically a 15w tdp device. I remember the Vega series are similar in performance when set to higher power draw.
Id wait for Prime day price errors.
You mean the part where they jack the price up then correct it with coupons?
No, the part where they reduce the price and forget to remove the coupon, usually happens at 12.01am.
would be perfect if it had hdmi 2.1 not HDMI 2.0b
CPU apparently is a rebadged 5600U = graphics aint that great.
I was actually contemplating getting this originally to replace my parents' ex-corp Dell Optiplex but will now likely get the GMKTec M6 which has a newer CPU and better integrated graphics for currently only $50 more after coupon code is applied.
So Vega 7 igpu?
6600H (the one on the GMKTec M6) is Zen3+ so DDR5 support and the integrated graphics is based on RDNA2 (same baseline as the RX6000 series of desktop GPUs).
At this stage of the game, people should go for anything zen4 or above - or at least the zen3+ cores with DDR5 support - ddr4 ram will only get more expensive now.
Only thing with DDR5 on miniPCs is that the RAM speed is currently capped at 5600M/Ts and they are still expensive v/v DDR4 SODIMMS relatively especially if people want more than 16GB.
Price has just gone up to $417 so it appears deal is expired unless it goes down again tomorrow for Prime Day.
their title is wrong
R5-7430U is 6C/12T - as per pics and desc in the listing
