I would be interested also because AMD has better support in Linux and their mobile GPUs are hard to find in laptops.
- izacus 3y agoThere is a market for mobile gaming, but machines like Razer Blade 14 and ASUS G14 are successfully cornering that market with powerful discrete GPUs. There's no big reason to manufacture iGPUs when a separate chip is much more performant and easier to cool. There's not that much demand for a mediocre-to-poor GPU that's more powerful than iGPUs of current era.
- The_Colonel 3y agoMost gamers game on mediocre to poor GPUs, which are still more powerful than the current iGPUs. My assumption is that such APU would be cheaper than the equivalent CPU + discrete GPU and there's a large demand for budget gaming (e.g. students). Ultimately we will see if/when the Strix Halo gets released, how priced it will be and how successful. I would likely buy a laptop with it.
