Hm, debatable. The Deck has a "quad channel 32bit interface". Thing is, a single DDR5 channel is actually 64bit wide, split up into 2x32bit access. So a quad channel 32bit interface is actually the same thing as a regular dual channel 64bit interface. Which matches up with the memory bandwidth specs of the Deck, those two are exactly in line with regular dual channel DDR5.

To be fair, laptops come with so much RAM nowadays that you don't need to upgrade it at all (if you go for 32GB minimum you will be good for the entire lifetime of that laptop. 16GB will be fine too for a lot of people but I would still suggest 32GB if you are a gamer). For SSD space, I think that most people will be fine with 1TB of storage. You can always get an external hardware for storing data if needed. If you are crazy like me, you can just go all in and get 64GB of RAM and 4TB of SSD (I did this when I bought my laptop in 2023).

I really wish it were standard practice for companies to open-source discontinued products.

We could also just abolish IP and rely on basic Fraud Laws to get every bad things people want out of IP. IP is just a legal Monopoly Right to lock tech behind patents and they discourage production and innovation. x86 is the most clear example of this. Fuck patents. Ideas can be exploited by an infinite amount of people without problem. The logical conclusion of IP is that competition should not exists and every idea should be strickly produced by a single organisation. Innovators already have market advantage by being the first to produce something and introducing retroengineering cost. And the only reason the "big player" are so.omnipresent is because of those legal monopoly grant that protected them for decades.

its mind boggling how AMD did not outbid intel in the exclusivity deal with Intel. Maybe they are bound by contract terms longer than a year? But considering how Intel is a sinking ship and AMD is flush with cash, it is weird that they did not sign more exclusivity deals.

[@victorkreig6089]

there wasn't any bidding This is nvidia strongarming, how is that so hard to see? Also exclusivity deals are for losers with inferior product When you make the best everyone expects manufacturers to use the best so they have no other choice, unlike intel and nvidia AMD doesn't have that problem so why waste the money?

[@TetraSky]

2:39 the vapor chamber was changed from copper to stainless steel ? Wasn't it changed from copper to a mix of Copper AND stainless steel now? As is literally shown on screen. Not sure how using stainless steel is better when it is barely 15W/mK compared to about 400W/mK for copper (bigger number = better thermal conductivity). While it is certainly more rigid and would helps prevent heat from other parts to heat up the heatpipes too much when we want to pull heat away from the CPU/GPU... My guess is they wanted to save a buck on the copper, not so much that it's "better" than the previous solution they had. Just that it's more efficient.

[@rinrin4711]

You only really need copper at the point of contact with die and radiator, since 99% of the heat is transferred with vapor, not through metal.
