These things have hardware FP8 support, and a 1.8TB/s full mesh interconnect between CPUs and GPUs. We can argue about the "agentic" bit, but those are features that don't really matter for any workload other than AI.

Would cloud gaming platforms benefit from the interconnect?

mem bw between cores matters for .... literally all workloads that are not single-core (read: all). And FP8 matters not at all cause inference on cpu is too slow to be of any use whatsoever in the days of proper accelerators
The huge interconnect would also useful be for HPC tasks. The FP8 not so much, HPC still loves FP64.
