Oh come on, you really gonna claim that Computerbase is straightup lying to their readers and that Intel puts out kinda polished looking slides with footnotes for internal use? NVL is barely taped out yet and they are doing performance claims? Claim "leadership gaming performance" on a product...

You mean the 1.1×ST and 1.6×MT slide? That's still Panther Lake vs Lunar Lake and has nothing to do with NVL. Immediately after the Leak came out there were many people saying that NVL is wrong and Computerbase also wrote that the data matches the information they have for Panther Lake.

Calling N3B vs N4P/N4X (or whatever AMD really uses) is also quite a stretch. It's maybe a low single digit advantage for N3B at best, and with DTCO AMD might even have the better process. You could also argue that AMD has 33% more threads and so on. I would say ARL and ZEN5 are pretty much on...

If it's really N2P and N2X for nodes, won't it be like really late 2026 at best?

That might be completely true, but I don't see it being useful for me as a normal basic customer in the next few Years. If you work with it and actually know you can use it it is possibly great. Only thing I see is that I bought a Copilot+ PC in October and still have no Copilot+ functions...

Cheapest Yoga Lenovo presented at MWC (Slim 7) is also STARTING at 999€, with AI 7 350 being the top config. Also Krackan is said to be at least the same size if not bigger than Hawk Point, why would they sell it cheaper? Btw, AMD deleted all Die size measurements from their spec sheets when...

Yeah I normally don't look at these load tests. It's not a real battery test, more of a test which manufacturer puts what TDP in standard mode. Pretty useless in my eyes, let alone the fact that 99% of x86 Laptops land below 2h, which is nothing. I looked at Video and Browsing tests because it's...

What I meant is that Krackans MSRP is the same as Hawk Points MSRP when it was new, has nothing to do with what Hawk costs now. It's a 1:1 price tier replacement, nothing more, nothing less. Like I wrote, in Zenbook 14 configs you can see that it is same price as Hawk Point and barely cheaper...

Because the 99Wh one is the only device in NBCs Comparison: There you go, also 125U with 512ALU iGPU might be an even better comparison for Krackan, but it also loses to Hawk Point with battery size normalized. And the 155H one might have a 140% bigger battery, but look at the results, 140% to...

I know that, but AMD decided to make it the successor of all Ryzen 5 and 7 parts and leave Strix at Ryzen 9 only. It will be compared to 8845HS because at the end of the day AMD themselves named and positioned it that way (15-54W cTDP).

Overall Yeah, its a cheap device that shoild be avoided, but in terms of APU stats? Maybe for battery Life, but the rest? It can run at least 40W sustained, judging by the sustained 70W device power draw in stress Test probably even more. Overall it lands where I expected it, but that's the...

Not really, this one is 999€ for a basic cheapish Vivobook with most basic screen without SRGB and tiny 40Wh battery. You can get Snapdragon X Plus Devices for much less (not that I want one of them either). I hate this NPU stuff so much, thx to MS we now get this abomination in <1k Devices...

First Test of Krackan Point: (German Notebookcheck). https://www.notebookcheck.com/Asus-Vivobook-16-im-Laptop-Test-KI-Features-im-Fokus-Produktivitaets-Boost-oder-nur-Marketing.960264.0.html Btw, Krackan Point Devices basically went available he same day Strix Halo dropped, at least in...

While that is generally true, we shouldn't wait for drivers to mature. AMD is a multi billion Dollar company, if drivers are garbage again than that is close to unacceptable. What you wrote basically sounds like we are at a point where it is acceptable for AMDs drivers to be bad at the beginning...

So we ignore the 56 vs 64CUs (+14%) and that theoretical performance and power draw is up ~35%?
