10GHz Netburst

Why are there barely any Rembrandt-U laptops available, even almost a full year after the CPUs launched?

Hey Jared and Tom. Isn't it frustrating how AMD would have good laptop hardware on paper but then you find out that AMD laptops are gonna be pretty scarce on release or OEMs are just not going to support it for some reason. Why do you think AMD has constantly struggled with availability? Its weird that OEMs keep snubbing AMD!

Benjamin Oechsli (ex-lee)

Welcome, Jarrod! A question for both of you: what laptop part/model are you most looking forward to this coming generation?

Hey Tom and Jarrod, Do you think that AMD's weaker focus on laptops this year is because they're continuing to prioritize fulfilling server orders? Or could it be that OEMs are doubling down on SKUs with proven mindshare, like Intel + Nvidia laptops or Nvidia GPUs on AMD laptops?

Hey Jarrod and Tom. First, thank you as I've watched both your channels for a long time and really appreciate them. Second, I bought an ASUS G15 With AMD CPU and GPU. Tom, you've talked about relive in the past few weeks and one thing missing from AMDs mobile drivers is relive, not to mention a complete lack of tuning features (can't undervolt as an example). Is reviewing drivers on a laptop something that's missing from the industry? Thank you!

Hi Tom and Jarrod, Do you think that AMD will be able to fix the problems they are having with RDNA 3 before the launch of navi 32 and 33 laptops? Also, do you think that the RDNA 3 portion of Phoenix will be affected by these current problems? asking as someone who is considering getting a new laptop sometime this year. If they can't fix the problems i might just wait until Strix and RDNA 3+, which I might do anyways because my current laptop (2021 LG Gram 17) is not giving me any problems as a commuting college student with a good gaming desktop at home.

Hi Tom and Jarrod, AMD recently released a large datacentre APU called MI300 that has lots of CPU cores and a powerful GPU in a single chip. Do you foresee a high end APU like that reaching desktop and laptop that's meant to be challenging for best performance in both general computation and graphics instead of APU being for low power mobile or low end desktops or is that just something Apple alone will be doing.

AI Generated Fish

Hi Tom and Jarrod, Any speculation why there were almost no AMD laptops announced and Phoenix seemed to only go in budget oriented laptops? Similar question with Navi 32. Consumers know the 7700S isn't really a 70 class card, can AMD go the whole year with no 70 or 80 class mobile GPUs? Would they announce Navi 32 laptop cards mid year when high end products start getting discounted? Their lineup and strategy is just very confusing.

Hey Tom and Jarrod. Lovely to have you back on Jarrod. Do you think AMD really needs to step up and hammer home the OEM relationships to get their hardware into more finished products? On paper they look fantastic but it just seems they're never quite there in terms of supply.

Hello T&J. How do you guys feel about the mobile market as a whole? Previous generations have been the usual uplifts, sometimes regressions in some aspects but to me it seems like Zen 4 and Meteor Lake are really attempting to push mobile further with performance, efficiency and AI/Neural Engine. It seems like a larger than normal leap from both companies for me.

Chris Rijk

Until recently AMD has been focused on APUs for laptops and while they do have a decent market share, the release of Dragon Range suggests that the APU only strategy didn't meet their expectations. Did AMD get their strategy wrong? What are your hopes or expectations for the future of APUs in laptops?

Looking at a lot of CES coverage it doesn't look like AMD laptop offerings are as prominent as Intel one's. Do you think this will change later on down the line? Perhaps AMD offerings being not only cheaper but also more power efficient to compete?

Falto

When do you guys think would be good time to potentially buy 2022 laptop models for cheap? Now would be good or wait for few months?

Peyton S

Hello Tom and Jarrod, do you think the current oversupply will lead to more eGPUs going on the market? What are the prospects for those going forward?

cockblockula

Looking at your review/comparisons of the 3070 & 3080 mobile from last year, there doesn't seem to be a large difference in performance to consider paying substantially more for a 3080 laptop. With this generation, Nvidia seems to be cutting down the 4070 significantly. Perhaps they feel like its going to be 'too competitive' with the xx80 class again and want there to be more of a separation between them? Do you guys think Nvidia don't want the xx70 class to be 'high-end' anymore?

I was helping my brother find a laptop for his research work (which includes a bit of machine learning but also a LOT of writing papers and spreadsheets) and accidentally stumbled upon the Rembrandt 6800HS update of the Vivobook Pro 14 OLED ( https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VivoBook-OLED-Laptop-WQXGA/dp/B0BHW3HJB1? ) which is a pretty neat "creator" laptop with a Pantone calibrated 1600p 90hz OLED. It's amazing how ASUS didn't seed this to reviewers and so I could only find reviews of the older Cezanne version. This thing is an incredibly impressive piece of kit and somehow cheaper than the older version. Why is it these laptops get so little marketing effort? (though for my brother, a great deal)

Hi Jarrod, welcome back to the show! I'll get to the question in a minute. I ha new artist to recommend to you: Robert Slump. Best cover of Bury the Light I have ever heard. Anyways after watching the presentation of the mobile graphics, something stuck out to me: the ability to use transcoding on the discrete graphics. If I am not mistaken, did not the RX 6000 one's not encode video? thanks in advance.

Gwen Farron

Good timezone Tom and Jarrod. I (right after launch) got a samsung Z Fold 4 and am in love with the tech, and with how many companies are jumping on the train, and how much cheaper/reliable they're getting, I see them as a coming natural extension of the mobile space. Hell, they're even reaching into the desktop space now. How much longer do you think it will be before this technology has a solid presence in at least the mobile space beyond a few halo products?

Brad Medlin

Hey Tom and Jarrod, so I am looking at the new X3D chips and wondering the if multithreading performance will take a hit on the 7900x3d and 7950x3d similar to or will the disaggregated chiplettes be able to meat and exceed the multithreading of the 7950x and 13900k?
