That's laptops.

No. One laptop, one tablet.

No, mobile parts existed long before Llano.

Not with embedded GPUs, and AMD was pretty much non-existent in laptops before Llano.

That would be Very True if stxH had GT4e levels of design volume.
alas!

Sure looks like it.

Why are you so fixated on niche Strix Halo laptops when $1600+ Strix Halo mini PCs are going through presale right now and are apparently selling out?

Name one tech or product line that flourished from being in many low volume mini PCs.

So there's three possibilities:

1 - amd's laptop sales/pr/planning team sucks

2 - amd's laptop sales/pr/planning team does good job but the game is rigged, OEMs continue gutting AMD laptop designs for no clear reason

3 - all of the above

Probably option 3. Which doesn't make 1 any less true.

AMD won _all_ of the designs (that is, 100%) of x86 quadchannel notebooks. And did so at their first attempt. :-P

Not if you count dGPU memory channels. If you do, it's a terrible loser against all the designs with 128-256bit dGPUs.

but if I put it on my lap, is it a laptop? I mean I had tablets to which I couldn't connect a keyboard, but now I have a smartphone to which I can, since it is a computer I think, then it would make it a tablet. And if I put it on my lap when doing so, it will become a laptop? Crazy world.

Nope, laptops have components like main board and SoC below the keyboard deck. Come on guys, this should be common knowledge by now
 
that ASUS design is very smart. Pretty much solves almost all issues with tablets and laptops. With the keyboard being fixed, it’s less wobbly and main board and battery behind the display makes it easy to use on the lap.

Rockchip RK3588 (and variants)? It was also heavily-delayed, yet the thing wound up in Orange Pi boards and will have successors. And that was low margin too. It's unclear what the volume will be for Strix Halo, but if it sells out and sees massive aftermarket markups then it'll be hard to call it a failure.

RK3588 became popular for RPi-like SBMs and IoT gadgets, mainly due to price. People don't really look at the RK3588 and think "what a nice miniPC I have here for my daily compute needs".

RK3588 is perfectly acceptable for a barebones non-gaming desktop PC, assuming you can run the software you want on it (which given that it's ARM, is not a given).

The point still stands. Let's not go any further down that rabbit hole before we start moving goalposts (and mixing metaphors).
 
VideoCardz speculated that Kraken Point 2 is 2+4 with 2 CUs (recovery bins will be 1+3/2). That would cut about a 1/3rd off of normal Kraken Point. No word on if it keeps the NPU...
