That is the way they operate.if the above is true, then no wonder they only showed NPU tasks in Resolve. This is a very shady launch. Avoid till Gen 2
Early verdict?if the above is true, then no wonder they only showed NPU tasks in Resolve. This is a very shady launch. Avoid till Gen 2
No, it’s a final verdict. Too many issues. This is on par or worse than MTL launch. And if Strix Point has very few issues then the whole X Elite is going to be in more “trouble”.Early verdict?
I'll give my final verdict after reviews.No, it’s a final verdict. Too many issues. This is on par or worse than MTL launch.
I feared this situation might happen.And if Strix Point has very few issues then the whole X Elite is going to be in more “trouble”.
What kind of modifications, yall think?The X Elite and X Plus will have modified versions in 2025, with a reduction in end product prices.
I know everybody likes to jump the "hate on Qualcomm" train (they deserve it for the most part), but blaming them is just hitting on the easy target. If anything, this only shows how the entire ecosystem can not pull something smoothly, be it Microsoft, Intel/AMD/Qualcomm, or OEMs.Too many issues. This is on par or worse than MTL launch.
I don't think so. Strix Point wasn't the huge leap that was promised and, given their tight lips on efficiency AFAICT, I'm not expecting it to be big on this front.And if Strix Point has very few issues then the whole X Elite is going to be in more “trouble”.
dGPU support?Two new growth drivers for Qualcomm / Qualcommçå©åæ°æé·åè½
The SM8750 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 4), which will enter mass production in 2H24, is expected to be priced 25â30% higher than the current flagshipâ¦medium.com
What kind of modifications, yall think?
X Elite already has the PCIe lanes for dGPU, iirc.dGPU support?
Cristiano said X Elite is coming to "all form factors". They need more than Adreno iGPU to compete in desktop.
Or ARM?I know everybody likes to jump the "hate on Qualcomm" train (they deserve it for the most part), but blaming them is just hitting on the easy target. If anything, this only shows how the entire ecosystem can not pull something smoothly, be it Microsoft, Intel/AMD/Qualcomm, or OEMs.
(Rene Haas) I think when it when it comes to the compute platform, it’s more Arm with Microsoft, than it is arm with Qualcomm, if that makes sense
You might be right.X Elite already has the PCIe lanes for dGPU, iirc.
I don't think so. Strix Point wasn't the huge leap that was promised and, given their tight lips on efficiency AFAICT, I'm not expecting it to be big on this front.
It wasn’t. GPU improvements are from extra cores and clock increase. Probably a bit of tweaks and Zen 5 is not groundbreaking for client.I don't think so. Strix Point wasn't the huge leap that was promised and, given their tight lips on efficiency AFAICT, I'm not expecting it to be big on this front.
Kinda?GPU improvements are from extra cores and clock increase.
But have you seen it?Zen 5 is not groundbreaking for client.
No, that's LNL unless by 'efficiency' you mean cinememes@W.It is very likely that Qualcomm will be the most efficient Windows laptop
But have you seen it?
Not kinda it is. It should be a bit faster than M4 GPU in Steel Nomad light.Kinda?
I'm curious, what is your definition of efficiency?No, that's LNL unless by 'efficiency' you mean cinememes@W.
Not impossible, but Intel passed on the opportunity to steal Qualcomm’s thunder with concrete battery life claims. They don’t seem sure yet. If they don’t start barking by the official launch, how likely is it that independent reviewers will say it’s because Intel wanted to surprise everyone with its dominance.No, that's LNL unless by 'efficiency' you mean cinememes@W.
45W is not where it should be.+15% in CB 2024 ( at 45 watts) than a M3 Pro is nothing groundbreaking
Zen5 is amazing at int stuff.Excluding vectors. Zen 5 will be amazing there.
Again, have you seen it?Not kinda it is.
mm25/teams 3x3 BL.I'm curious, what is your definition of efficiency?
For that you need an exact same design with different SoCs which is pretty hard to pull off.but Intel passed on the opportunity to steal Qualcomm’s thunder with concrete battery life claims.
Zen5 is amazing at int stuff.
Hopefully.+32% iso clock integer, perhaps?
Just get a lunar lake laptop and be happy with it if you need a laptop with great battery life this year.Yikes, had to cancel when my pre-order went from 'shipping June 17th' to 'shipping sometime mid-September'. Told them to just forget it.
Sounds like maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
That's also Intel's definition, apparently, and they say they're the best, so let's factor that in.mm25/teams 3x3 BL.
It's the OEM definition too, lotta MM25 numbers in PSREFs and all.That's also Intel's definition
I know.It's the OEM definition too, lotta MM25 numbers in PSREFs and all.
