AMD's Carrizo laptop microprocessor is the result of asking their engineers to throw a "Hail Mary" type of pass and dream way outside the box.
With Intel's ongoing 14nm supply problems, AMD should finally be able to make some inroads and make some money to more than get them through (and past) their Zen processor (which will be very competitive with the best of Intel at that time).
I bought an asus for 220 bucks and it works pretty well. but all I do is go on FR and do stuff in Office :) I know you guys do a lot more with your PCs.
Bought an ASUS notebook for my daughter a few years ago. Junk. Awful. Never, never again.
Well the first paragraph fails... The only $800 Mac laptops I’ve seen were used ones. And the $1500 gaming laptop seems to imply it’s from Apple, even though no one would ever consider a Mac to be a gaming laptop.
Reading the actual article, this reminds me of the features list you find on product pages, when what you want is the spec sheet. There’s lots of catchy words like innovative, smooth, leadership, and I’m not even sure what half the graphs mean. Bars and numbers but no legend about what the numbers mean or what the graph is representing..?
Some decent stuff in there though, and it looks pretty cool. Definitely something interesting to follow and see where is goes / what Intel does.
Wait till you see AMD’s 14nm problems.
Intel is at least 5 years ahead of AMD.
Cool - I worked on Excavator, so I’m happy I’ll finally be able to buy one of them!
