yep, that's what I meant by "cheaper"Also takes up less internal space in the laptop, a simpler cooling system and less motherboard complexity.
Nice, I saw the M4 reach over 500 in one of the YouTube videos. I’ll post in the web thread when I find that video again.
With support for CXL 3.1 and PCIe Gen6, the industry’s fastest host interfaces,2 Versal Premium Gen 2 devices enable industry-leading, high-bandwidth host CPU-to-accelerator connectivity.
There's no way AMD isn't coinciding a PCIe Gen6 ready DC Platform with this. Venice / Zen 6 -> H2 2026 confirmed? 😆AMD Versal Premium Series Gen 2 development tools are expected to be available in Q2 2025, followed by the availability of silicon samples by early 2026. Production shipments are expected to begin in the second half of 2026.

Psychological barrier broken. I tried it again and this time I got 492. No 500 for me. However, it’s not a totally clean system. I have a few extra services running in the background.Nice, I saw the M4 reach over 500 in one of the YouTube videos. I’ll post in the web thread when I find that video again.
idk.. I used to think the same. Then I picked up old mining cards with twice the membw of what Strix Halo is supposed to have. 40GB of vram for $AU400 landed. So now I have a small gpu cluster in the works which I'll VPN into.Strix Halo makes most sense for one group of people and that’s LLM users.
Meh, I bet it won't be that expensive to the OEMs. Especially in a world where we have all these different companies making x86 gaming handhelds. And it should be a good bit cheaper than current gaming laptops having to deal with a dGPU.A 40 CU Strix mini PC won’t be cost effective as a steam Console. Better off building an actual SFF PC. More modular.
Strix Halo makes most sense for one group of people and that’s LLM users. Gamers are better served by mobile RDNA4/RTX 50 laptops/SFF PCs.

If the dGPU is wide enough (eg: RTX 5080) configured to run at 75W, I think it will be more efficient than Strix Halo in active heavy use.Systems with dGPUs will hardly be able to compete with Strix Halo in performance per watt below 75W.
This means smaller systems that can't have larger heatsinks will benefit from Halo's integration.
Yes. Nvidia allows OEMs to set their dGPU TGP targets. It's not uncommon to buy a thin and light gaming laptop with xx80 card restricted to 70/80/90W TGP.5080@75W ?
Is that even possible ?

So how are we feeling about this now? How do you feel about the product post review?The ship has sailed on Zen 5 already. I think the demand will be down for 9800x3d after a week. They really should set the price at $399. People building new systems or buying new computers have largely left the PC market.

Yup, they'd have been sold out I expect with a much higher price. The best of the best gets to charge the premiumThis post aged like milk~

Pretty good. I still think there is more performance to be gained and better efficiency through bios updates. AMD is rapidly fixing their Zen 5 issues with the 9800x3D.So how are we feeling about this now? How do you feel about the product post review?

I don't know, but I do not think so...very speculative question:
in what range is the 'gift' from Intel to Userbenchmarks? 6 digits?
Is he a software engineer as well or is there someone else that designs the benchmark software? He needs to be careful as his bias mixed with running a benchmarking software and site is not a good thing if he's worried about supporting his family. If he's not getting bankrolled by Intel for that bias, he may have some mental issues.I don't know, but I do not think so...
Userbenchmark is made and maintained by just a single 46 year old deaf free-lance web designer. He's looking for work to support his familie.
