I dont give a shit about new games that very much
If it can handle the games I already have well
My mobile lifestyle precludes me to having an APU-based m-ITX build though
You have to remember all games up until now is DX11 based
correct
Or the Razer dock ™
m-ITX with scorpio APU
APU's are comfy though
With DX12 MultiGPU (if used) I can just assume they will use influence to keep SLI etc standard API being used
You could, if the APU was good enough, use the APUs extra GPU juice to boost the card a bit
or am I out of my mind now ._.
I'm one of those guys that's waiting on what Zen has to offer in terms of APUs
Must be better than Bulldozer/Excavator cores
(and other CPUs in general)
Well
I think many are in this boat
Cause upgrading from an Intel platform to another Intel platform doesn't really give alot of performance boost
Alot of people are still sitting on Sandy Bridge rigs
I looked at Intel performance gains
It was so nice to just buy old server CPUs when they got dumped
And get the most awesome H.265 encoding speed ever
It doesn't, since Intel's been focusing the majority of their R&D on ***muh optimization***
for great value
so, power efficiency
But Intel has decreased nm, consumption haven't they
I believe so
I'd also recommend AMD APU's in a heartbeat for HTPC builds though*
Lappies get most of the performance gains of Intel iterations
Yeah, can just see this comfy mini-ITX with AMD APU
But the desktop side is very bleak, and only AMD can bring a real gamechanger
But would be much more sweet with Zen/Polaris APU
If they don't, we'll sit on the same performance bubble for the next decade or so
yep
What I hope for
Is that we change architecture, and like with mobile CPUs, sees a whole bunch of companies competing
Intel did it right, so they deserve the money too
can you really compain and say hey please take back your archievements?
Well
Intel gave rise to the cheap Chink tablets
