You sure that is not a misprint? It also says 8 cores.
I guess it could mean 4 cpu and 4 gpu cores. If it is Carizzo though, seems way too expensive.
good question. Note that carrizo has 8 GCN clusters, so that also doesn't seem to be it.
I'd imagine be the less technically inclined would feel the same way with the specs info that we would require.I hate the dearth of technical specs from Best Buy these days. It also doesnt mention any discrete gpu, so that makes it even more confusing.
Well, mostly. The main other complaint I see is that they're only 15W and not 35W, but AMD has been pushing the chips as low power chips, that's what they mainly talk about in their presentations. So why would you need Intel to explain that OEM's are using this configuration?
And again, battery life is a bigger selling point than computing power and the Intel configurations of these laptops also have 15W versions.
Really, I haven't seen anything that can't be explained by actual logic (i.e., OEM's making choices based on their understanding of the market), and though I did call this 'stupidity', that simply because what sells well (or OEM's think sells well) isn't necessarily what takes full advantage of the technology. (Although if AMD is to be believed, running the chips at low power is precisely what takes full advantage of the work it's done.)
I'm sorry but if you think a secret conspiracy between Intel and OEM is in line with Occam's razer, you're completely misapplying it.
If we accept Occam's Razer, that the simplier answer is the better answer, we can conclude that OEMs don't prioritize AMD laptops because consumers don't prioritize AMD laptops.
Your explanation introduced a third party, Intel, needlessly.

now they advertise ddr4 and to the embedded crowd, who probably don't care. sigh...
Not for 2133MHz

http://www.amd.com/Documents/merlin-falcon-product-brief.pdfFirst embedded processor with dual-channel 64-bit DDR4 or DDR3 with Error-Correction Code (ECC), with speeds up to DDR4-2400 and DDR3-2133, and support for 1.2V DDR4 and 1.5V/1.35V DDR3
Then why are they even producing AMD products at all? They don't need AMD products in their lineup if all they're going to cripple them needlessly.
Did anybody already spot a Merlin Falcon retail board somewhere?
I will jump to the first 14" 768p FX8800P iGPU ONLY, 2x 4GB 2133MHz i will find.
At least Trinity has the un38 Asus.keep dreamin, oems like to give us what we don't want as long as amd is concerned. It's like it's done on purpose since trinity

There are a few boards out there but not for retail. Most are embedded or industrial.Did anybody already spot a Merlin Falcon retail board somewhere?
This thread started in October 2014 and finally November 2015 we might be able to buy this CPU for a desktop. Amazingly fast progress.
Anyone know if the Dell 8800p desktops also limit to low tdp?
