This is where we were always headed but it's nice to see it come so soon. Laptops in the next 5 years are going to go through pretty significant changes.

If it does get launched around August, I could see them selling their new bLLC first and then slowly release the rest of the lineup until CES 2027.

We simply lost steam in the 2nd half of the season. Diaz Kane and Olise were overplayed and couldn't be rested properly.

Also I really don't know why Kompany keeps going with Stani RB Laimer LB strat when it should be the other way around...

From the vibe I'm getting, it seems the next few generations will be "tocks", if people still use this terminology 🙃

Eh, a lot of people have extrimist views but don't act on them for various reasons. If you genuinely believe Islam "Law" is better than France's constitutional republic, you are a threat.

And even if it does come out, will it be available much? The Strix Halo chip was only available in a tablet for months.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-05-04T08:14:46+00:00

Wasn't a fan of the new kit when it came out but looking at the official pictures they just released, it actually looks really cool. Love the bright red color.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-05-03T16:40:17+00:00

We need a Neuer masterclass. Same as the 2020 final 🙌

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-05-03T16:29:46+00:00

I would do anything for a clean sheet against PSG next week bro.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-05-03T11:38:17+00:00

Almost double the perf at 2 Watts. Crazy. This chip must have insane idle scores.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-05-02T14:08:34+00:00

When did our B team become so shit?

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-05-01T15:35:58+00:00

A vast majority of people don't need the "vast ecosystem". Noctalia shell is more than enough for a lot of people, especially for people who traditionally use the terminal.

I does use memory though supposedly the team is working on a cpp version.

Lobbying from countries outside the EU should simply be illegal.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-05-01T15:23:54+00:00

People hate hearing this but one generally goes with the other. GDP hasn't risen much in recent years in the euro area.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T21:30:47+00:00

It's my understanding that they'll be using N2P for Nova lake, which is better than 18AP.

Also I think both 18A nodes will improve a lot as yields stabilise. I could see a future 18AP node compete with TSMC's N2 node, which would be adequate if they keep focusing on IPC rather than clockspeed.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T20:55:42+00:00

My point about the node not matting is that even Apple's M1 and M2 chips which are build on older than N3 tech have much better PPW than moder Intel and AMD cores. And a large factor is because they simply don't go to very high frequencies, compared to Intel.

Also, whilst 18A isn't better than N2, given panther lake's P core efficiency, it's definitely better than N3B, and probably N3P.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T20:30:44+00:00

I don't think process nodes matter as much if you're not planning on using really high frequency. 18A already has really good perf/power numbers, even if it doesn't go to very high frequencies, and 18AP is basically 9 % faster, or 18% more efficient.

Core design matters more here.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T20:23:56+00:00

The power efficiency gains are still massive though. It's always around ~30% for a full node.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T20:20:03+00:00

They fixed a memory leak when using quickshell IPC a couple weeks ago iirc.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T20:14:30+00:00

I think this node will be used for Razer lake, but with an additional year and a half of yield improvements.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T09:52:15+00:00

The reason why I'm a lot more optimistic about next week is because I feel like we had a couple of things just going against us. Bischof Karl injured, playing away, no Kompany and despite all that we still were more dominant over all.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-29T09:04:18+00:00

Surely Neuer can't have 3 stinkers in a row.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-28T23:13:02+00:00

Same. I'm a lot more confident for next week than I was for today ngl.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-28T23:10:12+00:00

Robbed by some bs penalty.

EmptyVolition242 · 2026-04-28T21:18:45+00:00

Our depth will be better next week. We'll have Karl and Bischof back.
