Ryzen AI Halo

This. TBH I just want to see AMD respond with something other than "but Strix Halo is better" while ignoring the massive difference in TDP/thermal profile.

TLDR:"The performance advantage over the previous Arc Graphics 140T/140V iGPUs is around 70%. The advantage over the smaller Radeon 800 series iGPUs of AMD Zen 5 is also considerably high (between 50-80% depending on the benchmark). Although the Strix Halo GPUs are even faster (but not more efficien

Da, uzeo sam si AMD Strix Halo miniPC sa 128 GB unified RAM (GMKTec EVO-X2), prilična je zvjerka i možeš alocirati do cca 100 GB RAMa za GPU. Napravio sam za probu web-baziranu igru u jedan dan crunchanja sa OpenCode i Qwen-3.6-35B-A3B. Dobro radi i dovoljno je brzo. Reda veličine 50 tokena/sec na p

Unica vantagem dos Macs são a memoria unificadas. Só. Adoram falar que os processadores são magicos e não são, Intel e AMD tem processadores inclusive melhor em raw output por watt. Se você não usa LLM, não joga na bateria ta rasgando dinheiro. Ta pagando uma nota numa memoria que você sequer vai us

The latency change ain't caused by the interconnect or packaging, it's caused by the use of lpddr with really loose timings. Point here, the product focuses on bandwidth for the igpu and not cpu gaming perf. It's a mobile workstation design that focuses on raw compute and not games That's a sea of w

Especially for laptops, a single performant APU with unified memory like AMD Strix Halo or Apple M-series SoC seems to be way to go due to efficiency

Pessoal confunde ARM como a única solução que a Apple usou e apresentou melhoras em chips mobile. Na vdd são um conjunto de fatores, como um sistema único integrado, com um hardware dedicado, memórias soldadas, etc. ARM até agora se mostrou uma solução muito boa pra eficiência energética, mas acho b

Very interesting analysis! However, I believe that other components on the motherboard might also consume parts of the total system power (presumably measured by PDTR according to your analysis or PSTR according to some other threads on older chips such as M4 Pro / M3 Max). For example, those might

The memory is not integrated like SRAM, nor on the same die like the L3 V-cache of X3D CPUs. It is normal LPDDR on the same package like Lunar Lake. It's still the JEDEC LPDDR4 / LPDDR5(X); its packaging doesn't confer performance advantages. And on 1T tests, memory bandwidth is not a factor. Very f

APU even have the compute to do AI in a reasonabe amount of time It's not the worst. The thing is with bigger models, you ideally want the entire thing in memory. That's why you'll find articles about how this runs the bigger Deepseek models faster than a 5090 or whatever. I'm kinda tempted to get o
