speaking of mx570's, whats the deal with low power mobile dgpus like the mx series & 6600m from AMD? i don't recall ever seeing a laptop in the past few years which includes them- instead they all seem to have high power laptop versions of desktop gpu's like 3050, 3060, etc?
launch? if rembrandt is any indication, these probably won't be available until mid 2024 at best. maybe by then we will have some good 6800U options too.
i think that depends on what one means by low end. there is certainly very little difference between a 4500U cpu & a 6800U cpu but the ipgu's are vastly different. personally i don't care much about the cpu speed of modern APU's as everything i do is far more impacted by graphics performance...
in my case i can play around 90% of the games i want to on my 4500U so the upgrade to a 6800U would allow access to the other 10% along being future proof against any new games.
i don't want a laptop with a dgpu though or i would do so. the games i play do not require anything near a 3050 so a 6800U is all the performance i need at this point. i think you are correct about amd competing with itself though so am rooting for intel to step up it's igpu game so consumers...
is this an AMD issue or the laptop manufacturers doing? it seems the majority of laptop users are all clamoring for 6800U options as this is by far the best rembrandt chip imo. if things don't get better soon, i think many consumers will look elsewhere & buy intel, perhaps for the first time...
i agree-rembrandt laptop availablity has been terrible to say the least, even in the US and especially for the 6800U. seems like rembrandt was targeted for handhelds & as far as laptops, it's merely a stopgap between cezzane & phoenix.
laptops are the way to go imo. small & portable they also come with keyboard, monitor, camera & microphone. i went from desktop to laptop only starting with the 200U and have not looked back. now if only i were able to find the 6800U model i want i'll be set for 3+ years until strix point.
i did consider a similar option & recently saw a 5800H + 3050 for $750 at microcenter but i would much prefer to stick with the much lower powered 6800U if possible. if december goes by & there are not the 6800U options i am looking for, perhaps i will start to look elsewhere. as a lifetime AMD...
it's not worth the upgrade from vega though. personally cost wise it would be better to go with a 5800U over a 6600u so really the 6800U is the sweet spot as far as prcie & performance for laptops imo.
wow, what an underwhelming list-thanks for compiling it though. the only 6800U's abpve 14" are $1,500 which is at least $700 more expensive than they should be.
this lenovo is an example of exactly what i am looking for but with 6800U instead of the 5800U it has...
great-more awesome products that no one will be able to buy for at least several years at best. it's been 9 months and it's still impossible to find a decent 6800U at a reasonable price, lol.
