You should also mention Nvidia's scam. They pretty much fully brought back M GPUs to laptops without bringing back the laptop name. Now, if I want a **70 class GPU laptop I need to buy a 4080m one, and it's ONLY installed in premium models, whereas you could get a 3070m(less cores but still based on desktop 3070) in budget laptops like Asus TUF, Nitro 5, HP Omen and Legion 5\5 pro.

I think people need to put the last few years into perspective. The pandemic caused an enormous explosion in client computing needs, desktops, laptops, PC gaming industry practically tripled in less than a year, combining that with manufacturing and availability issues, and you had a recipe for serious trouble. At the same time, AMD managed to finally surpass Intel in many areas of performance and efficiency, partly due to Intel's incompetence, but more impactful was TSMC's continued process node improvements coupled with AMD betting on chiplet technology. The chiplet CPU architecture is both the reason why AMD was able to destroy Intel on price while still remaining very profitable, yet also be their Achilles heel. AMD's decision to basically focus on a single 8-core core complex chip per Zen evolution across their entire consumer and datacenter product line (excluding zen4c), when you combine that with the fact that TSMC can only make so many of these chiplets, the fact that their Epyc datacenter chips carry much higher profit margins for those same components, and finally the fact that AMD now has to share TSMC processes node manufacturing capacity with Intel, Nvidia, Apple and others, it was always going to create a bottleneck. With only one source for any Zen 4 CCX's across those product lines, they don't have enough to fill out an entire portfolio stack, at least not without leveraging TSMC's previous process node manufacturing capacity. When TSMC launches a new production process node, it's not like they phase out the previous node, those factories and manufacturing production lines are still fully functional and have honestly just begun to enter their most profitable manufacturing phase, as yields max out, and it's not like there is a shortage of customers looking for 7nm, even 10nm products, new process node wafers are produced on entirely new and standalone production lines. So, AMD, rather than cannibalizing their high margin 4nm and 5nm datacenter stock just to flesh out mid-range and entry level products, they're using the previous Gen Zen node capacity to get products into those price points. Trust me, if TSMC could supply more Zen4 CCX's, I'm sure AMD would prefer having more current Gen Zen in their current offerings. TSMC also needs to be cautious, it would be a huge mistake to invest in 10 additional fab factories only to have demand collapse, they'd much prefer always having to turn away half of potential buyers while increasing prices (profits) than end up with excess unused capacity. So, to summarize, Zen chiplet architecture of nearly every using ryzen and Epyc processor using the same 8-core CCX was genius, as was betting on TSMC, growing their business by 10X in 8 years, but now they're competing for limited TSMC production capacity with their primary competition, so they're forced to be creative to fill out their portfolio. It sucks, but nothing we can do, alternative is to just not launch new products in those segments and watch Intel capture all that revenue.

I do hope they put more effort into clarifying which generation is being used tho. If Zen 3 laptops are priced well due to the increased supply from moving focus away from Milan based Epyc chips along with the maturing 7nm and 6nm, I hope it would lead to a better market. Would love to have access to Zen 4 laptops, but I'm sure they'll cost an arm and a leg. At the same price, definitely Zen 4, but if it means saving several hundred dollars, Zen 3 seems like the better option. Shame though since Zen 4 seems like a beast in Laptops.

To AMD's credit, while the naming scheme is new and will cause confusion at the start, the information is written out so that if you know what you're looking for you can immediately see what kind of AMD processor is inside.

The whole Zen2 vs Zen3 issue in U-series is hugely overblown, and Lucienne there was a good choice.

@@ConsciousSonder Thanks for the honest advice brother! I really appreciate it! I am a software developer and I require a decent machine for my personal projects and learning and also occasional gaming. Honestly, I do not require necessarily a quite high end one but a bit future safe machine doesn't hurt considering how inefficient the newer Windows OSs and other tools are. MSVisual Studio pushes my current i5 11th gen upto 100%CPU utilisation. A good GPU also allows to play games at higher settings. Legion checks all: -good build quality -future proof configuration -minimal design tone The components are top notch with no compromises such as the Qhd screen, great keyboard, Intel WiFi card, faster 16gb ddr5 5200MHz Ram, 1080 webcam, 3 years warranty by default and extended Accidental cover at extra $35. At the same time, the other brands may provide good specs at lower price but there is always a catch. Either the screen quality is not upto the mark or the rams are slower or the WiFi card isn't the cast Intel one. So it looks like that the higher price of Legion is somewhere justified. My only confusion was that whether the AMD R7 7745HX processor be good enough for next 5 years as there are cheaper options offering Intel i7-13700HX, which certainly is more powerful and the rebranded previous gen's flagship 12900 but thinking of skipping it as I might not be able to utilise its full potential and rather go with 7745HX that also looks like a good enough, powerful processor.

