Ultra-High or High settings on everything in a package this size is pretty insane. Cyberpunk became the new "can it play it" game as a benchmark. Seeing this chipset crush Cyberpunk this well has me really excited for the coming generation of mobile gaming.

This chip…in a desktop miniPC and with max TDP would be an amazing Steam Machine!

Man, capturing from your camera was the best choice. Looks amazing for an apu.

I frame-by-frame analyzed a segment of the Cyberpunk 2077 test video and I noticed almost no duplicate frames. This means that the game is running at a frame rate close to 60, or even higher

This video put my opinion of ASUS in a completely different galaxy from where it had been previously. I've gotta say, it's pretty freaking cool of them.

[DManLewis]

0:05 bro!! Why does that look so good??? Omg!!

[StuntmanLee]

Oh I didn't need a Steam powered laptop until now 😂

[haru_takahashi]

0:10 when the product code name is better then the official one 😂 what is wrong with these companies

[abdullahzafar]

NerdFest Thanks for doing all the effort in doing this, this was a joy to watch, Thanks 👍

[NothingCoherent]

This APU feels like its going to be the ancestor of some future steam machine custom part

[moretoknowshow]

Already putting this on my pre-order list, all we need is a release date.

Everything’s a Steam Machine!

Wonder how fully Valve is gonna eat Microsoft’s lunch with steamOS? Every loss is MS’s own fault because they refused to optimize Windows for handhelds (or just fork the Xbox OS). Classic Blockbuster replay.

That's amazing dude. On your way to becoming a linux expert! I'm actually suprised it worked that flawlessly. Usually it takes time for drivers etc. to come to linux and you have to run the most bleeding edge distro/kernel/arch etc. to get anything working. I don't think there's much strix halo drivers in the linux kernel atm, let alone fedora/bazzite...

[smerchband]

Thanks for this video, with mine I couldn't wait to just remove windows and make it my main work-and-all-else (except audio recording and mixing) computer. Worked wonderful with Bazzite.

[ethans]

This is so cool! I was all in on the Legion Go 2, but honestly, I think this will be my next purchase instead.

[Notreallyoverit]

What I want to see is this chip in a mini PC in a nice form factor for going under my TV. From what I can tell this should give a PC with the approximate power of a PS5 which would be sweet for couch gaming

[NPCLiam]

When I started the video I wanted this thing simply because of the “Strixpoint Halo” name…it goes hard. After finishing the video my GOODNESS I also want it for how good it looks like it’s running things. Sick video man!

[zelwojtek]

Great job on this. This APU is the beginning of a very bright computing future.

I fell that it's a missed opportunity to use Gnome in this case. I always imagined Gnome to be better on tablets and small screen laptops. For a desktop, KDE runs circles around Gnome.
