AMD has its fair share of blunders, they are surely hasty and have struggled to put out good products until relatively recently. But, I actually don't think they have, any time recently, released a literally identical CPU lineup as if it is a new generation of CPUs. The 14th gen Intel is interesting because it's actually really the same processor. Not just stagnation, but literally not a new lineup of CPUs. Intel did do this a few times before, but at least we know why (rest in peace, 14nm++++++.)
- yread 3y agoIt's not a whole lineup but a bunch of processor not easily identified from the type name are of the previous generation. For the current mobile 7000 series there is a mix of zen4 and zen3+ that confuses consumers and I think is worse than just releasing the same CPUs with a different number. For example https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-7-7736U-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.684252.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-7-7736U-Processor-Be...
- icegreentea2 3y agoAMD has never done that for an entire lineup, but AMD has released plenty of rebadges sprinkled through their mobile lineup - arguably even worse for the unsuspecting buyers. This is why as annoying as their new mobile naming strategy is (like 7840 with the 4 standing for generation) is actually an improvement. For example, AMD mobile 5XXX series contained a mix of Zen 2 and Zen 3 parts. For example, the 5500U is a Zen 2 part (but the 5500H is Zen 3). The 5700U is Zen 2 (but the 5600U and 5800U is Zen 3). This isn't to defend Intel - this launch is pretty bleh.