I disagree on the CPU naming scheme. The current situation is pretty messy: for example, In the same Ryzen 5000 series there are two very different architectures mixed altogether. Portfolio model year Well, starting with 7 and associating with 2023 is not the best, but I appreciate that every year that number will go up to better understand the production year. 4/5 Market segment I don't understand why occupy 4, 6 and 8 slots when there's no real item there. Just leave it empty for further models! But still, it's easier to understand its segment capability. 4/5 Architecture Well, there's no room for intermediate architectures, maybe they'll discontinue them, but that's a big plus. It's very hard for a customer understand the difference between a Ryzen 5 5500U and a 5600U. Now it will be easier to spot the most important number of the name. 5/5 Feature isolation That's useful to understand the performance level of the CPU, relatively on its segment. Instead of going with 5500U then 5600U then 5625U. 5/5 Form factor/TDP Are they discontinuing the "H"? Well, nevermind. But the "C" is definitely a waste of space, guess "the Big G" enforced that useless scheme. 4/5 So, with this new way it should be easier understand what are they buying.

It's surprising to see AMD's leadership willingly giving their lead back to Intel without any effort. I'm really missing the enthusiasm from AMD's side for their future product lineups, which they had when they were the underdog. Now it's more like AMD is saying to Intel, "Sir, I've ruled and kept your (X86) kingdom in your place, hoping to see the day you return back with full power and enthusiasm. Now that you're here, my joy is done, and I shall take my leave." And there's one very important thing to keep in mind, Intel's leadership isn't planning to slow down at all, so Intel will keep on getting more and more ahead of AMD, leading to better products, but wallet ripping prices, just like what Nvidia's currently doing. So I hope AMD better wakes up from their uninspiring sleep. Edit : I feel as if AMD spent everything they had for research in acquiring Xilinx and Pensando.

I have Spotify, Firefox with a KZbin video and another browser to search for the game I'm playing that has ad block. Game you play might also have extra software running that is unoptimized, I'm playing wow and the add-ons are Lua programs running in single thread. When I raid, I see 20 fps with all this running with 6 cores. Gpu stays 45% usage and cpu goes full nuts with 91°C. No matter what I do, like lowering the graphics and even resulotion, I get the same experience.

Yer gonna need to choose between a 8-core 7940HS that you can run practically forever on battery, and a 16-core 7945HX that runs like a slightly-slowed-down desktop Ryzen 9 7950X3D but that only runs 3 hours on battery and then plug it in after that. The reason I compare it to the 7950X3D (and not the 7950X) is that on a relative-to-its-CPU-speed basis, the 80 MB of L2+L3 cache in the 7945HX is somewhat analogous to the 144 MB of L2+L3 cache in the 7950X3D. That 7945HX is gonna rip as a gaming machine, when coupled with a good laptop dGPU. Do you think that it's an accident that the formal name of the 7945HX is only a nickel off from the name of the 7950X ? Brilliant product naming by AMD. But the secret for in-the-know AMD aficionados is that the 7945HX should probably really be named something like, say, 7945HX3D ! It has a pretty-darn-good version of what amounts to 3D V-Cache. Plus you don't have to pay for an expensive tower and more expensive tower motherboard - since that comes with the laptop, and the penalty is only a somewhat slowing down of the 7950X CPU in order to be cool enough for a laptop fan to handle.
@jimatperfromix2759 Жыл бұрын
Hey @gageracer, I did a little bit more research since I'm pretty much on the horns of the same dilemma. Specifically, I got some estimated performance details for the higher-end 7045HX series CPUs. Hardware Canucks says that the 7945HX does Cinebench R23 multithreading 1.78x faster than the well-known 6900HX part from last year. Well it looks perhaps better than that with new evidence. I prefer the performance test Passmark CPU Multithreading test, mainly since it uses an average of a broad set of benchmarks. But no results yet for the new 7945HX. But there are results for what looks like an engineering sample (sample size = 1) of the 7845HX that has 12 cores and 24 threads. This scores 46791 on Passmark CPU Multithreading, compared to 24562 for the "already sweet" 6900HX from last year, a ratio of about 1.9X. But that''s a 1.9X improvement already just going from an 8-core 6900X to a 12-core 7845HX ! Now granted, the person doing the testing of the solo data point for what looks like an engineering sample, might be a master tuner. But still, that's pretty impressive even after knocking off a few points for when more samples arrive in the database. And adding 4 more cores when you go from 7845HX to 7945HX just gives you one last performance bump, which can't be more than an extra 1/3 but is likely to be more like 1/6 since those last few cores slow down average clock speed over all cores. Let's discount the 1.9X to 1.8X for starters, then add 1/6 factor to that (0.3X) giving 2.1X. So optimistically, the 7945HX might run multithreaded CPU tasks almost 2.1X faster than the already good 6900HX CPU part - depending on the mix of threads being run. In round numbers, call it a doubling, giving an estimated Passmark CPU Multithreading score of 49124 at this point, before it's ever been tested. By the way, the desktop 7950X chip hits 63430 on the Passmark CPU Multithreading test, so by our estimate, the baby 16-core 7945HX chip might attain about 77% of the CPU throughput of its 16-core big-brother desktop chip. The desktop 12-core 7900X hits 52109 on the Passmark CPU Multithreading test, leading us to believe that the baby 16-core 7945HX might be able to attain about 94% of the CPU throughput of the 12-core desktop 7900X. Bear in mind though, that the complicated calculations I just went through are based on a single engineering sample of the 7845HX CPU, such that you should take it all with a large grain of salt. Nevertheless, it's exciting to think that a 16-core AMD laptop chip might be able to come within shouting distance of a 12-core AMD desktop chip of the same generation. All this is made possible by AMD extending the core/thread range from 8/16 all the way to 16/32 in its top-end Ryzen gen 4 CPU parts. Also bear in mind that none of these cores/threads are Efficiency cores/threads - rather, they are all effectively Performance cores/threads (in hybrid terminology). In a year or so (it is rumored) AMD may also release hybrid-architecture CPUs as well. But for now, Intel does not offer a 32-thread all-Performance-core CPU within its range of laptop CPUs.

