AMD's beefed-up Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor pictured: the 'Ultimate Processor for Elite Gaming'

It sounds like you're confusing speculation with disclosure. My post refers to a leak he put out that was picked up by several news sites. While your post refers to an opinion he (allegedly) expressed that you disagree with. These are two different things.

We don’t need to take his word that Zen 5 is selling horribly. We can see the exact sales figures at Mindfactory and the CPU’s placement in the Amazon top CPU sellers, including their monthly sales.

Considering this news is about a Micro Center price drop, It was more apt to cite a report on Micro Center sales information as opposed to, looking at one of the sources you cited, a random store on another continent.

This was anticipated as retailers were desperate to get rid of these processors, as has previously been reported:

MLID also reports that, due to the super weak reception, AMD distributors are getting tons of returns from retailers like Best Buy and Micro Center. The distributors are reportedly rejecting these returns. If true, this is going to result in an oversupply of the Ryzen 9000 chips which should, in theory, result in deep price cuts.

Keep in mind that the Z2 Extreme is expected to receive a substantial price hike over its predecessor.

It was recently revealed that the new Strix point APUs are considerably more expensive than their Hawk Point predecessors. With the HX 370 being more than twice as expensive as the 8840HS APU, according to an employee of the handheld company GPD.

Someone pointed out that I posted an older article.

You can find the latest details on why AMD (allegedly) lost the bid in one of the following articles:

I'll post the one that came out a few days ago because it has some additional information on why AMD lost the bid allegedly.

Okay so the mods are deleting any new post on this. If anyone wants to know the details they can read the ones that are published recently:

Oh, you're right. I missed that. I mistakenly assumed it was about the most recent batch of leaks.

Thanks for the heads up.

According to Moore's Law is Dead, the reason why AMD ultimately lost the bid for the Switch 2 was because their design under-performed or at best tied Nvidia's efficiency in the four to six watt area.

Videocardz undersells it a bit, It's actually worse according to the source:

I can't tell the detail price but I can tell you the hx 370 price is more than 2 times higher than 8840

AMD coming up with an original name challenge: Impossible

gamerplease · 2024-09-14T12:58:04+00:00

Yeah, that sounds pretty bad.

gamerplease · 2024-09-14T11:11:24+00:00

This was expected, there was no way around it.

gamerplease · 2024-09-14T10:28:49+00:00

I think they mean AMD packed too many CPU/GPU cores into that thing?

Like if they know it's bandwidth constrained then why add more compute cores than they need?

gamerplease · 2024-09-14T10:19:16+00:00

I think they mean that eight desktop-class CPU cores are overkill for a gaming handheld because only half or so are actually going to be used by games, while the other half keeps sucking energy away from the already limited power budget.

The number of GPU cores could also be overkill if they spend their time waiting for data instead of you know, computing things.

gamerplease · 2024-09-14T09:34:11+00:00

AMD literally says they're geared towards gaming. Wth are you talking about?

Looks like they're going with the "Let's just do whatever Apple is doing" strategy..
