I'm making a minimal effort by having a 3 minute display off timer, moving my windows around each day, and letting it pixel refresh when I take lunch or an afternoon break midday.
Between those 3 minor inconveniences it should last significantly longer before reaching a state like that, if it...
If you bought a 5800X3D 3 years ago or a 5950X 5 years ago, you have nothing you could upgrade it to. That seems to me to be counter to the very definition of "platform longevity".
I think releasing new variants of existing products on the platform really doesn't count for "platform longevity" to me. Releasing actual new products does.
Not to mention physical size, weight, and idle thermals of the chassis.
Oh, and the price. Pretty much every single thing about them is counter to the narrative he's been trying to spin here and in his "desktop is dead" thread.
It's gotten old.
He will continue to pretend there are not significant compromises or tradeoffs that make a behemoth 6lb+ laptop with desktop parts shoe-horned in a non-starter for the majority of people.
It fits a small set of use cases, and when you have one of them it serves it well and you're willing to...
I looked at every single 800 series board I could find when they came out and found none that made the lanes available for two m.2 slots (some share the x16 slot lanes with additional CPU m.2 slots, but that's not dedicated lanes). Every board I could find with a block diagram available has the...
Hopefully if they go that way, the new chipset links at pcie 5.0 so there's more bandwidth to support USB 4 in addition to the other peripherals typically hung off chipset lanes. 4.0 x4 is extremely constraining.
Hypothetically dual LPCAMM2 should have given the ability to have 2x128 bit modules and modularity/socketability.
The issue as I understood it described by Framework was that there was no way to physically place two LPCAMM2 modules to get good enough signaling the way the package was designed...
Desktop 128 bit bandwidth would severely constrain the GPU to the point additional power is probably pointless. I guess it would get you higher all core CPU clocks?