Meh, it's not as big a issue as you make it out. New laptop designs or refreshed designs sporting year(s) old CPU/APU/GPUs is nothing new. As for Zen2 in 7000 lineup you're kinda mincing data, Mendocino is a NEW product, and it's only for ultra budget designs or chromebooks. Zen2+RDNA2. Athlon/Ryzen 7120-7520 family. Also this isn't really AMD's doing as much as it's the OEMs and ODMs requesting it. I highly doubt someone in the market for a > $1500 laptop would confuse a 7320U (4 core budget Mendocino) for a 7840HS (premium 8 core Phoenix). You speak of "technically" AMD beinh able to launch a Zem+ "premium" "7915U"... except there's no sign of them doing anything even remotely to that. Even last years Zen3+/6000/Rembrandt refreshes/rebrands don't see ANY high-end part. They top out ar 7735 U/HS. 78xx/79xx are clearly reserved for only the best and newest (Phoenix Point/RDNA3 and Dragon Range/DTR, both Zen4 based). Also the fact that DTR chips like Dragon Range/7045 pretty much RESERVE the "HX" suffix in the entire line up, where others are just U/HS type thin and light chips. There is no confusion, HX in the 7000 series means 55W+ desktop-like power houses for big form factor or ultra premium laptops. And at the end of the day, if it helps AMD gains a more balanced market share vs Intel on laptop, I'm all for it.

For example, 7020 series for this year is not the Lucienne die with Vega iGPU, and old VCE- but tiny RDNA2, plus modern VCE, capable of AV1 decode. 7030U series, on the other hand, have slightly better Zen3 cores (who cares), but VCE on it is old, so not really recommended, unless you get it in a really cheap laptop, or with a new dGPU.

I'm just pointing out that at least AMD gives us that information while Intel is hiding it by rebranding Alder Lake CPUs into "13th gen". AMD's way of doing it is not perfect, but at least it's not as misleading and deceiptful as what Intel is doing. Nvidia isn't much better either, with the way they tried to rebrand a 4070 into "4080 12GB", until everyone called them out on it.

@Garrus Vakarian I think they're still consistent with the old numbering scheme (Ryzen 5 shown as 5 on the 2nd number and Ryzen 9 shown as 9/8). If we look at the past numbering scheme, the 3rd number sometimes serves as nothing rather than just pick-a-number number tho

I'm genuinely waiting for a full AMD mini PC that might at least compete with my current Intel 10th gen w/ RTX2070S.

I actually agree with AMD. Marketing wise, no OEM will produce new laptop with Ryzen 2000 or Ryzen 3000 or Ryzen 4000 on it and considering that AMD is now harvesting old "Zen" with refresh with latest lithography, this make sense. People and store folks will be able to communicate the difference. i3, i5, i7, i9 means nothing but bullshit. Like AMD's r3, r5, r7 and r9. It is pure marketing brinkmanship.

Wasn't the whole point of Ryzen 4000 or 5000 in laptops (not sure which one) to unify the laptop and desktop variations of CPUs? If the past years should have told AMD anything it's not to confuse customers.

unify ? they always have 2 different designs for laptop and desktop. this year they bring desktop chip to laptop while rebrand every single old laptop chips.

@@hoangd4132 I think he meant unify the architecture generation. Like the laptop CPUs were always 1 generation older in architecture even though they were the same series(5***, 4***, 3*** etc.)

So, They launched new CPUs in almost the end of 2022 it will ship at the end of 23 so we are getting after 2 years ?

Looking forward to 7x40 ships. I hope there will be enough laptops for those. Also MiniPCs like Minisforum/Beelink and the like.
