What are you using your laptop for? For lower power stuff I'd say Lunar Lake has an edge over Strix Point, but AMD will win in higher power tasks. Might be worth trying some laptops out in person to see how they actually handle in real life.

The 4090 mobile gpu uses the same die as the 4080. It’s basically a heavily power-limited 4080.

Apologies. By size I meant power, especially at idle.

I feel the reason the GB203 is as small as it is because it is about the largest size you can fit into a laptop (as the 5090 Mobile GPU). They choose to do this over making a larger 384-bit bus chip that would consume too much power for a laptop form factor. The GB203 serves the 5070 Ti, 5080...

I have a laptop with a 7840HS, which is basically the same as the 8700G and it works fine with CAD software such as Solidworks and Fusion. I think your friend will be fine with the 8700G, and they can always upgrade by adding a graphics card later.

I disagree. Upscalers in general are innovations that allow us to work around hardware limitations to achieve higher image quality for a given performance level. It's more cost-effective than brute-forcing with more compute, where the dimishing returns are becoming more and more evident. It also...

Are you implying that DLSS is unnecessary?

From the article:

The 5080M is basically a power limited desktop 5070 Ti while the 5090M is a desktop 5080 with 3Gb GDDR7 modules. Both have 256 bit buses. The 4090M is essentially a desktop 4080. I supppose this implies that the desktop 5070 Ti should slightly outperform the desktop 4080. For $750 that's not a...

Pretty sure these are just Alder Lake-N refreshes (i.e., still Gracemont cores).

I'm talking about Fire Range.

This is going to be a big problem for the laptop versions of these chips (again) :banghead:

In case you missed it, it's called the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 now ;)

It's Techpowerup, not DIYPCpowerup. Also, Lunar Lake is relevant for gaming handhelds, which I assume would garner some interest with the gaming-oriented audience. Plus, the P and E core architectures will be used in Arrow Lake.
