    AMD is presenting a lot of interesting products this CES. I’m amazed they still make new AM4 chips. That’s an 7-8 year old socket!!
    Seemed like Intel was getting ready to beat AMD again not so long ago, but as far as I can tell, AMD still has the better chips.

      As long as AMD keeps selling Epyc 7000 server CPUs, we’ll keep getting the tasty leftovers on the desktop segment.

      It looks like Epyc 7000 will be produced/supported till 2026!

      I’m surprised GN didn’t mention the huge jump in iGPU between the 5000 series (Vega cores w/ DDR4) vs 7x0m on the new 8000 series APUs (Navi 3 with DDR5).

      On the laptop market, the built in 780m seemed to be on par with the discrete mobile 1050ti/1650max-q.

      It’ll be interesting if the desktop version can handle faster RAM (DDR5 6400 is the official support) and do better with decent cooling.
