64 bit is quite litterally 2^32 times larger than 32 bit.

There isn't a need to go to 128 bit yet

It needs be 10% slower in fp8 and fp16 theoretical performance.

Basically reducing the the clocks from 2.5ghz to 2.25 should do the trick.

Well for starters the memory controllers are smaller on the series s.

Its also 8 cores vs 4 cores.

The Series S also packs 24 CU. With 20 enabled for gaming. The steam deck has 8 CU

For reference the series x has 52 out of 56 enabled. the Ps5 has 36 out of 40 enabled.

The battery life is quite horrendous. Bizarre not to offer usb c charging

Just web browsing lasted 85 minutes

The same model with an i9 13950hx and 4090 did 260 minutes.

As MILD mentioned RDNA 4 will come out around Q3 2024.

Stopped reading right there

Nobody knows the actual flops of the mi300

The mi250x had 95.7 tflops of fp32 due the matrix cores

https://www.amd.com/en/products/server-accelerators/instinct-mi250x

That's more than the H100 even

Amd is better at fp32 and FP64

During 2017 ish Nvidia and Amd focused on different parts with data centre cards.

Amd went in on Compute with fp32 and fp64.

Nvidia went full in on AI with Tensor cores and fp16 performance.

Amd got faster than Nvidia in some tasks. But Nvidia's bet on AI is the clear winner.

Can you believe some people actually defend it?

You already have situations where 7520u (zen2) is slower than 5600u (zen3)

Soon you will get a R7 9730 slower than R7 7740

Or a 9520u being lower than 7540u

It still does.The 5000 is still better than 3000.

That's just facts. Also its a massive change that in the 5000 series, both zen 2 and zen3 are made on the same 7nm.

You cannot say the same for new naming.

7020 and 7030 is on 7nm processes (6nm and 7nm). The exact same as ryzen 5000 and 6000

7040 is on 5nm processes (4nm and 5nm)

They don't belong in the same category at all. The nodes make it quite obvious. They are selling you old and significantly less efficient nodes.

The name is a way to sell old zen2/zen3 cpus as brand new.

Why do you think this is only for laptops and desktop haven't gotten this?

Because you average consumer mostly buys a laptop over desktop and they will have no idea.

Yes.

R7 5800 8 core > R7 5700 8core

R5 5600 6 core > R5 5500 6 core

R3 5400 4 core > R3 5300 4 core

You quite literally gave the best answer of why older names were better.

You think the general public will know?

It has always been first higher number representing latest generation.

Not the 3rd

A 9840h would be slower than a 9750H

I had to look up that chart yo name them. That's how bad it is.
