My nearly 2 deacade old laptop does

Lol.

It was the last Compaq laptop

But that's pretty much the exception.

Yes, unless you wont even older (Compaq Portable :D)

Panasonic Toughbooks offer a 4:3 option! hell yes

i upgrade to one of them when this one finnaly dies

I won't upgrade to anything unless it has an amd ryzen 4000 or above. Intel isn't that great on laptops anymore.

All my recent desktops I built have been AMD, and the desktops/laptops I've recommended for relatives have also been AMD. Just wish my laptop was AMD but it's a security centered Linux laptop (it's made by Purism) and they secured the microcode in the Intel chip years ago but Ryzen is still to new and they haven't been able to remove all the potential security problems in it yet.

My P4 is so old it lacks the modern stuff needed to be exploited by meltdown/spectre (the branch predictor)

I find it odd that they would prefer to use a processor that is so old that they keep finding new exploits and more frequently then amd. I mean that's just silly if you ask me

its more that intel got complacent during amds uncompetive bulldozer days

It's an 9000 series Intel so not that old

and didn't invest much into RND

so they just reused the same arch over and over

and 11th gen will finnaly bring something different than a skylake refresh

After all, if you turn over the system every generation or so amd will be using a slightly newer/different core architecture.

yeah, zen thourgh zen3 each time the architecture is SIGNIFICANTLY different, less time for exploits to build up baked into the same arch released several times in a row

Yeah. Its crazy how long Intel sat on their laurels.

It's the reason my AMD stocks are through the roof in profits

I mean don't get me wrong, amd screwed the pooch on the bulldozer era with piledriver and excavator. But they learned a hard lesson and I think lisa sue has done an amazing job guiding amd out of its hole and back into the spotlight. It didn't hurt that Intel screwed them selves.

im very impressed with how far amd has come since bulldozer

I wish I had been smart enough to get in on that action. Lol.

and glad that intel is finally doing something again

What's crazy is that they did it on a shoe string budget for their rnd.

With the beat down AMD is doing on Intel, now they need to focus on Nvidia. While they aren't great in the consumer GPU market, they are still quite competitive with the workstation market. Now if AMD can get the market off Cuda to open compute standards they will really take off in the workstation and server market.

i mean other than RTX the 6000 series is really good

I think navi was a great stepping stone.

i wonder if the 7000 series will be like the HD 7000 series

ie really damn good

Ray tracing is about on par with the 2000 series. Which is not bad considering they never did it before.

yeah

Well if the patent I read is true then it'll be awesome.

patent?

On dec 30th 2020 amd filed a parent for chiplet gpu cores.

hell yes, if that is anything like what it did for their CPUs it will be amazing

So it sounds like Rdna is about to get a whole lot better.

I still have my 7850 in one of my drawers just in case I need it to test a system that does not have a built in GPU. Particularly when my main workstation is water-cooled (including the GPUs) so testing isn't easy.

I have an ATI radeon 7000m in my laptop, boy i sure wish it was a HD 7000 series XD

and a Pentium 4 desktop file server has a Radeon HD 7570 custom pcie 1x edition
