AMD Flute SoC features Zen 2-based CPU with Navi 10 Lite graphics

Twitter hardware enthusiast Komachi discovered the "AMD Flute" qualification sample in the UserBenchmark database. This chip seems similar to Gonzalo, which is believed to be the brain of Sony's upcoming PlayStation 5 console. It features a Zen 2-based processor with eight cores, sixteen threads, a 1.6GHz base clock, and 3.2GHz Boost clock. The graphics part of the SoC is a Navi 10 Lite, but there are no further details about this GPU.

Further poking into the UserBenchmark data provides an indication of relatively high bandwidth and low latency, so perhaps Flute will be paired with GDDR6 memory, @Komachi certainly thinks so.
