    News Leak claims that AMD's Navi 44 GPU package is 31% smaller than Navi 33

    The issue is that you have to have mind share to sell any GPUs at all... an area were AMD is very weak. Strix Halo might be a way around that if it enables laptops that can be more versatile that the competition (eg loading 96GB worth of LLMs), that's an easy no brainer 2k drop for many people...

    News Lenovo says demand for AMD's Instinct MI300 is record high — plans to offer AI solutions from all important hardware vendors

    Its worth noting that B200 and MI300X have almost identical AI performance watt per watt.

    News Franken-CrossFire: Radeon RX 5600 XT Joins Radeon RX 5700

    The stuttering exhibits on Navi hardware even with 1 GPU so I don't think that is part of it, once it is fixed for single GPUs it should also go away for mGPU setups... Note that SLI almost always fails to impove 1% lows or min frametimes, while a very good increase is seen here. You'll see...

    Consoles are going to have a different boost configuration than PCs it's more like 1Ghz idle speed, and 3.2Gh constant all core boost when gaming... 3.2Ghz is nothing for a 12nm APU to hold for all core boost in fact it's below the base clock for alot of 12nm AMD CPUs.
