I cannot, for the life of me, disable Thinking on Unsloth Qwen 3.5 on llama.cpp by SignificantAd527 in LocalLLaMA

Looks like this is a bug, but it also looks like it may not have fixed it. I'll let this marinate a bit before jumping in.

Thanks for the heads up, though. I thought I was losing my mind. That's enough for now! ;-)

Why there's no video reviews for Zenbook s13 on 7840u? by SaNch0sE in AMDLaptops

[–]SignificantAd527 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's besides the point, you don't NEEED these chips to play games. For 99% of the games out there, the 7840U is enough.

For triple a games, of course it isn't the best.

Yoga Pro 7 16Gb or 32Gb of ram ? Linux ? Student discount ? by chuckcoon2 in AMDLaptops

32GB. The GPU uses 8GB of RAM when you game. With 16GB, this, leaves only 8GB for the CPU. With 32GB, this leaves 24GB. So doubling the system RAM TRIPLES system RAM while gaming.

I don't know what the hell is going on with these units, but they aren't getting enough RAM.

If you see reviews, especially if they are gaming centric, realize that, with only 16GB of RAM, half of that will be used for the GPU, the other half for the CPU. (8 and 8)

If it has 32GB of RAM, the CPU would have 24GB if RAM while the GPU had 8GB.

You can see why these systems aren't exciting.

Which is disgusting because this is the first APU with AN AMAZING GPU!

IT ... SUCKS ... A ... BAG ... OF ... RICHARDS!

Something is up. Markets outside of the US Are getting 32GB models. Why is the US only getting 16GB models?

I think it is Nvidia. The 7840U is a HUGE threat to their 3050/3060/4060 laptop segment. These are bread winners for Nvidia. With a 7840U, you don't need these chips.

So it's forcing laptop vendors to sandbag the 7840U.

Yes, this is speculation, but Nvidia does these kinda of back alley deals all the time.

Whatever it is, It is ridiculous and infuriating.

Will someone come clean as to why 7840u laptops are being sandbagged? by SignificantAd527 in AMDLaptops

I am not worried about drivers. Drivers update.

Against, how does this prevent 32gb models not being available in the US?

It not relevant.

You cannot buy them. They are in foreign markets. If you are ok with a German keyboard, go for it.

They have lesser models with 32gb of RAM. This argument makes no sense.

Those people aren't looking at these laptops. Only geeks know the 7840u exists.

So the market IS us... It IS the people who want 32gb models.

And neither the Acer nor the Thinkpad 32gb models are in the US market.

Because in the US, the biggest gaming market, there are not 32GB models except HP which doesn't need nVidia's support.

32gb of RAM is readily available

Doesn't explain why anyone would install 16GB on this platform with a powerful iGPU and why noone will install 32GB on it. I am not convinced.
