Bristol Ridge APU OEM systems

[Marstg]

I know that these CPUs are not available at retail yet ( maybe with the Raisin launch) but there are some interesting OEM systems with them, chiefly the Lenovo M715q https://m.cdw.ca/shop/products/Leno...series-A12-PRo-9800E-3.1-GHz-8-GB-128/4425876 and the HP Pavilion 510-p127c https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883286003.
The Lenovo system is using the mobile 35W part while the HP is using the full blown 65W part. The HP seems a pretty interesting deal with 16GB RAM, seems dual channel, plus a discrete GPU.

I do not want to shitpost but http://www.ebay.com/itm//152411835888 wouldn't this old workstation eat the HP Pavilion for breakfast while being physically smaller? The video card is not but then again you won't play a lot of games on an R7 450 either -- and also you could add http://www.ebay.com/itm/322366241035 an R7 350x and still be cheaper than the Bristol Ridge machine. Per wikipedia the R7 450 is a Cape Verde Pro AKA Radeon HD 7750 while the R7 250x was a Cape Verde XT already aka HD 7770 and I bet the 350x is the same. The difference between these two are negligible, these low numbered OEM parts are the same old GCN 1.0 parts rebadged again and again.

Bonus: ECC RAM. Second bonus: there's every chance this is a v2 Xeon, everything in the HP manual says so.

And now low profile doesn't matter that much since you can buy either an RX 460 or a GTX 1050 Ti low profile.

Or a WX4100 (or two) for a full on workstation. Nice find.
