The Arc B390 has 20% more cores (12 vs 10) and is 21% faster (call it basically 20% -- nice linear scaling, btw). Not sure I'd call it "Almost as fast", because then one could also say that the RTX 4050 Laptop is almost as fast as the RTX 4060 Laptop, but it's a tier above (20% faster). I'd define a 10% difference as "almost as fast". Find a different term. Still good performance tho, thanks of the linear scaling, which also could mean that a, say, 16 Xe cores Arc iGPU could be 33% faster than the Arc B390, if it had the bandwidth, that is (LPDDR5X-9600 -> LPDDR5X-12800 would be required).

This is like the 3rd news post about Nova Lake's power consumption. The power consumption is not the issue if it's for workstations etc, where this kind of power consumption is expected, the question is how energy efficient is Nova Lake going to be.

Who? Am I not Sobel (so I'm paying myself?), as you said before? Don't overthink it, friend. You might thermal throttle your brain. Stay in the safe sub-50 IQ binary-thinking zone.

Handhelds and ultralights have a new king! Truly epic efficiency here. Performance per watt is truly off the charts for x86. The news just keeps getting worse for AMD...
