@MCH2024@Olrak29_ Evaluating Intel 18a node based on comparison between 388h and hx370 is unfair. Cause this comparison includes factors from architectures. At least 388h beats 258h which uses TSMC n3b, with their cpu core architectures similar.
But I basically agree with your conclusion.
@Olrak29_ CPU it’s a disappointment. It only tied even though 388H is a 5% bin. i18A is really just 3nm class, below N3E. But also Intel CPU IP is rotten.
iGPU is REVOLUTIONARY based on golden pig testing. Only trails laptop strix halo by 20%, comparable with 2070 Max-P | 2080 Max-Q.
PTL is okay, but the CPU side is meh, especially in the lower end parts where the clocks are LOWER compared to LNL and ARL
iGPU: Good, waiting for more tests
NPU: Who cares
Power consumption needs more testing in other devices, I don't trust Asus enough (review device).
@MMatt14 He used AI to fix bugs he did not understand in a language he is not an expert in (as stated by himself) in a 350 line python file for a fun side project. Why are we extrapolating this to vibecoding the Linux kernel?
@MoiDawg I use brave due to the excellent performance of it's android client compared to firefox android. And I use brave on desktop for convenience of password syncing.
It feels good in general.
