Why would you bother with an Ultra 9 when it doesn't even support AVX 512. You won't get the best performance out of large LLMs. Rather…

This sounds like a bot account. Seriously look at benchmarks and you will realise that is comment is bollocks. There is a reason why Intel…

Had multiple versions of the Outlander over the years and not had any issues with them. Note the Australian versions are Japanese made so…

Something something do your research on E-Power which doesn't use CVT!

People have been saying this for the last 20 years and the company still exists. Plus it's another Japanese icon that I doubt their…

You could be waiting a while considering the leaked roadmap states either 1st or 2nd half 2026. Also with the US GOV now having 10% stake…

Well what they mean is that 99.9% of Windows applications and hardware are coded for x86(Intel and AMD) and not ARM(Snapdragon). Snapdragon…

Unfortunately had the opposite experience. Certain bespoke applications wouldn't work or were providing incorrect data in emulation. Had…

Why would you bother with a 285k for AI. It doesn't even have a proper implementation of AVX 512 for LLMs. It also has an NPU with only 13…

I think people are confused. This is the previous generation meteor lake chip not a lunar lake. So the TDP is much higher, up to 115w, than…

Have no idea what this guys are going on about. I'm running a 7950x3d, with 96GB DDR5 6000, on an Asus x670e motherboard and have no…

That's a Snapdragon based laptop in your link. You may have compatibility issues with software and hardware because it's ARM on Windows.…

I have laptops with an Intel 258v and one with an AMD 350. You can notice the difference in speed between them when side by side. The Intel…

You forgot to add that Snapdragon also consumes a lot of power at full load still throttles.…

Well at least for Windows/Linux you have a choice between 3 different CPU companies (AMD, Intel or Qualcomm) AMD for the fastest x86 CPU,…

Snapdragon fan above. Notice that they get easily offended when you state that there are still issues with the product and start negging…

Unfortunately the.emulation also still needs a lot of work despite what some Snapdragon fans may tell you. I have applications not work,…

It depends on the laptop reviewed. The AI 350 in most reviews that have come out is running at a lower TDP than the 8845H. The trade off is…

The only issue is that the Intel Lunar Lake laptops lack Hyper Threading so perform worse than these AMD CPUs. You really notice the…

I guess you haven't experienced parts of Mexico and the Caribbean during Spring Break!

Lol! Empires come and go. The global economic landscape will just change and Australia will have to form another pact with those that don't…

It's hard enough with the fastest Snapdragon trying to emulate x86 game support already with very average frame rates when you can actually…

The Intel Ultra 7 265 would be the bottleneck. Put an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D in there and it would be a viable product. Otherwise it's a waste…

288v overpriced for what it is. If you really wanted to go the Intel route, rather save money and get a 256v or 268v. Rather get a Ryzen…

That was a big price error and they would have had to honour those that were able to make a purchase. That price would have been way below…

There are probaly downvotes because this person is spreading incorrect information.Based on their past posts they haven't put up any deals…

You can dynamically allocate the RAM to the iGPU with the latest AMD APUs. This can be done with the latest Radeon drivers. On a 32gb…

It's still a rumour and nothing was mentioned at CES. The rumour is that Nvidia is working with MediaTek on a desktop chip, but nothing is…

Unfortunately Snapdragon X GPUs are very average in addition to software compatability

If you compare the Intel CPU in this deal vs AMD's previous generation Ryzen 5 8645HS, the Intel 226v is about 17% slower in Passmark.…
