The Zen based APU platform is going to cause real problems for Intel in the laptop/ultrabook market, Ryzen's power consumption looks very low and their iGPU technology is years ahead of Intel's.
- slantyyz 10y ago>> The Zen based APU platform is going to cause real problems for Intel in the laptop/ultrabook market Technically this is true, but unlike the desktop market where you can buy stuff in pieces, it really depends on how the laptop manufacturers adopt them. As in how fast they show up in product lines, and in which laptop segments they show up in. If, for example, Intel gives laptop manufacturers pricing incentives (legally or not) to stick with their chips, it may not cause any problems at all with respect to actual customer purchases.
