AMD would just split it between 16 Full Zen Cores + 32c Zen Cores + 4 NPUs for dedicated basic AI. So technically the same 52 core count; but trading the 4 low power efficiency cores for extra AI optimization.

I just want that case. I hope they eventually sell it separately.

Reminds me of how the 2080 Ti blower variant is still selling with the modded 22GB memory straight out of China. Would be neat to see more memory mods done to more GPUs, including the low end.

Now if only Sony pulled back their Playstation division to Japan and went back to embracing more of the middle and low end games that made PS popular in the Gen 1-2 eras with a vast variety of titles large and small, that'd be great. And while they're at it, also going back to the time when they...

I'm reminded of this video, which talks about how most game devs now just crutch on UE's built in elements instead of trying to also properly optimize the game. Looks like there's been a bit of improvement in UE's attempt to improve performance, but I still wish game devs would also take time to...

Both the 12 and 16 core variants would have been perfect for non-Pro purposes; esp. for those who need more PCIe lanes than cores. Idly, it'd also be neat if they could have included 3D cache at least on the lower end too; if only to be able to pass-through a core complex alongside a GPU for...

You do realize that even though the Steam Deck and the Deck-alikes are also gaming systems, they've also been used plenty for non-gaming purposes; doing everything from being an overpriced FLAC music player to being a portable movie/streaming show player to being a laptop/tablet replacement...

On the subject of other uses I'd like to see piezoelectric cooling in, it'd be in wearables, such as helmets, headphones, VR/AR headsets, and even cooling vests, where even small amounts of airflow can make a big difference not only cooling electronics, but even the wearer, without having the...

I gave up waiting for the T30 140s and ended up just buying some Sunon 140mm high-static pressure fans to serve the same goal, running them at their lowest speeds since they still produce a lot of airflow without too much noise. Given I paid about 30 per fan, it'll probably end up being about...

About the only innovation is the small reservoir. Aquacomputing used to sell their old-school radiators with a pump attachment option, and Alphacool has also sold similar off and on. Now Blyski's premium brand, Granzon, has been doing it for a few years and the quality has been surprisingly...

The nostalgia nerd in me loves the ChronoMancy; having that bit of colored plastic and silver accents that was popular in the 00s. I used an old case that had space for 2 480mm radiators in a similar manner; having cut large holes in the side panels and using 2" thick MERV filters to basically...

Adding to the list of Dual GPUs (and possibly missing it being mentioned), the Radeon Pro Duo had 2 Fury X GPUs and HBM1 was also a thing.

I'm in a nostalgic mood upon seeing the case color, and would like a translucent orange, teal, or blue plastic PC case, like the styles of the 00s.

The Blade Concept could make for an AMD style logo, with the right accessories.

I was considering it as an upgrade, but I'd like to have less things that I'd have to "wear", as well as store awkwardly (it would also free up a drawer I used to keep my old model wired SoundSlayer in when not in use). And given both are within the 250~ USD range, it'd be a matter of giving the...
