AMD says its new laptop chips can beat Apple
AMD showcased new Ryzen AI chips, claiming superiority over Apple's M1 Pro, competing with Intel and Qualcomm. The event highlighted Strix Point Ryzen AI chips on Zen 5 architecture, emphasizing multitasking, image processing, 3D rendering, and gaming improvements. AMD's claims lacked concrete evidence, focusing on enhanced performance and architectural improvements. Real-world performance, battery life, and competitiveness with rivals remain uncertain until laptops featuring the new chips are released.
8 comments> It wasn't mentioned if the chip was running at its full 54W TDP
The 14 core (which are 2 more than the Ryzen) M3 Max has a TDP of 78 watts, so if the numbers are correct this could mean a very impressive performance per watt (which is what actually matters, why does anyone care about raw power?).
Better yet, the chip appears to not even be made with the latest process (TSMC 4nm vs Apple’s 3).
Here is some grounded discussion I could find about AMD Ryzen AI NPU programming https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/1499
From there, here is list of Ryzen AI engine enabled laptop/mini PC models https://github.com/amd/RyzenAI-SW/issues/18
gather all that, I wonder how on earth these benchmarks comparing oranges to apples.
