Interestingly, the processors changed slightly. Slightly smaller dies and GPU efficiency cores. But it seems like there are no real performance gains.
OLED version:
6 nm AMD APU
CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz (1.6 TFlops FP32)
APU power: 4-15W
LCD (old) version:
7 nm AMD APU
CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.0-1.6GHz (up to 1.6 TFlops FP32)
APU power: 4-15W
- apatheticonion 3y agoAny changes to battery life? Perhaps they are more interested in the improved efficiency
- Zekio 3y agonear double battery life if I remember what I read correct, due to bigger battery and more efficient apu and the display using less power as well
- goosedragons 3y agoYes, but they also added a larger battery.
- jeffparsons 3y agoI would guess it has more to do with current and anticipated future availability than anything else. I don't work in hardware, but I've read some wild anecdotes about the extreme difficulty of establishing a stable supply chain if you want to keep manufacturing exactly the same product for N years. I guess this won't be any surprise to the HN crowd, but often when you buy an X, it will have some different parts to the X (identical SKU) from last year and the year before.
- hiisukun 3y agoI think this is important to prevent fragmentation -- it's too early in the steam deck product cycle for games to only run on "Steam deck OLED" if there was 10% extra performance.
- rldjbpin 3y agoyou could probably squeeze out more performance at the same power limit vs the lcd soc.
