If all Intel has left over the competition is artificial vendor lock-in, they're in big trouble.

- linuxftw 7y agoCPU for desktops has been commoditized. Intel does a lot in networking, RAM, and storage. Not to mention having almost all of the server space.
- rbanffy 7y agoDesktops is relatively low growth and Intel holds a lot os sway with major integrators. There are about a handful of AMD offers at Dell or Lenovo and dozens of Intel ones.
- HeWhoLurksLate 7y agoAnd I just ordered an HP laptop with a Ryzen APU. Voting with wallets counts, people! If you want to see more AMD laptops, buy them!
- bitL 7y agoYou should have waited for 4000U series... By then you might even have HiDPI screens on AMD laptops...
- NullPrefix 7y agoThere's always something better on the horizon
- bitL 7y ago4000U should make 3000U/H completely obsolete, it's the first mobile Zen 2 APU series.
- tutanchamun 7y agoYeah, especially if battery life is important as it will feature LPDDR4X-4266 support (0.6v instead of 1.2 and low power modes).
- HeWhoLurksLate 7y agoI wanted one now. And yeah, the future is always brighter. My current laptop- an HP Pavilion 2000 has an AMD APU as well- but it's from like a decade ago and it's been showing it's age for quite a while, and I needed something newer. Ryzen 5 3550H, BTW
