They're waiting on Zen like everyone else.

That's why I said Zen man It only needs a few GBs 2 at most, and the point would be to give it all the memory speed it needs to perform, so you could have the SoC gaming rig for laptops. Currently that's the biggest bottleneck for an APU. aside from the weak CPU. Just look at how well the PS4...

Need some Zen APUs with HBM2 on die.

It gives you the advantage of smoother gameplay from free-sync even if the performance isn't all there. There's still currently no reason to buy an AMD based laptop, but the addition of free-sync and probably some purpose built ones with higher speed DDR4 is going to help out their performance...

There are $100 windows tablets with 1280x800 IPS displays, I think they can fit it onto a low cost laptop at this point.

The 1080p display isn't going to be for AAA gaming, more like LoL/Dota/CS:GO, and it's for the desktop part of it not really the gaming part, AAA games would need to be run at a lower resolution naturally As for the price, free-sync really doesn't need to add to the cost, since it's ya know...

The AMD solution would be way better off if OEMs start including at minimum a 1080p IPS Free-sync display with the APUs. Then there'd be at least some advantage to using it.

You start to lose scaling with memory speed because the latency becomes much higher, 2400mhz was nearing the limit for kaveri I think, as 2500mhz was only 5% better or so. As for quad channel, while that may be possible, it would probably be a ton of work to get working correctly, and the...
