Well, sure but when comparing and buying laptops the CPU is usually the first thing to consider as it determines not only the general use case (everyday, gaming etc) but also other features (connectivity etc).

Why the hell would any government subsidize a company making billions in profit?! This is completely crazy. Have them build the factory with their own profits.

This does not look good for Intel at all. Its flagship loses in most games to an AMD 45W TDP CPU. Even the margins in benchmarks that it manages to pull ahead in are not convincing if you consider that they are about 10% better for a part that consumes at least 44% more power (which is not the...

Relax. This is not full on review, just some benchmarks gathered from various places and it clearly says that both CPUs are 65 W TDP parts. Nevertheless it's quite impressive to see Intel CPU with 1,5 GHz lower base clock go neck in neck with AMDs 7nm CPU at the same TDP. So Cypress Cove looks...

Good review. Nice cheap ITX case.

The issue is that ARM is not producing it's chips whereas Nvidia is so they would be motivated to cripple competition's products (Qualcom, Samsung,Mediatek, Amazon). NVLink is only an example here.

Haven't you seen the AMD slides? It's all there.

Triple fan slot in a mainstream card?! A bit overkill I think.

While they can still release 3080 and 3070 Ti/Super with more RAM, 3060Ti with 8 GB just looks silly now.

Well, it probably will be fast but prepare to spend extra $ for solid cooling solution as this will be a power hog. And besides what is the point if a few months later Intel will release Alder Lake on a smaller node with DDR5 support?

I hope Intel catches up to AMD as this is the only way to lower prices.

Totally agree. 3060 should be aimed at 1080p and maybe less demanding titles at 1440p so 12GB at this res makes little sense and will make 3060 Ti with 8 GB look under specced.

So the only missing piece now is 3070 Ti, which I bet will be equipped with 16GB of RAM, given that 3060 has 12GB and RX 6800 comes with 16GB

These results cannot be indicative of real performance because Alder Lake being the first hybrid CPU will require full support for Windows and apps, of which there is none right now. I might be wrong but I doubt little cores will run at the same time as big cores (either through a power...

Finally some good news from Intel. Release of new CPUs will mark the price drop of new Ryzen CPUs and looks like Rocket Lake will be worth the wait, especially given that I cannot purchase recently released GPU.
