Microsoft confirmed release dates for native ARM64 Adobe Premiere Pro, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects for Qualcomm Snapdragon laptops
A bit of a nitpick: My Brother laser printer is the best printer I have ever owned. I bought it during the pandemic and it is still working great. It is on the starter toner still, despite my family printing hundreds of pages. It is hooked up to my router and I have never had an issue printing from any device. No need to install bloated drivers either. It also can use third party toner, if needed.I hate Brother. Wireless never worked anyway. Only on Galaxy phones it does for some reason. And on Surface laptop.
It’s possibly also the SLC that was making the difference, like with A15 it has 32MB lmao. (A14, 16MB. M base chips? 8.)That's entirely possible. Even the same uarch that's clocked higher can score lower per clock in a memory bandwidth-bound scenario as additional clock cycles aren't doing anything.
Look, everyone knows it’s perf/GHz but it’s just a colloquial term now, it’s kinda similar to the “nanometer” process naming. Not entirely, because that’s a corporate name that can’t be replaced, whereas we can choose different descriptors for the actual “IPC” values (perf/GHz), but still. Most of us know by now that IPC isn’t really a proper term lol.As far as "IPC" goes,
I mean I agree, but for absolute performance reasons for example people get sloppy and will shift from “huh interesting IPC” to “what do you mean, AMD and Intel are like 20% ahead on perf vs [insert mobile laptop core from like QC or speculated future one, and I’m sure they’ll do this when MediaTek/Nvidia have a laptop chip too etc]” and cite charts “8@3 this when it’s practically parity or a smaller margin on mobile. And mobile is most of the client market and a majority of the money as well. You cannot have your cake and eat it too on that, lmao. If you want to talk desktops-only — fine, but that’s less and less of the discourse thankfully and deservedly. It’s just a humongous disservice.this is not massively different from what we have above.
But I agree we should only compare laptop vs laptop chips.
Btw: X4 is about 2.32 for specInt but compiler differences and choices always make this stuff more of a range. Still, a 13.8% SpecInt boost in a year from the Geekerwan data below with the same choices in runs. Pretty sure the MediaTek one with only 1MB l2 performs well too, barely different perf/GHz in GB5 and 6 for ex vs 8 Gen 3’s X4.This gives this (I hope I did not make errors...)

So Oryon is below x3 in int work/GHz.
Fastest bin + Linux. That's what it takes.Power is of course unrealistic, but the 1T score is likely realistic. It's just that the slide was done before QCOM got RDNA3'd.
Neither did 8cx g3.The first batch of Snapdragon X laptops does not come Qualcomm's historical strength.
5G Cellular
Cellular is too expensive anyway. No one wants to worry about their bill going up while browsing the internet, hence the preference for WiFi.Turns out, laptop usage model heavily gravitates towards places that have WiFi.
Who would've known about that right?
It's hella cheap where I live, just that I haven't had an itch for WWAN on laptops, like ever.Cellular is too expensive anyway. No one wants to worry about their bill going up while browsing the internet, hence the preference for WiFi.
Doesn't apply to many European countries. I pay 17,99 € for unlimited calls, texts and unlimited data (max 200 Mbps LTE). Like I've said before, using your phone as a hot spot has been a thing since Symbian was the hottest smartphone platform.Cellular is too expensive anyway.

Lmao no one cares about that until it’s cheaper on the margin and even then ultimately laptops are heavily WiFi oriented, also a tablet will have more appeal for 5G. JThe first batch of Snapdragon X laptops does not come Qualcomm's historical strength.

That, but again, laptop usage model heavily gravitates towards placing the thing on a table somewhere, and places with tables tend to have WiFi in year 2011+13.Doesn't apply to many European countries.

Is it piezo or just buttonless haptic stuff a-la Apple/ThinkPad Z?View attachment 101641
The new Surface Laptop apparently has a great touchpad. Even better than the Macbook Air, I hear...
Oh it's the same thing as ThinkPad Z13/16.Is it piezo or just buttonless haptic stuff a-la Apple/ThinkPad Z?
Should just be haptic from reviews, not those Boreas ones announced in 2021.Is it piezo or just buttonless haptic stuff a-la Apple/ThinkPad Z?
Yea it sucks we haven’t actually seen it yet afaict.Oh it's the same thing as ThinkPad Z13/16.
Still waiting for piezo wunderwaffen.
I have heard the 2024 XPS have piezosOh it's the same thing as ThinkPad Z13/16.

Too bad the XPS redesign took every bad thing from the bad MBPs and made it worse!I have heard the 2024 XPS have piezos
True.Too bad the XPS redesign took every bad thing from the bad MBPs and made it worse!
Garbage.
Not even, the lack of real function row is death/10.XPS13 is somewhat okay
XPSes never had super high power stuff, but yeah, ports are scarce post redesign.Measly TDP values (cripples the dGPU), and awful port selection.
It's pretty efficient but a poor panel either way in the age of 1800p OLEDs for $1300.FHD LCD screen on a $1800 16" laptop??
But the technologies seem cool. Guess someone's gotta pay the early adopter tax.Snapdragon 8G4 phones will be pricy.

Which country are you in?I pay 17,99 € for unlimited calls, texts and unlimited data (max 200 Mbps LTE).
