Claim that the Strix Point refresh called Gorgon Point will be coming to AM5.

I wonder if they are spinning a silicon version from the initial plans that didn't have an NPU, but did have a MALL cache instead? That would be... interesting.
Unlikely. If anything, I could see the AM5 products be where they dump the busted NPU dies.
If you look through the Dell web site of the commercial desktop, and their new AMD offerings, those are Phoenix AM5 APUs.
With a Gorgon Point, these same commercial desktops become CoPilot+ compatible.

copilot pcs and rebranding..... Waste of everyone's money and time. Dell takes the cake lol

With Dell's recent huge loses most likely due to sticking with Intel exclusively for many years, it's no surprise anything they do.
AMD launching Zen 5 Epyc on AM5. MSRP isn't too bad either.

There is still plenty of time before Zen 6 launches. They could even launch it after Zen 6. But based on AMD's earlier comments it seems they find the configuration questionable.
EPYC 4005 was launched yesterday.
Compared to EPYC 4004,
– there are no 4c, 8c-105W, and 12c-X3D models anymore,
– a 16c-65W model was added,
– TDP of the 16c-X3D top dog was bumped from 120W to 170W.
The 16c-X3D model is still heterogeneous, like its Ryzen counterpart.

Unsurprisingly the 16 Core models are a lot faster than the top Raptor Lake Xeon... since the Cinebench Accelerators wouldn't really work there.

😂 love the term Cinebench Accelerators
They are not merely "not really working there", they are altogether disabled by Intel in Xeons. (Always have been, in all small-socket Xeon generations since Intel put heterogeneous cores into the corresponding laptop CPUs.)

Nice one, also the AI 350 has same MT perf at 15W than a LNL boosted at roughly 32W.

Wow. Bye bye Looney Lake!

Oh no LNL is still a whole bunch more efficient for actually doing laptop stuff.
As long as it s not loaded, that is, if you just use it as a e-reader, otherwise once it s loaded with more than a single core it will drain 30W.

It's not gonna draw this much platform power on average. Boosts are very transient in normal use.
Also LNL 1t power is 12-15W iirc.
Even a browser like Firefox is multithreaded since ages, there s no more purely ST real tasks, so even with transients there will be several cores loaded.

Very true.
This is idle activity on my main laptop. Just tons of browser tabs in Chrome, Firefox and Brave.

Again, it's a transient workload.
Then you're not hitting 1t power at all. Next.
You re hitting 100% on several cores when just downloading a page with a 100-300Mb internet connection, so a transient but at full 30W on such a laptop.
adroc_thurston
Diamond Member
Not really, no, lmao.
You're not doing full 30W there over the full workload and most LNL SKUs are 17W anyhow.
Crikey, why do *I* have to defend Intel in a Z5 thread of all places.

mobile ivy bridge quad full power! released ~2012 still best mobile cpu of the last decade lol
im sure it still does basic browsing etc snappy
