      @sub1ime81 its unfortunate that ddr5 didn't have some sort of dual channel per dimm so we could have 4 channel per 2 ddr5 sticks. I imagine the main reason they didn't do that is to maintain the income from the HEDT side with 4 channel ram. A powerful APU with quad channel ddr5 7200mhz or something would actually keep up with say a gtx 1660 or something assuming they can jam enough gpu cores on the apu. I am excited about the prospect of decent gaming in a 50 watt package for a laptop that actually games for several hours. My 4 core laptop with m620 quadro burns the battery in like 30-40 mins when gaming. Just annoying.

Seriously the newer ones with the 4750 for example is near 8 or 900 I can buy a laptop with the same specs and a screen for less. Also the ryzen chips are perfect for these type of applications yet theres only a few and most are just coming out with older gen chips seriously give me a new cpu AT a price that beats a laptop( yes yes i know their small companies but asus makes a model thats also on the high end price wise for still old hardware also come on other companies make these damn it) with the same specs. Personally i thinkintel is up to their old shady shit with oems look at some of the amd laptops that should have been good but they all had odd choices even same model the intel was betetr then the amd due to poor deisgn choices on the amd systems like horrible airflow which some reviewers fixed with a dremel that still looked fine after.

It's stupid fast - Premiere and Davinci Resolve both have native M1 versions, and there's a lot of Big Name games - Shadow of the Tomb Raider for example - that run like butter on it. It's also dead silent and barely warm to the touch under heavy loads. I know that everyone poops on Mac, but I'm super curious how you'd react to it. Bonus - it's something you can actually buy!

      It's been a long time since I bought a racing game. I remember that it had at least three levels of realism, something like Arcade, Normal and Realistic or something like that. Arcade was about what we saw in this video. You could crash into any thing at any speed and the worst that happened was that you cam to a stop, though I think it still showed some degree of cosmetic damage. In Normal mode the car got damaged but would be dropped back on the track if you got things really wrong and could limp to the goal no matter what you did to it. Enter Realistic where you couldn't get away with anything. Suddenly listening to your codriver was important. Figuring out how to setup the suspension could be the difference between winning the stage and not completing it. A bad landing could rip your wheel off, and doing a 180 ending up with the wheels in the air meant you wouldn't finish the stage.

  • @unattributed1641
    @unattributed1641 3 роки тому

    So, I posted this video over on the Mini PC Reddit, with a comment that there were some things that Jay missed / skipped over.
    One of the bigger things is that he hasn't really kept up with Mini PC's in the last few years, it would seem. There are a lot of machines that are not under-powered. There are a lot of them based on Intel 9th, 10th and 11th generation processors, as well as Zen+, Zen 2, and Zen 3. The tricky part is to keep track of these devices you have to known both the mobile and desktop APU's, and how they differ (besides the iGPU) from the standard desktop CPUs.
    Here's a list of 8 items Jay should have mentioned, or was a bit off on in this video:
    1. The Ryzen 4800U is a mobile APU.
    2. The TDP for the 4800U APU is 25W, a fraction of what your typical gaming desktop draws.
    3. The constraint on the GPU is mostly due to the L3 cache being limited to 8mb.
    4. The desktop versions (like the 4650G and 4750G) have a higher TDP (65W), and higher clocks on both the CPU and GPU. However, they are still limited by the 8mb of L3 cache.
    5. The Zen 3 desktop APU's that were just announced will still be on the Vega graphics cores.
    6. The Zen 3 APU's will perform a bit better because the L3 cache has been increased to 16mb, and the IPC and efficiency gains in the CPU.
    7. AMD hasn't commented on whether they will refresh the Zen 3 APU's with the 3D cache stacking technology they are implementing. (At least that I have seen.)
    8. (If I heard this correctly...this may still be a rumor.) AMD has said that RDNA graphics will be introduced in the Zen 4 lineup of APU's.
    On this last item... I'm pretty certain they have said this, it seems AMD were caught a bit off guard by Intel's Iris Xe graphics, which (in some cases) are a definite improvment over the UHD. (Although, oddly, it seems some of the UHD graphics have been re-branded as Iris Xe, so you have to look carefully.)

    M.2 supposedly works best when "warm" at 50C but typically throttles when it gets up to like 60-70C, though I have seen no data to support this. What I do know from first hand experience is that if you get past 80% capacity you will often see the temps go up to the throttle level pretty quickly, especially under write-heavy loads. Would be an interesting test to see.
