The new Steam Deck is using 16GB LPDDR5 linked to a 20 CU RDNA 2 graphics core. It is not clear that we will get 20 CUs in a regular APU. Also, the screen is only 1280x800 60Hz (although you can link others) - so the performance may be slightly misleading. Most testers also weren't trying to run...
Or power, perhaps? PCIe 4 is more expensive. And perhaps the thinking is that AVX2 decode will be good enough.
It seems like it can compete with the best hardware decode performance-wise - at least, on one of the fastest CPUs.
(They've been pushing updates for older CPUs, too - my x120e netbook...
Please, no more. This should never have been done this way. Staff promotion isn't a "conversation" - you're not looking for a personal response, but engagement. My first impulse was to block, but staff cannot be ignored to prevent further unsolicited messages.
I have conversations email on in...
Some of the newer Spectre-style issues do, yes. In fact a few of those fixes are not enabled by default on Windows because of the cost.
Meltdown does not involve symmetric multi-threading, though; rather, it gets expensive for those older Intel CPUs because they won't have INVPCID (and maybe...
That's not really a specific enough choice. There is great variation in those large families of CPUs. A quad core is likely to be faster than a dual core nowadays, but other than that they can be closely matched.
But an AMD chip is likely to be far less impacted than the Intel equivalent of its...
. . . is about their CPU testing tool. It's bad, but it's not the CPUs themselves, just if you have the tool installed - presumably because it enables admin access to anyone.
Just upgrade to the latest version - or better yet, uninstall it if you don't need it anymore.
You should be worried, but mostly because it may degrade performance enough that you regret not shelling out for the higher-specced model at Apple's markup.
