    this whole thing has really put a damper on the pog potential for lunar lake. was hoping to finally replace my college laptop (now literally falling apart at the hinge and chassis) come the fall but :/// maybe it’ll be zen 5 for me instead

      I never put that much pog potential on lunar lake since it was being marketed for “co-pilot+ pcs” and AI while the benchmarks I’ve seen from it don’t justify the high price tag, it barely outperforms high class AMD cpus.

      Leave it to a company to open a factory in Israel during the Gazan genocide to not know how to make computers that work.

        do we have any info on pricing yet? regardless there’s some very attractive benchmarking on /r/hardware regarding efficiency gains where it does seem like AMD is lacking atm. i don’t need too much beef, just enough to keep indie games chunking on for the next like 6-7 years without being glued to an outlet (i’ve got a desktop for more demanding stuff)
