There's little point to it if the GPU is smaller/lower clocked. Basically what those upcoming handhelds want is a Zen 5 + RDNA4 SoC with LLC. Strix Halo is a bad fit for handhelds due to RDNA3.5 and also the typical <20W TDP.

That is his whole point on using the halo in the handheld
If you watch the video, one of his main points is that Strix Halo heavily downclocks the memory bus when running under ~30 watts. Future 256bit CPUs (either Strix Halo's successors or custom 256bit gaming chips) could heavily improve 20-25W gaming performance over Strix Halo by tuning the memory bus to run faster at lower wattages.There's little point to it if the GPU is smaller/lower clocked.

That would consume more power128bit LPDDR5X would give it plenty of memory throughput.
entirely pointless.He wants Microsoft/valve to order a custom apu/soc from AMD modelled on strix halo
how so?In fact AMD already told Valve to pound sand.
how so?
Valve's projected sales numbers must've been too abysmal for AMD to even consider making anything custom for them.In fact AMD already told Valve to pound sand.
That’s not how it works from what I understand. AMD’s semi-custom group will make anything you want for the right price. One question I have is if Sony and Microsoft are responsible for ordering wafers directly from TSMC and basically having their own WSA contracts?Valve's projected sales numbers must've been too abysmal for AMD to even consider making anything custom for them.
I guess Valve must now go to...
INTEL!
Six Skymont cores + enough Celestial cores to do 1080p 60fps with raytracing
Yeah it is.That’s not how it works from what I understand
Nope, you need baseline volume targets.AMD’s semi-custom group will make anything you want for the right price.
Gaben knows he can just wait for MS to cancel their own handheld and re-use the SoC.entirely pointless.

It's a byproduct of using a 1800p@120Hz OLED.That being said HP screwed up big time in the battery life test. Battery life sucks, esp video playback.
oh yeah if it does 120hz on battery at 1800p then it's nuclear holocaust for battery life under all circumstances.yep also the fact HP only offers 48hz or 120hz means you are stuck on 120hz. like wtf HP?
No 60Hz? That is so weird.yep also the fact HP only offers 48hz or 120hz means you are stuck on 120hz. like wtf HP?

Why? I haven’t noticed why it would be worse for local AI inference than Linux.Also Windows is a pain for AI.....
The VAST majority of customers have ZERO idea what's inside of the SoC. A few know the relative performance without understanding why. The rest of us on the forums make up such a tiny portion that they don't really care about us.
