APU's are comfy though

2016-08-08 16:22:13 UTC  

With DX12 MultiGPU (if used) I can just assume they will use influence to keep SLI etc standard API being used

2016-08-08 16:22:25 UTC  

You could, if the APU was good enough, use the APUs extra GPU juice to boost the card a bit

2016-08-08 16:22:55 UTC  

or am I out of my mind now ._.

2016-08-08 16:22:59 UTC  

I'm one of those guys that's waiting on what Zen has to offer in terms of APUs

2016-08-08 16:23:11 UTC  

Must be better than Bulldozer/Excavator cores

2016-08-08 16:23:15 UTC  

(and other CPUs in general)

2016-08-08 16:23:15 UTC  

Well

2016-08-08 16:23:21 UTC  

I think many are in this boat

2016-08-08 16:23:36 UTC  

Cause upgrading from an Intel platform to another Intel platform doesn't really give alot of performance boost

2016-08-08 16:23:47 UTC  

Alot of people are still sitting on Sandy Bridge rigs

2016-08-08 16:24:08 UTC  

I looked at Intel performance gains

2016-08-08 16:24:09 UTC  

minimal

2016-08-08 16:24:20 UTC  

It was so nice to just buy old server CPUs when they got dumped

2016-08-08 16:24:27 UTC  

And get the most awesome H.265 encoding speed ever

2016-08-08 16:24:31 UTC  

It doesn't, since Intel's been focusing the majority of their R&D on ***muh optimization***

2016-08-08 16:24:35 UTC  

for great value

2016-08-08 16:24:40 UTC  

so, power efficiency

2016-08-08 16:24:45 UTC  

But Intel has decreased nm, consumption haven't they

2016-08-08 16:24:59 UTC  

I believe so

2016-08-08 16:25:13 UTC  

I'd also recommend AMD APU's in a heartbeat for HTPC builds though*

2016-08-08 16:25:28 UTC  

Lappies get most of the performance gains of Intel iterations

2016-08-08 16:25:36 UTC  

Yeah, can just see this comfy mini-ITX with AMD APU

2016-08-08 16:25:43 UTC  

But the desktop side is very bleak, and only AMD can bring a real gamechanger

2016-08-08 16:25:51 UTC  

But would be much more sweet with Zen/Polaris APU

2016-08-08 16:25:54 UTC  

If they don't, we'll sit on the same performance bubble for the next decade or so

2016-08-08 16:25:55 UTC  

yep

2016-08-08 16:26:06 UTC  

What I hope for

2016-08-08 16:26:23 UTC  

Is that we change architecture, and like with mobile CPUs, sees a whole bunch of companies competing

2016-08-08 16:26:31 UTC  

Intel did it right, so they deserve the money too

2016-08-08 16:26:44 UTC  

can you really compain and say hey please take back your archievements?

2016-08-08 16:26:49 UTC  

Well

2016-08-08 16:26:55 UTC  

Intel gave rise to the cheap Chink tablets

2016-08-08 16:26:55 UTC  

and be slower like AMD

2016-08-08 16:26:55 UTC  

Is to design a revolutionary mechanical exoskeleton using a networked system of electrostatic coupling to be more efficient than ever before, at a much lighter weight?

2016-08-08 16:27:01 UTC  

or is that just me

2016-08-08 16:27:02 UTC  

With their attempt to buy into the market

2016-08-08 16:27:03 UTC  

heh

2016-08-08 16:27:10 UTC  

They failed though

2016-08-08 16:27:13 UTC  

Dropped the Atoms

2016-08-08 16:27:16 UTC  

It doesn't matter for us
