NUCs are a niche of B&M shops - you really don't need mobility at a front desk. However, you need *some* mobility at nearly any other position.
* Being at home office for a day -> laptop
* Attending a meeting -> laptop
* Solving a cross-team project issues -> laptop
* Working from an office...
Pre-launch BD dividied the forum crowd to two groups:
* the hype train ppl - "all new architecture", "8 cores", "SMT killed by cluster", "FMA4!"
* the IPC fail ppl - "2 ALUs", "0.5 FPU", "16k L1D lmao"
On the other hand, Zen 5 has been hyped to the sky since that weird remark in that interview...
Zen 5 is somehow going to be somehow presented at Computex. That's June 3rd. Yet, nobody knows the real release date or availability.
Retail AM5 BIOSes are ready but samples are not leaking apart from that Strix Point Geekbench. Either this time there are some super advanced restrictions...
What has a server Zen 5 has to do with AMD Q1 results?
Turin comes in H2. There are going to be "30% more designs than Genoa" - at some point in 2024-2025. Ugh
Intel will happily keep selling their Emeralds through OEMs.
The linked article lists AMD 9554 averaging at 227W and Intel 8592+ at 289W. Peak power figures are 369W and 434W. That's not 50% in my books.
Anyways, Intel sold tons of Skylake servers vs Rome. OEMs do not care. Now Intel is way closer than it was in Skylake times.
Technical superiority vs Emerald Rapids? They are more or less the same, unless you aim for those super premiums - 96-128c. Also there are non-technical aspects like - Intel price war or AMD's OEM relations have always been bad.
Strix won't shake anything if they can't push it to the OEMs...
The problem is where is no universal "Linux" as a platform. There are completely different kernel + user space setups and their versions. Besides, anyone can configure and build their own kernel - optimize for latency, throughput, powersaving, or something else? Also the compiler flags can...
Judging by the usual AMD mobile market performance, there are going to be 1-2 "exclusive" (think overpriced weird) laptop models featuring Strix Halo.
However, it is great it is still on the roadmap and it might see the light of day.
This is strange. The open source ecosystem surrounding Linux is a nearly endless source of tinkering, tuning, hacking, and - most importantly - a way to "know how things work under the hood". Discovering new things and understanding how technology really works can be an exciting experience. No...
Well, how different is this new MLID's email slide from those older MLID's Zen 5-related ones? I haven't checked them side-by-size but they both present nearly identical info, right?
Nah, the rumor mill presented real killer IPC gains for Zen 4 back in the days. Nobody expected a ~11% IPC gain with a much steeper frequency gain. Relevant MLID stated: "above 20% IPC increase over Zen 3".
