A 15.6" laptop with high quality build and decent battery. Upgradeable RAM and nvme. A 4k IPS display with 100% adobeRGB. Top of the line Ryzen CPU and Vega 56 (aka Vega 10XL I think).
If someone makes that I'll throw my money at them.
greetingsIntel Atom based (Celeron/Pentium) has poor performance per clock and mediocre GPU
Greetings
But whattahell is going on with those LP parts? 2C/2T, 1MB cache, 28nm?
I don't care how powerful their iGPU is, the performance on those chromebooks will be so handicapped by the CPU that it's gonna suck just as much as any other low-end part they've made in the past 10 years...
There is a reason why Intel decided to double the amount of cache in their Pentium/Celeron lineup. Heck, even SD855 sounds like a better alternative to Intel than this badly aged garbage.That's been a norm in this segment since 2013 or so. Almost half of modern intel lineup consists of sub-10W Celerons, Pentiums, and Core Y SoCs (that includes overpriced chips in the new macbook Air, which essentially is a glorified dual-core Atom with HT and TurboBoost).
Especially great for schools and other myriad uses.
Could potentialy be hitting for it with failed 7nm chiplets later on? (or is there a technical obsticale that I have missed?)
NotebookCheck's page I think is the best proof of this

Even if they where Kabini, 2 cores with that architecture would have been a huge problem. I did enjoyed an AM1 Sempron 3850 for a couple of years, but that chip had 4 cores and it was obvious that it couldn't make it at modern programs with less. And I had overclocked it at 1.6GHz back then. Today's common programs like browsers, are at least multithreaded, so more than 2 cores(in fact the correct here is more than 4) is a necessity for a smooth experience.
It's almost saying... "we're faster than the other guy, but at the same time, dont buy this to play fortnite"
