yeah and perhaps Lenovo anyways 60% of the performance with a 15W(20-25W usage?) configured APU versus 15 + 32W (15-20 + 30 W usage?)
Is actually not bad if only the user could choose the performance setting. Power efficiency isn't everything if the game you want to play doesn't run.
Unless that editing and especially the rendering steps are gpu accelerated that is a cpu based task in general. I think an Intel proc would do better though I would like to note that you should get a real i7 not some wimpy dual core ulv.
Yeah because battery life while gaming totally doesn't matter and Intel + Nvidia is a viable combo, right?
At 50W continuous it will be drained in 2 hours I much rather have it use 25W at 20% less perf and get 4 hours. Viable alternative as if it exists yet... Maybe with HBM + Zen APU in...
Is that why OEMs save 5 dollar on a screen because saving so little on such a major thing is really stupid. They could sell for more even to a price sensitive crowd oh and guess what they put them on bayfail notebooks that cost even less. I wonder why.
I must by the way really be an AMD...
Probably because they are built by those OEMs and are therefore garbage. Nobody wants a generation old amd laptop built of the cheapest materials the could find.
Allegedly they want to sell their old junk of which they have packed warehouses. So they delay the launch of their new products for half a year.
OEMs are horrible to the consumer in every way. Even if you want to buy a NEW notebook they won't let you.
Well the 15" fx-8800p based Acer is available now. It will be cheaper at notebookbilliger where it's not yet available. Not sure whether I want to wait for Asus and HP to finally release their fx-8800p notebooks...
I'm going to be crying my eyes out if they talk about just Carrizo on Hotchips rather than also somethings about Zen. Also the fact they have so much inventory while they know when the parts in their supply chain will be available to them and their internal production/design times are known is...
The only Frage I have left would be when is it going to be available in Germany. I like the Envy even without the 1080P screen as I could add that myself if needed. Also I'm sad that it can't run above 15W even when I command it to. Crappy cooling which I could also solve but there is still that...
Dependent on usage case the average is about 40% increase. Though those are framerates the frametime story may be very different. Did the frametime decrease proportionally I don't think so.
Sure with DX's unbalanced CF abilities the picture will be different but who is going to buy a laptop to...
You could get the HP Envy and swap out the HDD, ram and screen and have your desired config. Though not in that price be glad that you can already get things cheap in the US though :oops:
I doubt that this is true unless you are comparing to those top of the line + L4 units. Which not only cost 600 for the chip alone but far more importantly consume like 50-60W while offering their respective performance. Might as well go Intel + Nvidia it's cheaper and more efficient.
Also...
People are mostly complaining about having to pay for a R7 M360 that does nothing really. Dual graphics is mostly a bust. As for pairing a dgpu with Carrizo. Construction cores perform pretty poor in terms of cpu so I wouldn't want it to be my Achilles heel.
Of course if you use your laptop...
15W is optimal if either both are loaded but results in the cpu clock suffering mostly.
At 35W you can run the cpu portion at 2.1GHz rather than ~1.1GHz. And run the GPU at 600-800MHz rather than 500MHz. So yes in terms of efficiency it's less good than at 15W but it would make the difference...
A pretty sweet deal for 400 euros. I mean the screen is still meh but at that price ():)
This is what I'm eyeballing with the 50 euros cashback and perhaps the student program it would be around 620-650 euros.

Still the...
A smaller battery would reduce the weight obviously. By the way you can absolutely control the battery type and size if it's not enough just mount some extra cells in parallel and you're done.
The 840/940m is going to be consuming about as much as the entire Carrizo SoC configured at 25W so it...
It's the same price as the one in Germany which has a FHD screen. However that one in Italy has Windows installed while the German one hasn't. Thing is pre installed bloat/spy/mal-ware windows is the worst so I don't think it's a huge pro.
Yup NL here too. I got my fx-7500 based notebook from Germany it was a bit of a letdown though. This time around the extra 128SPs actually make sense since the bandwidth bottleneck has been reduced yet they are impossible to come by. 500 euros for a 8700p based notebook with 15,6" FHD screen is...
People already have the HP Envy(fx-8800p) in hand however it's locked to 15W
Saturn has the 17 inch fx-8800p based notebook available at a high price. Not sure why buy a 900 euro laptop which only plus is the fx-8800p.
For 900 euros you can get way nicer things as in better screen, SSD, bigger...
I wonder how the score for chassis is different yet they have the same chassis, right? Having had the 17 inch chassis in hand I can say that it's not really worth that high a score it's pretty flimsy.
Ah I see.
And yes you can almost certainly put 2 of those sticks in however they will run at 1600MHz when the laptop is configured as 15W according to the Stilt.
Doesn't really change the fact that Kaveri was not a good laptop proc really. Beema was good Kaveri just wasn't.
Those are Kaveri no Carrizo they are junk utter junk. I speak from experience what notebook uses 8W idle in 2014. That is what my old sandy bridge based quad core + GT555m used when idle I mean cmon.
As for the ram being 1x8GB with the Carrizo ones it figures
You can set when to switch of with a little registery hack. And 0% charge won't damage the battery that is just around 3.7V. It's not like it is possible to discharge beyond that as that would rapidly reduce capacity of the battery. Only way to do so is take the battery out of the laptops...
It are ordinary lithium polymer cells so 3.7V depleted and 4.2V full. 4S1P thus gives a voltage of 16.8 to 14.8 integration over that range times the capacity per range we get the total amount of energy in the battery.
It's probably 40 or a little more nothing special sadly.
False it is a Tonga derived chip comparing it to the R7 M260 showed that at roughly the same clocks the R7 M360 had a 15% advantage in Fallout Nv. (only game I tested)
But the 840M should be faster than just the dgpu anyways.
If only they would post some reviews so those that consider it an option could make a decision. Vicious circle much actually.
I find it funny how NBC talks about the A10-8700p as if they have actually reviewed it while they have actually reviewed a notebook that has it with poor power settings...
But that is with a decently built reference platform on which AMD and Shuttle spent money. We don't know if anybody will make a notebook with Carrizo that isn't horrible.
If they include AKKULAUFZEIT numbers on their full review we can easily calculate the average idle power consumption if we assume the battery does really have the listed capacity.
That HP laptop is complete junk who's idea was it to use a dgpu that adds like 25W and in dual graphics gives a 30% perf boost. Are they complete idiots why not just use just Carrizo maybe in it's full form. It's cheaper and better that way.
Tonga's efficiency is a joke and so is dual graphics...
Pretty poor results I know these are thermal throttling/low power settings but jeez that single core score.
As for the increasing ram is cheaper this way that is probably true for HP. The consumer wouldn't bother upgrading it because taking apart those HP pavilions is a huge pain. You have to...
Just saying for the average consumer worrying about picking up a penny notebook with half decent specs the choice would be obvious. Rather go Intel than something unknown
I don't think Carrizo will make any dent in Intel's material superiority in the market.

No OS but it's cheaper nonetheless. Also do you really think people would buy an AMD based laptop even if it was better in every way?
Nope...
People don't buy because they have informed themselves they buy...
