Has there been any actual benchmarks or at least informed discussion on the relative performance between the Intel w/Radeon and HBM2 and EMIB vs the AMD 2400G w/ Vega?

The Intel thing seems like it's going to be way quicker with the HBM2 in there giving it mad bandwidth. Maybe we won't know until the Intel poo poo launches?

I think it's going to get utterly murdered by the Intel hbm variant.

Which annoys me as AMD could have launched that with ryzen cores and it'd own in a nuc or tiny steam box, and it's their tech.

The bus between the things was Intel’s tech. Regardless, I don’t think it matters, because it’s designed for pre-builts and you’re not going to see desktop motherboards with that socket.

The whole point of the enterprise seems to be halting the advance of ARM in laptops, since the latest iPads have single core performance that rival MacBooks and have had Apple evangelism outposts like Gruber‘s blog and ATP mulling the necessity of Intel in MacBooks. System builders are a smaller segment than the people buying laptops like disposable objects, and both Intel and AMD suffer as X86 stakeholders if that market even begins a shift off the platform.

There's not much point comparing those two because they're made to serve completely different market segments. That Intel chip is going to cost three times as much.

Sure there's a point. We can compare the interconnect technology, bandwidth v cu's v frequency and cost is an interesting metric as well. There is crossover too... Do you buy a nuc, or build a probably cheaper alternative from an AMD apu?

It's telling that the best the "ARM ANY DAY NOW" crew can come up with is that some of Apple's most neglected models of laptop are vaguely comparable to ARM on certain single core only benchmark. For instance the MacBook Air is still running ultra low power Broadwell and the only change they've made for the CPU since 2015 has been to bump the base model up to 1.8 GHz base clocks.

I would be curious if AMD made a competing product using infinity fabric instead of EMIB and whether the low clocks on HBM would kill performance (if IF throughput is necessarily tied to memory clocks).

It would probably need an enormous socket like TR4.

So long as "powerful laptop" = big and chunky with a heavier battery than other models, it's going to be the case. Please note I actually don't own any, but have seen other people try to use them on buses and airplanes.

What are you smoking? There's no need to have a "big and chunky" laptop to use a CPU newer than 2015, or even to go up to 4 real cores.

AMD is doing that though, and thier version will use the full die (28CU instead of 24). I'd love to see it on TR4, but that'd be a huge investment for something no one might invest in.

OP finally replied with backstory on the Bulletproof Threadripper

quote:

The PC is not mine and everyone involved was ok. The owner of the PC was related in drugs and lived in Central America. They lost a lot of other expensive property and it looks like property that was the main target of the attack.
This photo is about two months old. This is not how the pc was found. It was opened up and anything they though they could save they removed.

It should be out in april.

I want to see the OC benchmarks. The shrink should give it some serious OC headroom (10%-15%) compared to before. If they can hit 4.4-4.6 reliably I'll upgrade from my i7 3770k and then probably upgrade again in 2019.

2019 is also going to be a big year for AMD on the server if they deliver with zen2.

All the big vendors have been moving to per-core licensing models around the time Intel started hitting 12/16c per socket. Expect more of that.

Is it the same process as the Apus? Not seeing any worthwhile overclocks on those anywhere.

no, the APUs are still the same original 14nm LPP

the ones on 14nm 12nm LPP+ will appear end of year at the earliest
