AMD is getting crushed in the laptop market
Snapdragon X2 series up to doubles their performance, Intel has better CPU and GPU performance and now Nvidia with again a better CPU and GPU
The only good part they have left is their HX gaming CPU which powers 16 and 18 inch laptops
REVIEW: ASUS Zenbook A16 with Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is🔥
I didn’t write this review, but I’ve got my own @ASUS Zenbook A16 here on my desk, and everything @BenWilson_x86 said lines up with what I’m seeing so far.
This thing is shaping up to be the Windows 11 laptop I’d recommend to most people who aren't hardcore gamers (although I have been running Steam games on it with no issues, and man, I can't wait for a @Qualcomm handheld gaming device. No heat, barely ever hear the fan, and excellent performance).
For $1,599 at Best Buy, you’re getting 48GB of RAM (yes, 48), a gorgeous 3K 120Hz OLED touchscreen, 1TB of storage, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, which is an absolute monster of a chip.
And it weighs just 2.87lbs / 1.3 kg with a 16-inch display👀
The combo of performance, battery life, thermals, and that display at this price is kind of ridiculous. (1/2)
Why isn't this a bigger story? It's a massive leap forward. eGPUs weren't usable with Apple silicon until now.
I just got Llama 3.2 running on my RTX 3060 connected to my M3!
Hermes Agent support by @NousResearch would be epic.
