Posted by 32 GB of 128 GB RAM? DOA
 - July 14, 2025, 15:48:12
Using the expensive Strix Halo, 256-bit, chip, but giving it only 32 GB RAM is major trolling. DOA.

AMD specifically advertises the Strix Halo, a 256-bit chip (4 * 64-bit, also known as quad-channel) for LLM self-hosting (see AMD's slides about it), but with only 32 GB RAM, instead of the up-to 128 GB RAM, that this 8000MT/s, quad-channel, chip supports, it's literally major wasting of silicon and hardware. At least 64 GB RAM would have been ok. Unbelievable.

QuoteHowever, with some newer titles, we had problems, as the games would not start due to insufficient VRAM.

wait..what? "insufficient VRAM"? its supposed to pull from 32GB system RAM to fit whatever memory need the process demand is my understanding. is hp implementation wrong or the game requires more memory than what the system can provide with 32GB pool?

I had random restarts or points where it would freeze also too. In addition to this, certain large downloads for me just kept ending up corrupted. For reference, this was on 385/32GB/FHD-IPS variant.

BSODs no, but as detailed in the review, the ZBook restarted during the battery testing without warning. This was with the latest BIOS offered by HP installed.

@ Benjamin Herzig

I had to return two HP ZBook Ultra 14 G1a units (390/64GB/OLED) due to repeated BSOD or restarts without warning.

Did you experience any of these issues during testing?

I am considering buying another unit – wondered if the issues were fixed.

Hard to get excited when Nvidia is blatantly refusing to serve the consumer market. People are practically begging for a true non apple alternative yet they're too busy milking AI.

Ignore the iSheep. When Cinebech shows Apple M chips to be the fastest then it's an absolute perfection of an ultimately relevant benchmark to them. As soon as Apple M is not the fastest there anymore the whole benchmark immediately becomes an absolute junk and suddenly only relevant ones are those where Apple M is still leading.

I think you forgot to take your pills.

Fine you like CB2024? Compare the ratio between Apple M4 and other Intel, AMD CPUs with CB2024 and with Geekbench!

Cheetbench is giving to Apple 30% higher score than CB2024.

Quote from: Dont_Look_Up on July 05, 2025, 11:06:12I have a question regarding Geekbench. It seems that it is giving 1.5 times higher score to Apple M CPUs in comparison to any other Intel or AMD CPU than any other benchmark (like CB 23, CB 2024, Blender etc) gives. It creates such a false impression about the Apple M series and many articles use only Geekbench to compare CPUs...

For example in this article both Ryzen halo 395 and 390 are faster than M4 14 core in CB23, but in Geekbench, M4 is faster than the Ryzen 390 by 44% !

It is simply a biased and unreliable benchmark and I don't understand why reviewers use it at all.

JUST THE USUAL R23 CLOWN trying to justify x86 superiority with a bullshit x86 biased benchmark that was compiled for M1(even that was poorly done).
CB2024 M4P 1780
M4M 2150
STRIX HALO isnt winning s***
