Mainstream consumers buy laptops.
Laptops need infinite amount of more 1T perf to make day to day javascript piles run faster.
I wonder what type of Javascripts are those? Have you personally faced performance issue with Javascript? Well, you could try adblockers if that is the case. Regardless, modern browsers are well multi threaded now. MOAR cores will helps you keep 100s of tabs open.

Another way to think little cores as Multi-Thread accelerator instead of Intels's definition of background runner.

MST gets you bogged down over a session. All these dynamic services will slow your experience down the longer you are in session with an active window or tab in the foreground or background.

We're already at 170W TDP. Have you not noticed how consumers are complaining about that?

You want to bump it to how much now, 300W? And for what reason, when you can achieve the same MT performance at lower power consumption by using b.L instead?



It's not either or. You can do b.L while still getting better IPC. Look at Apple for example.

So why do you think Apple is using b.L on DT? They are certainly not cost constrained.


Apple have b.L in their desktop/workstation CPUs too. The Mac Pro (do not mix up with Mac Book Pro which is a laptop!) as I mentioned uses Apple M2 Ultra chip which has 16P/8E cores.


I want whatever CPU fits my needs at the lowest possible cost. Same as everyone else.

I don't care if it's Intel, AMD, or something else. If AMD does not increase MT performance sufficiently (which most likely requires core count increase), I might have to go with Intel instead in the future to get better MT performance. And if none of them provides it at a reasonable cost, I won't upgrade. Either way, not sure how that is a win for AMD.
What's the attraction to the <redacted> cores?

My Teams is always active in my work Laptop and never closed, yet I never felt like what you described. If you are talking about Teams bugs, then of course there are plenty of bugs. But it won't get resolved by increased 1T performance.
Besides, 30% increase won't make tangible improvement in user experience.

With my experience it will bog down. It can be minimised if you run a script blocker or ad blocker that kills anything the site tries to send during an active session. After around 8 active hours my ad blocker will show me it's blocked close to 800-1000 items. If you use the desktop app idk how the performance is. we use the web app at work. That may have changed but I couldn't tell you until early mid 2024.

I am using desktop app, so I can't speak about web app which I never used. Anyways, browser is not suitable for continuously running of complex applications. Is there any corporate policy blocking the use of desktop Teams app?

Beats me. If there's a web app the web app is used for anything. I suspect it's a time same for the it dept not to deal with software updates vs a security issue.

I used to joke about this but it's become reality. JavaScript performance in V8 is now the number one most useful trait a CPU can have. Because Electron bloat ate everything.

Yes it would.
I don't know about others, but any app that doesn't launch just about instantly, given the processing power, fast memory and fast SSDs I have, annoys the heck out of me. Games and VMs excepted.

You should both explain this to M$ and their new Outlook version :/
I don't know about other people's preferences. but I always run Outlook in the browser, but Excel and Word as full desktop apps.

Maybe more people have similar preference and MSFT putting more emphasis on Outlook side to the web version.

It is also possible that a very large subset of customers doesn't have full office, and Web is the only version to access their Outlook.

Outlook is one of the office products I have the least troubles with. It's not as solid as Excel, but beyond needing an occasional restart I've not had any issues with it.

Maybe the web client has gotten good, but the last time I tried it I wasn't impressed. It's not as awful as gmail's web client, but I'd rather just use my phone over the added hassle if I'm not at my desktop or don't have my laptop with me.

Don't know where your email comes from but just last week, a user's Outlook stopped receiving email from Microsoft 365. Tried everything. Nothing worked. The IT guy was almost ready to nuke the PC from orbit and re-install from scratch. I suggested that he repair it. Miraculously, a restart later, it started working.

Another user, also getting email from 365, will stop receiving emails intermittently. The emails show in Outlook Web but not in his desktop Outlook. He will close it, start it a few times and suddenly, it will start fetching emails.

In my brief 9 month stint as an IT support assistant at one company, the two most troublesome issues used to be printers and desktop Outlook malfunctioning. That company used Microsoft Exchange and there were some tricks (forgot all of them) that I used to fix their recurring desktop Outlook issues. This was in 2007. But judging by what I saw in Outlook 2016, I don't think Microsoft devs are touching the core codebase. Just a UI overhaul, some extra features and ship it with all the accumulated warts of decades.

I don't know what the backend is for email, I just use Outlook as a desktop client. The only time I had a real issue with it on my desktop was due to not updating it in forever and needing to go through a lot of dependencies. Can't recall ever having any serious issues with their Mac/iOS clients and I've been using those for quite a while as well.

If they suck as a service provider for their email, that's a different matter all together. In that case it probably doesn't matter even if you're using Thunderbird or some other desktop client.
