First Gracemont laptop available for sale.

Anybody got disposable $500 to buy and test this laptop?

Just to be sure I understood.
AVX is desirable, but in practice it's just a way to execute the same calculations that sse do, right? And because Tremont greatly improved SSE the performance uplift wouldn't be that different if it had AVX1, or something like that, right?

Gracemont is way better than Tremont, because of the much better architecture. AVX supports new instructions that SSE doesn't and in certain cases it will be better. The thing is though vast majority of applications are complex and won't benefit immensely even if it had support and took advantage of such instructions.

If Gracemont is roughly on Skylake level per clock then Tremont is Ivy Bridge.

then Tremont is Ivy Bridge.

Never thought about it that way. You are right!
