I guess the 40% was meant against Zen 4 and it could make a point for DDR4 PC owners to consider the upgrade. Key word is "consider" as I am sure many are still satisfied with their performance. APU will be another story, where DDR4 APU owners may be well-enticed to upgrade to a new DDR5 model, basically get the whole upgrade setup for the price of a mid-range GPU is amazing value.

You know AI is a bubble when every company is trying to milk that cow for all it's worth before people realize it's a donkey.

@2:14:45 Really disagree here, too. If youonly cherry pick the best results, it gives a distorted view/presentation of the real average performance uplift of the parts. "Chopping off" the small performance uplifts is absolutely the wrong thing to do...

never heard so many ppl talk about nothing at all.

"productivity. flexibility. teamwork, workflow, innovation..." if you drank a shot for every buzzword you are dead now.

also, MS killed it with their 16GB Ram requirement for their super duper AI pc lol

@pcworld
But I have a BIG question now to try to understand what is the situation....
Are there also "AI PC" Desktop (CPU and desktop computer) or "only" Laptop AI version?
I mean they talk all over about AI on Laptop with laptop AI / copilot+ etc....
But I want/need AI Desktop ! [AI/Gaming PCs] (not talking about Epycs stuff...)
What is exactly the story here?
Cheers

In regard to OEM's, Intel and such creating software which seems cool but goes nowhere, here a good suggestion: opensource it! That is how Blender started, it was failed proprietary software and the Dutch guy opensourced it, then the community used it as a foundation and made something entirely else from it which became Blender. The industry picked up the software and started to sponsor it, financing a few tenths of fulltime employees on Blender (they also sell texture-packs).

@2:11:30 This is really wrong! We have a lot of CPU-bound videogames currently being released. We see it in quite a lot of metrics and it mostly comes from the fact that developers/engines are not able (or not forcing themselves) to write multi-threaded code. Main world-thread is still generally single-core limited.

Most recent examples of this are games like Dragon's Dogma 2, Starfield, Hogwart's Legacy, etc.

There's plenty of coverage of this aspect of PC gaming from outlets like IGN (NX Gamer) and Digital Foundry...

There you have it Gordon! They call the new Ryzen mobile CPUs Ryzen AI!

If anyone is annoyed by AI, you might as well just stop using tech. It's here and not going away.

If AMD wants to lead, maybe don't always follow competitors naming, it makes them look like plagiarists

Dear Gordon, your comparison between Nvidia and Thanos goes wrong here: Thanos actually is a good guy trying to do the rigth thing by using extreme means. Yes, it is horrible to kill half the sapient beings in the galaxy and I don't justify it in any way but he does it for the greater good with good intentions (roads to hell being paved with that). So Thanos is not really a bad guy, but of course neither are the Avengers, they also act with good intentions but they might have doomed the galaxy with the overpopulation.
