Well i mean I hope that it can run Doom...

What was the point of this? Are they not using a GPU? I mean it is pointless to even say that otherwise.

I don't understand how this is an achievement.

Maybe it's the CPU itself running Doom without an external GPU? Na, that can't be possible.

Ooooh maybe that is what they meant, AMD is always pushing the integrated chips. They didn't make that clear though

For people wondering the reason for this video: It's to show they are live testing parts under latest software.

It shows they are close to having production parts. This is entirely new architecture so running a game on it shows it can handle complex applications like Doom. It also has rock solid compatibility with X86.
