@usacomputer:

AMD doesn't care about the laptop (or dGPU) market. At least not yet. They're too busy making their margins on the server market with Epyc CPUs.

It's expected/rumoured to come to and end tho, in 2 years by 2025. Most of the server market share likely become saturated by then. (the parts that were easy for them to take will have been done and sales/growth in that market will slow down) 

By then we should have Strix Halo APU's with RDNA3.5+ which is rumored to be a substantial leap over current Phoenix APU. (way more CU's + Infinity Cache + 256 bit bus) Should be able to deliver PS5 level / RTX 2070 Super perf. but in thin n light by back then.

If you wanna play current AAA games smoothly, I'd skip Phoenix entirely. It simply does not have enough bandwidth due to limited to dual channel DDR5/LPDDR5. (Unlike Apple M SoC's or consoles)

The whole 'everyone betting on 7040 / Ryzen Series Z1 handhelds' is merely just hype train. Pretty sure as soon as Asus reveals the price of 800 euro's for the config that everyone is interested, it's gonna be an instant DOA.

It seems incredible to me how everyone is betting on AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix in these small consoles, what the public wants now is to see it in light laptops of less than 2.2lb since with RNDA 3 so much graphic power has been achieved that it can be play AAA games and render Videos and 3D smoothly. Although what many people are interested in in this ZEN 4 is artificial intelligence as it will be complemented in laptops with the future Windows 12, office and the new Direct XII APIs.

Those bezels...are just wrong. That's not very 2023 at all, it looks nearly a decade old. They should've made the screen 0.3" larger and be done with it, or go 16:10
