- ksec 5y agoSamsung Laptop and PC will then have the advantage of lower BOM Cost, depending on how they do the accounting. The X-2 running at 3Ghz is only about 1100 in GB5, I expect this could be pushed to 3.6Ghz and get a 20% increase, which is still only 1320. The A14 used in M1 is ~1600 and A15 possibly in the M2 is ~1750. That is a 30% performance gap. Although I suspect the X-2 will be running at lower wattage, so the perf / watt isn't that far off. And Samsung gets the benefits of using AMD GPU, which is interesting because Dr Lisa Su said those technology would not be used in PC industry competing directly against them.
