A rather unique find, this is a system level testing board used by AMD in 2019. It appears to be designed to test the rejected PlayStation 5 APU's. Sadly our board is damaged, missing a bios, and ram along with it's mount for the test APU chips.
This board was kindly donated to ObscureGamers by Bringus Studios, and in turn to passed onto VGPM.
The GX4000 is a video game console that was manufactured by Amstrad. It was the company's short-lived attempt to enter the games console market. The console was released in Europe in 1990 and was an upgraded design based on the then still-popular CPC technology. The GX4000 shared hardware architecture with Amstrad's CPC Plus computer line, which was released concurrently. This allowed the system to be compatible with the majority of CPC Plus software.
The GX4000 was Amstrad's first and only attempt at entering the console market. Although offering enhanced graphics capabilities, it failed to gain popularity in the market, and was quickly discontinued, selling 15,000 units in total.
