So, this is insanely stupid behavior from an insanely stupid country. Forcing recall to be optional is one thing, banning it is another.Recall drawing regulatory scrutiny in the UK — Microsoft's AI Copilot+ feature a 'privacy nightmare'
The UK governmentt is "making enquiries" with Microsoft.www.tomshardware.com
What you guys make of this? might recall be banned in some places in the future
nope it’s too early. LPDDR6 is not coming this year.So the rumour is that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will debut LPDDR6 support.
Samsung keen to start making LPDDR6 RAM ahead of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 release
The Korean company, along with SK Hynix, wants to be ready by the end of 2024. Samsung and SK Hynix are working together to get a certification on LPDDR6...m.gsmarena.com
This means there is a high probability that X Elite G2 will also leverage LPDDR6, and not LPDDR5X/LPDDR5T as I previously speculated.

Based on the leaked Dell roadmap and official TSMC timeline, here's my node speculation:
X Elite G2 [2025H2] : TSMC N3P
X Elite G3 [2027H2] : TSMC A16
8G4 [2024Q4] : N3E
8G5 [2025Q4] : N3P
8G6 [2026Q4] : N2
8G7 [2027Q4] : N2P
And the low resolution isn't helping eitherThe red text on blue background with JPEG artifacts on that roadmap is remarkably horrible.
In terms of % improvement how much? Or just snappier in general?Spoiler: There are indeed some substantial improvements. Commenters under the video running older chips such as the 8cx Gen 2 also said they saw improvements after installing Windows 24H2.
Before/After updateIn terms of % improvement how much? Or just snappier in general?
And here's the source:I didn’t see this mentioned, so I will mention it: Dell’s upcoming ARM-based XPS laptop will be the first laptop with a tandem OLED display.
Interviewer: Apple had its moment a few years back when it transitioned away from X86 into Arm processors. Is this the moment for PCs to do the same?
We hope that is the case.
I guess I’ll say — sorry. I think in terms of a significant shift in what is capable on a PC? Yes. Arm-specific? No. Okay, I think what Arm brings is power efficiency. And Qualcomm has you know a great set of libraries to pull from a CPU/NPU perspective. And so we certainly wanted to lean on that, but we don’t look at the PC space as all Arm going forward
Haha. He's alluding to Microsoft increasing the TOPS figure in the future.Just to confirm: there is a minimum TOPS [trillions of operations] requirement for a Copilot+ PC? Is that true?
Ostrum: Yes. 40 TOPS. 40 TOPS is the minimum, okay. And I think as we as we go forward… Well, I’ll leave it at that. 40 TOPS
So Microsoft want to bring the Copilot+ experience to lower price points too?We’re seeing new Surface Laptops, new Surface Pros. AI is here. How will AI influence hardware design going forward, besides just what’s inside them?
It’s a good question. We talked a little bit about making sure that these devices don’t just show up at the premium space but also that we can get into lower price points and commercial, too, with slightly different drivers for those two dimensions.
We see some different requirements from our commercial perspective: number of ports, screen treatments etc. Price points. Lower price points typically come with smaller screens, less features. In the past we’ve done a mixture of plastics and metal enclosures for those things, relatively straightforward there in the near term. For us, it is about getting the Copilot+ experience across the entire portfolio.
There’s a reason these X Elites with higher clocks must low yields. Otherwise it’s not smart to segment like this.That X1E-78-100 shouldn't exis
Hope they update the PC Health app or something else in Settings to benchmark the PC's TOPS performance. And maybe also mention if the TOPS of all available devices (CPU/GPU/NPU) can be combined to meet the minimum requirement.Haha. He's alluding to Microsoft increasing the TOPS figure in the future.
Apple never claimed to invent Tandem OLED. Don’t people know by know who invents new display tech?And here's the source:
One other I like to point out. The Surface buy page has no information about the CPU you are getting!Microsoft is doing stupid things, again:

This is why Qualcomm shouldn't have had any X Elite SKUs without Core Boost.
That X1E-78-100 shouldn't exist.
THEN THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN CUT DOWN AND SOLD AS X PLUSThere’s a reason these X Elites with higher clocks must low yields. Otherwise it’s not smart to segment like this.
That aptly explains their target audience. People who don't care about specs!One other I like to point out. The Surface buy page has no information about the CPU you are getting!
doesn’t list core count, no GHz (very important since these chips are clocked all over the place) and no memory bandwidth/speed listed. Like who is the buy page for, toddlers?
No.Hope they update the PC Health app or something else in Settings to benchmark the PC's TOPS performance. And maybe also mention if the TOPS of all available devices (CPU/GPU/NPU) can be combined to meet the minimum requirement.
Well, that's just wrong. I think on Intel laptops, that is possible on Meteor Lake due to their advanced software support (OneAPI?). AMD, not sure and probably not possible at the moment.
Someone on Twitter pre-ordered just as soon as the pre-order page came up - and got July 3 ship date. (From Dell)But the devices will be on store shelves by June 18th, which is technically 2024H1.
