Discussion Poll: Yes/No Full IGP version of mobile Ryzen 5 4600H?

One of the problems is, that OEMs sell the names/specs (like 'i7', '512GB', 'MX150', '16mm thin'), not performance. So for most users 4600G and 4600GH and even 4600U at 10W would seem about the same, because boost clocks are similar, and thread count is the same. Laptop market is a 'lemon...

Discussion Poll: Yes/No Full IGP version of mobile Ryzen 5 4600H?

I voted Yes. This is exactly what would be perfect for a machine I want: a cheap ultraportable (so-sub1,5kg) that is capable of light gaming, where I do not have to pay with money or weight for dGPU. Judging from current data of how Renoir boosts- ~30-35W (sustained power) would be best, because...

New AMD Polaris based GPU

Amazon does not give games- but Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse is available for the same £299 (but with game bundle) at Overclockers.uk

If a person does not care about picking up a game bundle that retails for €150-180- so can probably be resold for €70-90- then that 1€/month increase in power bill is the least of his worries.

Sorry, but I find you fighting strawmen, and soul searching more, than thinking or arguing logically in your posts. But regarding the Polaris30: Here is some very interesting undervolting info. They say, the aim was to drop the voltage while keeping the the clocks the same...

Not sure why you say that. At least in/around Germany, also in UK- AMD cards are much better deal. For example: cheapest RX580 8 GB is €199 with 2 AAA games, cheapest GTX1060 6GB- €225 and no games, and RX590 Fatboy- is higher quality card, also faster, costs €259 and comes with 3 highest grade...

Well, where I live- I have to set heating to keep at least 18C for ~5-6 months of the year. So 50-100W extra from a graphic card will not spoil my life, winter or summer. It will actually reduce my gas bill by a few euros. And this topic is about RX580, which is a 175W TDP card, so examples of...

I'm sorry, I don't get the message. Very confuzing to read about power efficiency being important. For whom? I understand it is important for the maker of GPUs and cards, because then you can make faster cards in absolute terms before reaching 300W+, which is hard to cool and can cause...

Well, AMD are competing with themselves in value- nVidia GTX1060 is not competitive when compared to same performance but lower price RX570/580 (+2 great games, + Freesync), or higher performance, similar price RX590, Vega56 (+3 great games and Freesync). And, AMD have sold ~100M worth of GPU...

When saying RX590 is $280, the same sentence should include the fact that for that price it comes with 3 games. Game bundles are usually not worth much, but it is impossible to discard the value this time- Devil May Cry 5, The Division 2, and Resident Evil 2 are all top games, unreleased...

That is not a very good advice- buying when you need it, not looking at the market or tech situation can get you a product that has been on the market for several years, and is about be be replaced by cheaper or better next generation. I usually advise in a bit different way: buy good product...

Even if they do come out at high prices (as a novelty item)- there is no reason for manufacturers to price them high- with all the board/cooler being the same. So, it should drop to prices similar to same cooler based Polaris20 level soon enough (with maybe a €20 extra, which is about equal to...

I'd say it's Pitcairn2. That one had a rebrand from R9 270X to R9 370 3.5 years after the first release of the die. Polaris is younger, only 2.5 years old at this point.

Maybe, to reliably get 9Gbps, it would require a better quality PCBs with different design/components- and AMD partners would rather not spend time and money on it, and instead- just milk current designs and offer better prices?
