Quote from: Vibe on Yesterday at 14:41:11It would be interesting to see if they make something like this later for handhelds but with full 12 Xe3 igpu cores enabled.If they don't make something with more than 4 Xe cores then it wouldn't be faster than Radeon iGPU (but it would have hw ML based upscaling) and the amount of people who would want to upgrade wouldn't be big. While the 12 core B390 power scales really well down to 20-30W, I think for handhelds 10-15W would be more ideal (=smaller device) and I wonder if the B390 can go down to 10-15W and how its power efficiency would be compared to 20W. Otherwise, maybe an 8 Xe cores APU would fit better?
Quote from: Sivious on Yesterday at 15:13:03The article implies that the X series chips also have better CPU performance compared to their non-X counterparts, which I would suspect is only true in this case because this particular X series chip has more cores.Don't worry, X means that the APU has the Arc B390 iGPU (see mentioned Wiki or what Dave2D said). X has more Xe iGPU cores, but the same number of CPU cores and almost the same clock = almost the same CPU performance (maybe a ~5% difference). The article may be a little bit click baity, or sensational, so that people click it [and then maybe the ads].
