The AMD 4800S Desktop Kit live images have just recently been spotted. This could be a higher clocked version of the previously launched 4700S Desktop Kit, or might even feature a new processor.

The live images were shared by VideoCardz, who also revealed a few specifications of this Desktop Kit that is based on the Zen2 architecture. For those unaware, the 4700S Desktop Kit features an Ariel SoC, which is the chip that powers the popular Sony PlayStation 5 gaming console. Notably, Team Red is currently working on Zen2/RDNA2 SoCs for the Microsoft Xbox Series gaming consoles. So, the 4800S might be using this new Xbox chipset. Although, this is just speculation as of right now.

Looking at the supposed specs of the 4800S, the upcoming Desktop Kit offers some key upgrades over the 4700S. This includes a PCIe 4.0 Slot for a dedicated discrete graphics card, over the last gen’s support for only Gen2. Furthermore, the 4700S could only support entry to mid level GPUs, while the 4800S can reportedly run up to a Radeon RX 6600 card that is bundled with the new Desktop Kit.

The report also added that the new 4800S will be launching sometime in the first quarter of next year. It will apparently be manufactured by known PC maker MSI, and will also be bundled with TUL (PowerColor) Radeon RX 6600 GPU. Although, this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt.
