Vega means no AV1 decoding in AMD laptops.

While it wouldn't be surprising, I don't think it's certain (they can upgrade the video decoder). If so, then we'll have to wait for Van Gogh for AV1 acceleration.

Vega means no AV1 decoding in AMD laptops. While for desktops, AMD is king, for laptops, Intel Tiger Lake is looking like an overall better proposition for me. With Thunderbolt, I also plan to run a single USB-C monitor, the Dell U2421E which charges the laptop, and has RJ45/Ethernet passthrough as well as USB hub functionality.

I'm waiting for around Q2-Q3 2021 to get the most ultra premium 16:10, 15-17" laptop with full AMD, if not dell xps than something else who will be the first ones.

Hoping to see this in an XPS sooner rather than later!

My memory is a bit hazy, but IIRC XPS line is codeveloped with Intel. Probably we won't see any AMD CPU in XPS anytime soon. Except Dell makes an equivalent of XPS for AMD.

The test results are irrelevant due to the processor being locked at low frequencies, but we do get to see how the upcoming Cezanne APU differs from the Renoir predecessor spec-wise. It looks like the base clocks are receiving a 300 MHz bump and we might see a similar bump for the boost clocks. Furthermore, the L3 cache was doubled from 8 MB to 16 MB.
