Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

[DisEnchantment]

Speculate at will

This is down to AMD to fix since it’s happening on ALL Halo machines regardless of laptop or mini PC. AMD cannot advertise this as a workstation class machine when it’s running Windows…

AMD sux at software, but the feeling was a bit different back in shoe-string budget era.

This Strix Halo tablet looks interesting. No mention on if it is battery powered, how big the battery is, or how heavy it will be. Ideally it would have one and be not all that heavy. It'd be neat to have something you can use as a tablet on the go for things like media consumption, yet just as easily game (even if you have to plug it in to do so).

There is already one from Asus: ROG Flow Z13. The first launch device for Halo. And people did not like it here.

The problem is availability and pricing i was looking for one and couldn't find it also i don't like OLEDs due to my experience with them and how i use my laptop

While the first part is regional and nothing could be done about it. The second part hmm, OLED SKU does not exist for ROG Flow Z13, I have checked on ASUS USA website, and my regional one, neither list any OLED SKUs

dunno where the best place to paste this, but some strix halo benchmark can be found here:

Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 "Strix Halo" w/ Radeon 8060S

Hello, I purchased an ASUS ROG Z13 Flow with the titled APU. This laptop will be used for college classes, I am studying computer science. Now, I ran some benchmarks and as of right now I am the only one to submit benchmarks with this processor to hwbot. I tried installing Ryzen Master...

literally 60% higher fps....... just flagship CPUs

this was basically unthinkable before

is there a solid indepth explanation posted anywhere on the internet?

Really glad I can get that 160 fps in Baldur’s Gate for my fast twitch reaction times. I bet you’ve never seen anyone noscope 360 in a turn based game before.

Are Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs worth higher power draw for gamers?

Higher than what ? less than any Intel contender, which there is none.

 

[StefanR5R]

In the year 2032 — if man is still alive — AMD will still offer AM5 CPUs.

Edit:
The three Ryzen 9/7/5 PRO 7000 models now also received corresponding Ryzen 9/7/5 PRO 9000 successors (65 W TDP, 12/8/6 cores).

It's year 2025 and we still get 14nm Skylake Chips 10 years after launch.

From the Zen 6 Speculation Thread:

SP6 tops out at 64 Z5c.

Oh. By now I was expecting SP6 to remain a Zen 4c one-shot venture.

Edge and embedded sockets just roll out slower. It's completely normal.

No nonsense overclock on a mini PC. I also loved how the video was free of fluff. Just right-to-the-point journalism. The best kind.

 

[CouncilorIrissa]

You may be right, I did not look at it in detail, just a glance.

But I don't think there are desktop AM5 based Kraken chips out yet, are there? And it would be quite strange to include it on a laptop.

@Joe NYC answering here so as not to pollute the QC thread

You don't need a desktop chip, SO DIMMs are supported by the laptop SKUs. Here's one for example

I've never seen ETA Prime described that way before. He just glazes garbage endlessly

are you still upset over stxH ASPs?
that's very sad my friend, very sad.

Nope, you may have me confused. I don't think I ever complained about its price. I have said even discounting it cannot save it. AMD simply should not waste silicon on that IOd. RDNA3 sucks even it its most "fixed" form and AMD was planning to keep shipping that garbage in 2026. Absolute joke.

 

[adroc_thurston]

I'm upset that RDNA3 sucks

how even.

and that AMD was planning to ship that garbage in 2025... and 2026...

idk it works.

 

[igor_kavinski]

idk it works.

You really HATE iGPUs. Or gamers. Or both

 

[adroc_thurston]

As in RDNA3.5 works.
It's damn solid gfx IP.

Feels like Intel Milking Skylake for 5-6 Years

no one cares about graphics though.

True OEM only cares about Cheapness
