Not "maybe". And not just in the USA.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.
Maybe in USA.
My laptop has a 780M IGP.Its enough starved, that the system will have even more trouble feeding even larger iGPU, without SLC.
And this is based on what?Not "maybe". And not just in the USA.
Its unfortunately global reality. Maybe you are lucky enough to not live in this bubble.
Based on my experience in my personal work life, my friend's life, my family's life, based on surveys, based on discussions with people I know who work for big software companies.And this is based on what?
In my company we don't have a single Mac. Everything is Windows laptop.
Ok, doesn't mean everywhere would be the same, but If you say something then at least write what is this based on.
I can write the same about Windows laptops here in Europe.Based on my experience in my personal work life, my friend's life, my family's life, based on surveys, based on discussions with people I know who work for big software companies.
Macs are go to solution in 80% cases there.
I am talking about Europe, as well .I can write the same about Windows laptops here in Europe.
Apple has only about 10% market share of the shipped laptops. So It can hardly be dominant system in corporate as you want me to believe.I am talking about Europe, as well .
I highly doubt that appropriate price.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 well
The issue with that is the game selection is limited, no?In games that have native versions for Mac, and windows, like World of Warcraft, M2 Max is equivalent to 4060 desktop.
We are talking about real world games performance.
Kek. In my country, this statement couldn't be farther from the truth.Not "maybe". And not just in the USA.
Its unfortunately global reality. Maybe you are lucky enough to not live in this bubble.
I mean it is the price in MalaysiaI highly doubt that appropriate price.
And RDNA4 will be also out even before Strix Halo.
Strix Point + RDNA4 could end up as a better option for gaming.
Actually, I have to disagree. it depends on the TYPE of work. Those that use laptops/desktops in an office env, its windows. For certain audio/video work, I bet its APPLE.Not "maybe". And not just in the USA.
Its unfortunately global reality. Maybe you are lucky enough to not live in this bubble.
I am talking about Strix Halo in this case.I mean it is the price in Malaysia
Computerbase measured an incredible 7-8% uplift going From DDR5-5200 to DDR5-7200 on the 8700G.My laptop has a 780M IGP.
There are faster LPPDR5 than just 6400.
8500 would have 32% higher BW.

P.S. There is even that LPDDr5t with up to 9600gbps
38.5% higher BW and you gain only 7-8% of performance.Computerbase measured an incredible 7-8% uplift going From DDR5-5200 to DDR5-7200 on the 8700G.
Why would anyone pair Strix Point with only 6400mbps memory?If RDNA3.5 doesn't change something about bandwidth usage I could see Lunar Lake coming close or even trashing Strix in iGPU perfomance while being a whole power tier lower. I don't see Strix being any faster than Phoenix with same RAM. Meanwhile Lunar Lake has at least 8MB SLC and the iGPU probably has additional L2 as well. And memory is on package, so LPDDR5x-8533 is guaranteed.
In high-GDP coutries (US, West EU, China?) Macs are usually used by developers for a simple reason - Windows don't feature Bash (WSL not counted). The rest of the world uses a mix of Mac/Linux/Windows.And this is based on what?

I don't expect LNL iGPU to beat the base M3 iGPU vastly.Meanwhile Lunar Lake has at least 8MB SLC and the iGPU probably has additional L2 as well. And memory is on package, so LPDDR5x-8533 is guaranteed.
You did prove one thing with your post.Everybody needs to work productively - comfortably use one or more applications to achive their goals - without being annoyed by the OS. The Mac/Linux experience is usually way less intrusive compared to Windows.
Then what is purpose of Radeon 880M?No chances .
780M is already HEAVILY bandwidth starved. Let alone a GPU with 33% more ALUs, and zero SLC.
Then what is purpose of Radeon 880M?
To be even more limited by memory bandwidth?
Somehow it would be strange, if the only purpose of 880M is better efficiency and not higher performance also.It would be more power efficient to have extra CUs and lower clocks.
depends on LPDDR clocks. 8840HS can run at 7500 MT/s, if Strix can run LPDDR memory at ~10000, it's gonna be fineThen what is purpose of Radeon 880M?
