AMD Ryzen 7 8700G : AMD claim 'HD 60fps+ without a GPU'

Leo has spent the last week preparing for the AMD launch of Ryzen APU's. He got a hands on with the Ryzen 7 8700G and decided to test AMD's claims of 'HD gaming at 60fps'.

Its quite a bold claim, so Leo decided to fire up one of his favourite games - Dark Souls 3, and put the claims to the test. He discusses his feelings on the overall real world experience and discusses his gaming sessions with the PS5 on older AMD hardware.
