    Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

    Well the bottleneck is real for any igpu, even Apple can't do magic, that's also a main reason why AMD didn't scale them up even further besides that the market is potentially to small... so what's the catch? Does the M1 have quad DDR4 channels with advanced compression? Otherwise they would...

    Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

    It does kick ass... but most definitely because the competition never planned for creating something that was more powerful in a consumer igpu. They are all constrained by the current ram bandwidth. AMD could have made an HBM2 soc or a consumer sold product based on the XBOX/PS5 soc's, but they...

    That's with being on a smaller node and without a screen. I'm not that impressed actually...

    Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

    With all the hype surrounding M1 due to some geekbench scores and vague marketing and Apple fanboy hype, it's bound to become disappointing. Yes it's a great product, but probably less so than it now seems. We will see soon I guess.

    Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

    The Ryzen processors are more aimed towards server like workloads and this reflects in the Geekbench score details. And the A14 is aiming for consumers and does everything to speed this up by use of their neural co-processors and accelerators and having memory more close by. Performance of the...

    AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G APUs performance unveiled

    Dual graphics are a things of the past most likely. I never really understood why people would buy a second weak GPU along with their APU, when spending a bit more would give you better results on average.

    AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G APUs performance unveiled

    This is good news and indicates we will be able to get higher RAM oc's compared to Ryzen 1x00. Perhaps an oc to 4000mhz is in the realm of possibilities with 25% more bandwidth compared to 3200mhz.

    AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G APUs performance unveiled

    I agree. Construction cores are not worth it. The price/performance difference is to big in advantage towards the 2200G.

    AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G APUs performance unveiled

    Nope, except for SFF and/or cases where no option for dgpu is there. I have a In Win Chopin case ready for either a 2200G/2400G. I really like to tinker with apu's and getting the most out of them. Getting ram to as high as possible and see how I can get the best result with a game. Perhaps it's...

    AMD Raven Ridge 'Zen APU' Thread

    We have seen earlier results from SiSoft with Ryzen mobile running 800mhz. Vega should be able to scale higher then earlier arch's, but might still be thermally limited. If we account for 800mhz and a linear line we would see it be ~60% better then the Iris Pro bench, without account for boost...

    AMD Raven Ridge 'Zen APU' Thread

    Since an unlocked APU will probably be there, and Vega can clock higher we can safely assume this will become a possibility.

    AMD Raven Ridge 'Zen APU' Thread

    Well I am one of them. I have a small case (In Win Chopin) where no dGPU fits in. I know from a functional aspect a dGPU would have been better, but I like this setup and the idea of an APU. I'm also a casual player and am satisfied with lowering settings for games to be playable.

    AMD Raven Ridge 'Zen APU' Thread

    Actually that should fit the bill on an APU. An A10-7870K is between a R7 240/250. Which is between 30-65 TDP. I think some people here are underestimating low GPU's/APU's. Sure you can't play most of the latest games on 1080p/60fps, but 30fps with moderate settings is sufficient for most...

    AMD Raven Ridge 'Zen APU' Thread

    It is perhaps unlikely yes. Here is some hoping AMD will improve RAM compatibility, since dual ranked RAM has better performance then single ranked (~2 fps on average) for an iGPU. And high speed RAM also is important to lower the bottleneck current APU's are facing. 3200-3600 speeds might be...

    AMD Raven Ridge 'Zen APU' Thread

    What do you expect for the iGPU performance for Raven Ridge on desktop? I hope for a bit more then Polaris RX 550 performance, but that is entirely dependent on Vega performance and how good it's compression is to save bandwidth.
