Anyone followed the results of mobile Zen 5? I can't see a thread.
Efficiency looks pretty insane.
Efficiency looks pretty insane.
Plus FOMO tax, plus 'omg new product limited stock' tax, plus 'pound is weaker than it was against the dollar 3 milliseconds ago' tax etc etc.

Not strictly Zen 5 news but...
"AMD Zen 5 Strix Laptop day one sales are insane beating out Laptop Launches for Apple sales"
According to one source.
For years OEM's have been screaming at AMD for supply telling them they sell well, sell out immediately, people want them, if they are doing that well, this is great.... Intel, duck, AMD are strutting your way again....

I don't game anymore (far too old) but I have 3 pc's and a laptop (all AMD APU's as effeciency is now my game). 1 PC, 1 laptop and router run off DIY solar so it makes me laugh at the power hungry CPU's of late. I see where AMD are going (eg look at ther servers).I love the fact that Qualcomm make a big thing about its "ARM efficiency" and the 28 watt Strix Laptops they reviewed match the performance for the 50 watt X Elite Laptops.
That must sting, because that is the thing, really the only thing Qualcomm have and they make a huge deal of it, of course they are comparing them to Intel Laptop's.

I take it that's 'Strix Point' and not Asus ROG Strix? (I cba to watch more than a few secs of the video, MLID doesn't appeal to me.. not as bad as Gamermeld though)
Given the timeframes involved an IHS labelling issue seems to fit the bill, but depending on the numbers involved I would have thought the cost to them (in reputational damage) would be less than the cost of just letting it slide.... but I guess it's only a couple of weeks and Intel are under enough pressure that they'll look like the better option (allowing time for reviews to include the Intel mitigation microcode would also make sense)
Gotta say if the pricing rumours are correct then the 9950x is tempting for me, decent bump on my 5950x (almost 2x?) - But would probably be better off wating 6+ months for the x3D part, after the early adopter fee dies off (just gotta hope the £ doesn't take a nose dive by then!)

On gaming, i get it, i'm getting old myself, i used to play Battlefield, some CoD and i was really good, someone to be reconned with if i say so my self, nearing 50 years of age i can't do it like that anymore, i no longer have the reflexes and high accuracy reflexes i once had, my eyesight is also not what it used to be.
BF4 was the last such game i played, tho i did play CoD Modern Warfare with LtMatt for a while just a few years ago, i was feeling it then, didn't feel good not being as sharp as i once was.
I still play a lot of games, i love Star Citizen because its an MMO where you can go and do your own thing, just complete chill mining, cargo hauling, salvaging... some shooter if they aren't too serious and coop and base building type MMO's, again mostly coop.

yeah, I see where you're comming from. Sometimes, just sometimes I feel the need for a half decent shooter. Perhaps now I could have an option with a 54w strix.

I remember playing Battlefield 4 and later various COD games with Bug fondly. He always got so frustrated and Blasphemy was frequently present. Good times tbf!

9600x only one feels overpriced if those are figures. Expecting 1:1 conversion prices tbh.
