    Yeah, I'm hoping for $2k USD for 32GB full config. That is with a quality screen and ample storage, would be a crushing CPU for a laptop...

    Cooling a single package is easier than two, especially when it could be 120W vs ~150W combined. Just take a traditional SoC only...

    RDNA3.5 is alright, maybe not so much vs Blackwell but Strix Halo SoC die is N3E, that is a superior node and will help a lot...

    APU BoM is lower due to unified memory. 32GB of LPDDR5X is cheaper than 24GB LPDDR5X + 8GB of GDDR6. It is a somewhat harder sell to...

    AMD just doesn't consider things not server as all that relevant. Apple exhausted every available clkspeed steroid with M3/M4 and ARM...

    Well a big part of the wait has been doing a big development shift, Medusa and Venice are far more divergent than Granite Ridge and...

    Lame if true. That means either N3P volume ramp is late or TSMC is charging an unreasonable premium vs N3E. First AMD parts on N3P/N2...
