Indeed.Heh. So Apple M Max chips are also "Mobile Threadrippers"
There would be but the potential of having that much memory for the GPU is pretty tempting as well, especially for a Linux system...dangit though, since in that price range it will have to compete against the xx80 laptopsNot sure how high It will be priced, but ~2000euro is pretty likely in my opinion.
You kinda pay not for the IGP but for top CPU performance.
There will most likely be better options from pure FPS/$ ratio.
That doesn't look like a very widespread hobby for home users If you ask me.Large Language Models.
I always love when we talk ONLY about gaming, forgetting that use cases for APUs transcend gaming.
With 16 Zen 5 cores, 40 CUs, 32 MB of SLC and 256 bit bus Strix Halo fits more "Mobile Threadripper" description than just thin and light gaming on the go.
Tell that to Apple.That doesn't look like a very widespread hobby for home users If you ask me.
As for corporate, wouldn't a desktop be more cost effective?
I think yes.
MOBILE THREADRIPPER bro!!!That doesn't look like a very widespread hobby for home users If you ask me.

I think yes.
I would be very happy if it kills the reason for OEMs to pair a 3050/4050 with their "gaming" laptops.There will most likely be better options from pure FPS/$ ratio.
This Strix Halo has M Max class CPU + M Pro class GPU, with M Max class power consumption.Tell that to Apple.
Thats what AMD is competing with with Strix Halo.
Bold statement.This Strix Halo has M Max class CPU + M Pro class GPU
4080 is starting at 2400 euro in my shop and goes easily past >3000.There would be but the potential of having that much memory for the GPU is pretty tempting as well, especially for a Linux system...dangit though, since in that price range it will have to compete against the xx80 laptops
In the future, Qualcomm and Nvidia too may offer SoCs with big iGPUs with 256+ bit memory buses.At worst, low performing discrete mobile GPUs disappear from laptops.
At best, the company that wants to sell these crap chips with 6GB VRAM is forced to offer more performance for the same money to OEMs, to prevent them from seeing Strix Halo as an attractive alternative.
Why should I tell that to a life style company?Tell that to Apple.
Probably not unfortunately with the really low supply AMD has for mobile products, like for example the Ryzen 6000 was barely around, even when refreshed into 7x35 HS processors...just here's hoping they actually decide to supply a lot of these too, when looking at their non-existent competitive RDNA 3 dGPU offerings for mobile where Framework and ASUS has RX 7600 r 7700S and nothing else :/I would be very happy if it kills the reason for OEMs to pair a 3050/4050 with their "gaming" laptops.

4070 laptops are barely under 2000 in my region...just hope its priced appropriately since it also does sound like how AMD GPUs are generally priced as well4080 is starting at 2400 euro in my shop and goes easily past >3000.
Even many laptops with 4070 cost more than 2000 euro.
isn't the mobile and desktop about equal in performance for the 4060?
Because that lifestyle company dictates the narrative for business workforce. Recently IBM made a survey about whether people like working on Macs in workforce, and it turned out people tend to believe they are more productive with macs, compared to using windows laptops.Why should I tell that to a life style company?
Strix Halo has a more powerful IGP than 3050/4050, let's not talk about the paired CPU.I would be very happy if it kills the reason for OEMs to pair a 3050/4050 with their "gaming" laptops.

In games that have native versions for Mac, and windows, like World of Warcraft, M2 Max is equivalent to 4060 desktop.
most troubling imho besides the pricing is the supply, since AMD has recently not been able to provide competitive mobile dGPU offerings or dGPU pairing offerings, since Lenovo is only offering a Zen 4 Legion 7 this year and there's no telling if it would arrive in 6 months or in 2026/mid-2026 evenStrix Halo has a more powerful IGP than 3050/4050, let's not talk about the paired CPU.
Against 3050 even strix Point should be pretty decent offering, but that also won't be cheap.
Really? And the proof should be based on some survey?Because that lifestyle company dictates the narrative for business workforce.

No chances .Against 3050 even strix Point should be pretty decent offering, but that also won't be cheap.
Its better than having an opinion based on "my world perception".Really? And the proof should be based on some survey?
It's not as heavily starved as you think.No chances .
780M is already HEAVILY bandwidth starved. Let alone a GPU with 33% more ALUs, and zero SLC.
Its enough starved, that the system will have even more trouble feeding even larger iGPU, without SLC.It's not as heavily starved as you think.
You were the one who claimed Apple dictates the narrative for business workforce and as proof you gave an IBM survey about what their employees believe.Its better than having an opinion based on "my world perception".
Maybe in USA.What I mean is that Macs are still considered the go to solution for work.
