Not impressed by the this chip honestly. The steady state TDP and clock speeds are more in the realm of what to expect under sustained load situations. Burst speed and burst TDP are both not reasonably sustainable in a laptop form factor for any length of time even with good cooling design. Intel's move to list short duration burst speeds that are well above a sustained threshold have been leaving a bad taste since they started up with that practice. Just give me good steady-state performance at a reasonable <25W TDP and leave me alone with a nice quiet, cool-running laptop please.
It's funny reading CPU comment threads. Intel has *always* been, at best, a mediocre CPU company and until very recently an astounding lithography company.
Now people are talking like AMD is an amazing CPU design company and Intel is terrible. Like most of the time in the history of tech, put then on the same process node and there would be very little difference.
What surprised me is when Renoir was announced, there is nothing much mentioned on Anandtech, while Intel’s released got the headlines here.
Anyway, from some of the preliminary results shown on some other sites, it’s clear that despite the 5.3Ghz boost on a single core, it’s barely performing better than a much lower clocked Renoir. Multi core results reveals that given the limited 35/45W TDP, there is absolutely no way Intel’s current chip can maintain boost for long. Therefore it’s trailing AMD Renoir big time in some cases.
i believe in another thread,. either ian or ryan mentioned an embargo date change that they werent aware of, and the review should be out early next week

Finally I can upgrade my laptop, i9-10980x with 4K UHD, GTX 1660 TI and 32GB here I comeQasar - Friday, April 3, 2020 - link
along with a bank loan to pay for it, and your power bill ?? :-)vladx - Friday, April 3, 2020 - link
Troll harder, €2k is nothing when you keep your laptop for at least 5 years like I am.And I don't need a loan for a few grand

only if you do vlad, as i said in a post father up, most of your posts are anti amd in some form or another.s.yu - Friday, April 3, 2020 - link
5 years and not even RTX2060??Irata - Friday, April 3, 2020 - link
No, he followed one of those „earn thousands working from home“ links and is now promoting Intel on web forums.watzupken - Friday, April 3, 2020 - link
