The Z1 series are not a great investment, they don't get updates from AMD like the 7000 series gets.
Buy the 7840 line instead.

I'm a fan of this product.
Just in time to replace my AMD phenom ii X4 955 BE.
Prometheus on 4nm, Samsung 4nm? While also on TSMC 3nm?
I'm pressing X on this one.
If they are buying Samsung 4nm it's probably just to put zen4c on.
Linus touched on a potential reason why there's no VRR.
It would have to be 3nm based as 5nm isn't enough of a jump from 7nm to give valve the performance jump they are looking for.
Zen5c cpu is the most likely CPU successor due to smaller die space than zen5 normal and how it won't need to boost to 5Ghz+ like in desktop/mobile SoC's.
RDNA 4 is the most likely GPU successor as RDNA3 is a dud and RDNA5 won't be ready in time for SD2(late 2025 IMO).
LPDDR6 is possible, speeds starting at 12800MT/s vs the SD OLEDs 6400MT/s.
The Z1 chips also don't get AMD software drivers, they get it from whoever makes the device(Asus for the Ally etc).
