Chrispy_That's coming after Cezanne (Rembrandt):



Cezanne was always going to just be just a change from Zen2 to Zen3.

Ahhh Thanks

I'm tired of waiting. AMD buying ATI was supposed to make beautiful IGP babies and intead it's moved so slowly that Intel have caught up.
Intel, the "who needs graphics? we make CPUs" level of arrogance/apathy are making Tiger Lake laptops that match AMD's best. On a broken 10nm process node that sucks ass.

Honestly, I was hoping for better, and my expectations were genuinely low. Yesterday I impulse-bought an Intel/Nvidia laptop to replace my ageing Raven Ridge ultraportable. Vega 12/15 never materialised and the 15W "do anything" laptop still doesn't exist. I'll take a 30W 1650 MaxQ over an AMD IGP that is sat on the drawing board, never brought to fruition.

AMD have all the ingeridients and expertise to make a frickin' killer laptop APU - Zen3, HBM, RDNA. Can you buy those things in a product? No. Perhaps I'll switch back to an AMD laptop in the fall when Rembrandt arrives but if it's anything like Renoir, availability will be absolutely dire and all of the good design wins will go to intel for the first 12 months. Call me cynical but my predictions are based on several cycles of empirical data.

If only they had their own fabs..............or if Global Foundries had a plant with 7nm process...................

edit - just out of curiosity, has anyone bought a smartphone lately, are they experiencing shortages??

I've experienced delays on the last couple of orders for phones, and limited selection. Unsure if that's manufacturer shortages or Brexit shenanigans though.

I also only buy half a dozen phones a month, so the sample size is pretty small.
