its competitive. does as good as you would expect ryzen todo on the CPU side but pretty much rekts everything else GPU wise

nice that aināt bad. kinda makes me want one now. was it tested against similar nvidia GPUs? such as the 940M? (think thats the gpu in my brother thin-and-light) or mostly intel graphics. if It can go toe-to-toe with dGPU from Nvidia that would be fucking awesome.
edit: holy shit it does, thats one powerful little chip.
Iām going to have a busy but productive weekend. Iām going to start work on a thread for this forum. Itāll be hidden while I tinker away at it till it is ready.

You have me very intrigued canāt wait to see what it is.

yes I believe you are able to set a timer to schedule a topic. was going to do that with my giveaway but decided to just make it hidden instead because wasnāt sure when I was going to make it public.
Those have been out for a few months, though only in like 3 laptops total lol. I was half tempted to get one but realistically I dont use laptops enough to actually need one.
Definitely interesting things tho. If priced well.
I went with hidden cause I also donāt know when itāll be ready for public. Itās going to be a fun and interesting one and involves something I know about.

Its not that I dont want them to exist but im not so sure it would be all that worth it
Adding the $50-200 or so depending on the GPU thats added would lose a lot of the value of ryzenā¦ For a GPU that may or may not be any good.
Unlike on FX where the GPU was a slight bonus. Iād seriously wonder if even a Vega GPU on a desktop would perform well enough to be worth the investment and the added price.
Thatās not to say it wonāt happen but I would be impressed if the desktop APU with both was actually powerful at both as that would be quite a feat unless it was on a Threadripper size CPU or something
it could be possible. r3 1300X with like 16 vega CUs added. i could see the low cost āgamingā machines being a thing
Iām alright with that.

But then it would be a $250-350 quad core with a meh GPU
I mean FM2 APUs had at best what was at best an R7 250.
So that would be an RX 550 or maybe RX 560ish performance which wouldā¦ Be mehhhhhhhhh?
Especially considering how limiting using system ram is probably would be slower not faster.
Not that such a thing isnt possible as long as its priced well it wouldnāt be all that great? Idk. Based on how little weāve seen so far Iām going to guess its not happening for awhile if its even going to.
Would be interesting to see a baller AF one on threadripper though lolā¦ 1800X and a fairly beefy Vega on one chip would be intriguing so long as it could be cooled fairly well
That is amazing, simple, and brilliant.

So Iām trying to get my 4690K to work on my brothers old Z87 which should be easy as Asus has a feature to update the BIOS without an older cpu installed but you need to prepare the bios file using a Windows utility first for it work.
All this utility does it literally rename the file from Z87-PLUS-ASUS-2103.CAP to Z87PL.CAP. Seriously Asus?
Not even surprised I mean it is Asus after all

Asus:
Makes usually good stuff but if you ever have to service or, for some unlucky reason, RMA the things they make ā¦ Yeah about thatā¦
Generally Asus from what ive seen is every third gen or so that something goes horribly wrong but otherwise are good to great.
Iāve had the unfortunate experience of trying to RMA with ASUS in the past and lets just say I gave up on that because it wasnāt going to happen
