The processor and chip market is experiencing its worst known shortage. Companies like samsung they have a regular time when it comes to producing their chipsets and the company also affects other major manufacturers like AMD, NVIDIA or Mediatek among others.
So it’s no surprise that some of these giants are using recycled or discarded parts to sell other products. This is precisely what seems to be happening with the 4700S, a board that uses parts cut from discarded Xbox Series development kits.
The new 4700S, with an Xbox core
It’s not something new either, not long ago faulty Xbox Series X and S refurbished SDK boards appeared online. We now know that this was the new AMD 4700S card with eight Zen 2 cores and a disabled iGPU
