First AMD Ryzen Mobile Laptop Tested Shows Strong Zen-Vega Performance (hothardware.com)

MojoKid writes: AMD Ryzen Mobile processors are arriving now in retail laptops from the likes of HP, Lenovo and Acer. With the first CPUs to hit the market, AMD took quad-core Ryzen and coupled it with 8 or 10-core Vega GPUs on a single piece of silicon in an effort to deliver a combination of strong Ryzen CPU performance along with significantly better integrated graphics performance over Intel's current 8th Gen Kaby Lake laptop chips. AMD Ryzen 7 2700U and Ryzen 5 2500U chips have 4MB of shared L3 cache each, but differ with respect to top-end CPU boost clock speeds, number of integrated Radeon Vega Compute Units (CUs), and the GPU's top-end clocks. Ryzen 7 2700U is more powerful with 10 Radeon Vega CUs, while Ryzen 5 2500U sports 8. Ryzen 7 2700U also boosts to 3.8GHz, while Ryzen 5 2500U tops out at 3.6GHz. In the benchmarks, Ryzen Mobile looks strong, competing well with Intel quad-core 8th Gen laptop CPUs, while offering north of 60 percent better performance in graphics and gaming. Battery life is still a question mark, however, as some of the very first models to hit the market from HP have inefficient displays and hard drives instead of SSDs. As more premium configurations hit the market in the next few weeks, hopefully we'll get a better picture of Ryzen Mobile battery life in more optimized laptop builds.

    Can someone please translate this shit into English?

    Yes. The new AMD chip will have great performance, but only if you're on the planets Xen or Vega.

    If you're on Earth, it's real-world performance is sort of meh, but it gives off so much heat you can use it as a high-tech George Foreman grill.

    You can hear my entire review of the new AMD chips, including the flagship Ryzen Pantyripper, but you have to go subscribe to my YouTube channel and enter the promotion code, "SatanicHexen666Manbaby".

    Damn, where'd that Soy stuff come from? Pure projection, out of nowhere. I guess it really is true what they say about living rent-free in your head.

    By the way, to anyone else reading this, eating too much soy really does decrease your testosterone levels and does make you less of a man. Sad but true, hence the new "soy boy" label of weak men.

    Don't worry he got his channel pulled

    No, his channel is still there.

    It was just another right-wing YouTube freak pretending to be persecuted by the SJWs, like the guy who sprayed himself in the face with Axe body spray, pretending it was Antifa attacking him with bear spray and then laid down on the ground pouring milk on his face and crying like a wee bitch.
