Nothing to praise AMD about:
1. Same greedy strategy to sell 8 cores with top igpu while put heavily cut down igpu to 4 and 6 cores. Nobody need 8 cores for this little gpu performance. In fact you have to disable half of cores to get better fps and most users of RDNA handhelds already did it. Steam deck have 4 cores for the same reason.
2. 780M is rebranded 680M released 2 years ago with same performance. Before it, AMD had been rebranding vega for 3 years.
3. Intel igpu is already on pair in laptops. 15 gen will have same igpu performance and same cuts as AMD while having cheaper 2 and 4 cores for casual players.
4. AMD drivers still awful and most gamers switch to Nvidia just because of it and never look back.
5. “Insane gaming performance ” is equal to performance of 8 years old 1060 that can be bought for 30 euros. New parts like 6500, A380 or 1650 GDDR6 are available for 100-150 euro. Gaming PC for kids with performance of 300+ euro 8700g can be built for 100 euro (chinese LGA 2011-3 Xeon + RX 570 refab).
6. Non gamers have no reason to buy APU at all. It will stay as niche of SFF and corporate boxes. |
