It's so good to see you again Gordon. Many prayers up for your health brother.

[avinashlp]

Great to see you Gordon!
You are a fighter, Rock on!!

[LYCS]

my father is also fighting cancer. Good luck Cordon!

I have the impression that AAA games (especially ones with anti-cheat and similar systems) are the ones that tend not to run on Snapdragon, and if someone is mostly playing indie-like games, they're much safer. So far I tried to run maybe 10 games on my Surface Laptop 7, and to my surprise all ran without any issues. I think Subnautica crashed once when I tried auto Super Resolution, but even that worked fine afterwards. And I just tried Grounded, and shockingly enough it runs beautifully and smooth with FSR, on low settings, but still looks great.

I love you Gordon, you have a figure for decades and I've following since the early days. God Bless you brother.. wishing you continued success and good health. again love you brother! (You're a real one.!)

[Cerealkiller]

Anyone can speculate when we will start seeing these in handhelds?

[Whales]

Thanks for your hard work. How efficient are these?

[systemBuilder]

I think the AMD compact cores mostly use simpler control circuitry such as earlier generation branch prediction or fewer register renaming sets.

Thank you for this video! Where I can see difference between Zen5 and Zen5c in cache sizes? Didn't saw that difference in 8xxx APUs, C-cores just clocks lower

[leakyabstraction]

Thank you for the excellent coverage, Gordon. Even if this is not strictly new information, I think it's worth revisiting before launch, since a lot of people don't follow the news constantly. I'm excited about Strix Point, but I was also highly interested in Snapdragon X, and I absolutely fell in love with the build quality and low emissions of the Surface Laptop 7, so I simply had to buy it, haha. So far I'm very happy with it. But still these are quite exciting times, and I'm curious to see what will the increased competition between these three companies bring.

[maikschindler]

Does someone wher i can download these slides. I would really like to look at the end notes.

[systemBuilder]

Ryzen AI 370 = 9900HX
Ryzen AI 365 = 9850HX
Ryzen AI 360 = 9800HX

The only reason to get an AI-enabled computer is for the RISC processors that really extend battery life.

[Desilv]

I really hope they will come also to 15 inch laptops.. got myself the snapdragon surface ( 15 inch ).. great build quality ( lot better than asus, hp, Lenovo ) but export video’s after editing takes ages.. really hoping for a surface with the new intel or maybe amd processor..

[yogeshnaidu]

Not a word about battery or efficiancy from AMD and that answers all the main questions. Apart from gaming it stands no chance against qualcomm. Productivity consumers market will soon be dominated by qualcomm by 2025.

[El_Iggy_the_first]

Maybe I missed it.
But apart of the AI component on the chip, does it have the igpu that "Moores law is dead" waa/is vocal about ?
Currently running on Minix 0db brick, very frugal but hot :<)

[mtmtesk]

Which cpu’s performance can compare to this one?

[potatorigs]

It's not about if you game or not at certain price you laptop should run game decently

[brianclarke]

These should be great for those who need performance. However, for battery life, Lunar Lake will be the real competitor to Qualcomm in the PC space. I don't see these being competitive in terms of efficiency.
