Sorry for me going a bit off topic, but I am glad to see you found a CPU at a price you are good with.
Agree that it can be confusing, but I understand why they do it and I don't think it will change. The APUs get designed for both desktop and laptop use in mind (realistically probably more so the latter). So they save silicon space and help lower power consumption by cutting less essential or less commonly used bits (pcie version, "excess" pcie lanes, taper cache quantity down, etc). Honestly with how many "G" desktop processors they sell (lower volume), I highly doubt they would make one just for desktop...I think it is continue to have the option to get the essentially mobile parts in a desktiop form factor, or don't get them at all.

He rejected the 4500 because he wanted/needed PCIe 4.0.
