A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

AMD is releasing (what appears to be, still need all the reviews to come in) a beast of a mobile processor. 16 cores, 32 threads, and 128MB of L3 cache.

I'm going to buy a new laptop the second framework offers this CPU.

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Im hesitant to believe Framework is going to offer something which is in the Dragon Range family of cpus given they are using Phoenix. I wouldnt think theyll be jumping on it, at least this gen.

Maybe down the line if the community shows that they would purchase it, it might get some traction, but the market window is pretty small given you not only pay for the r9 tax, but the X3D tax ontop of it.

This in a framework laptop might make me finally switch to an eGPU instead of a dedicated desktop/laptop combo.

eGPUs don't have enough pcie lanes. They'd bottleneck a CPU like this too badly to be worth it.

[–] irasponsible@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I looked into it, but EGPUs are still not a great option. All of the enclosures seemed to have some major flaw, and performance is consistently low.

Another 7000 series that's only going to show up in like one laptop? I swear all I see is the 7730 everywhere.
