Nuvia is seen as that much of a threat?Nuvia/Apple/ARM in that order exactly.
Windows in Arm and Snap X Elite will receive an insane amount of push in the 2nd semester of this year. MS themselves will be the ones spearheading and trying to increase Windows on Arm adoption as part of their AI PC push. AMD will be fighting to keep WoA at bay, so that x86 marketshare keep stable.Nuvia is seen as that much of a threat?
I thought ARM was mostly a meme.
I would gladly answer your question if I knew what Cac or "clock mesh power" were.Because it's not free, at least? What are you gonna do, for example, with the supposed 30-40% Cac increase for a wider core, or with the corresponding increase in clock mesh power? To even get close to the efficiency of the previous gen's they have (had?) a hell of a lot to optimize
Oooooh. I didn't realise MS was this powerful even against Intel/AMD.There's a reason why AMD and Intel are fast tracking the release of their x86 competition against Snap X Elite (Strix Point and Lunar Lake).
yea about that lmaoOnly reason people are gonna get WoA laptops is the battery life.
Any more reasons? Or is the battery life advantage gone because of Zen 5?yea about that lmao
Wouldn't be surprised if Elite X starts eating way too much power past a certain performance requirement.Any more reasons? Or is the battery life advantage gone because of Zen 5?
Less of a delta than Qualcomm would like to have.Or is the battery life advantage gone because of Zen 5?
Could Zen 5 be THE CPU of this decade?Less of a delta than Qualcomm would like to have.
Applies to Lunar-MX too!
So fierce competiton and price war.AMD will be fighting to keep WoA at bay, so that x86 marketshare keep stable.
Don't think QC will have any 32 thread monster to challenge 9950X.No $999 CPU price, and fast dropping prices after launch?
no?So fierce competiton and price war.
still coping?No $999 CPU price, and fast dropping prices after launch?
But they have to consider pricing of all CPUs in the Zen5 range.Don't think QC will have any 32 thread monster to challenge 9950X.

The Arm meme may be a meme, but it is a popular meme, people will buy Arm stuff largely if they can, hoping for far better perf or efficiency. And when they don't find anything better, they'll convince themselves that it was a good investment and that x64 would've been worse. It could be serious.
They've been trying.MS is going all in on Arm.
oh no. no.And so are others OEMs (Dell, Samsung, Lenovo, Asus, etc)
Anyone with a serious need for 32 threads will get the 9950X wayyyy before it's heavily discounted. And the lower core ones will sell regardless because they will offer the best ST performance per dollar.Then the higher core count CPUs will be left unsold, requiring a price drop eventually anyway.
he's just coping and for some reason refusing to buy a threadripper.Anyone with a serious need for 32 threads will get the 9950X wayyyy before it's heavily discounted. And the lower core ones will sell regardless because they will offer the best ST performance per dollar.
Why would 32 thread CPUs be any difference in this regard. You might as well say the same for the lower core count variants.Anyone with a serious need for 32 threads will get the 9950X wayyyy before it's heavily discounted.
Anyone willing to spend more than $500 on a CPU either has too much money to spare or their work depends a lot on having the fastest CPU available to save them time. Both types of people won't care about the $999 price tag as long as they can afford it. In the absence of competition, they will consider the extra money as well spent.Why would 32 thread CPUs be any difference in this regard.

The AI PC push by Microsoft is across all Windows client PCs.AI PC push is mainly targeted towards driving adoption of new laptops or novel mobile designs by consumers.
Then why did AMD drop the price of the 7950X the most of all the Zen4 DT variants soon after release?Anyone willing to spend more than $500 on a CPU either has too much money to spare or their work depends a lot on having the fastest CPU available to save them time.
