Dang, yet another partner on the stage...

For the record, I'm still drinking my beer, but it's not even because of AI, it's because I'm getting bored. So bored that I'm doing work on the side right now... got some stuff I needed to catch up for this upcoming week.

Should be thankful Microsoft didn't push for NPU's on the desktop.
That "feature" needs to be totally... recalled
I think 16% is underwhelming, and deff worse than Zen 4, but I also don't think it's atrocious.
Also, do you guys notice that the perf uplift in gaming seems to be... weird? Their comparison vs the 14900k (at least from that videocardz leak) is like 13% better on average, which would mean that it's 25-30% better than Zen 4.
Frequency while gaming will matter. My 7700X may have a 5.4GHz boost clock but it was lucky to be hitting ~5GHz in gaming workloads. If they combine +16% with at least some frequency gain that could explain the difference.

Impressive numbers, it will be interesting to see how the X Eilte and Strix compare in independent testing.
did AMD really compare HX370 to the base M3? Not even the M3 Pro. Apple might be the laptop leader this year with the M4 Pro/Max

Perf improvement is still largely enough in respect of the present and future competition, on the mobile department that s a no contest, a Core Ultra 185H has to be crancked at roughly 90W to barely match a 12 cores Strix Point at 35W, no wonder that they got that much design wins.

Lol.

I doubt it. Wider cores don't normally miraculously clock higher with a relatively unchanged node.

Isn't this always the case for every new laptop chip

Yeah, but I note they don't include that in any of their slides so it guzzles more juice than the Elite which probably means more fan noise and less battery time.
