Oh wow. I wonder what those 'real' applications are. Cause I know it's not video editing/rendering 3d physics SIM or 3D rendering, compiling code, engineering work, gaming and streaming multitasking, machine learning. The list goes on

These here, probably also weighted as the percentage they have according to their research (which was on intel laptops with 2c/4t btw, so nothing you'd do some real gaming or work upon...):

Browsing, Office, watching Videos, Photoshopping and light gaming.

Exactly the right things to benchmark a PC /sarcasm *facepalm*

Wow, why even make new CPU's if you know, the things people actually use them for run quick enough anyway.

Is the Apple transition to ARM going to hurt gaming on Bootcamp? I'm being rhetorical of course since we don't have that kind of information, but it does have me worried. I plan on building a dedicated gaming PC anyway, but I'm also a Mac user primarily. 

Yes. Yes it will.

In saying that, if you ever bought a Mac primarily for gaming, you bought one for the wrong reason.
They have inferior hardware, they are priced higher, the software isn't always the most optimized for gaming.

Exisiting X86 applications will run through an emulator, so yeah, it will definitely hurt games and gaming performance.

Likely binary translation which will have a corresponding hit to performance.

Intel went down this path by running ARM apps+Android on it's x86 Atom processors... And there was certainly a hit to performance and power efficiency and compatibility.

NVIDIA Posts First DirectX 12 Ultimate Driver Set, Enables GPU Hardware Scheduling

https://www.anandtech.com/show/15880/nvidia-posts-first-directx-12-ultimate-driver-set-enables-gpu-hardware-scheduling

Radeon RX 5600M vs. GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile:

"When looking only at synthetic 3DMark benchmarks, the Radeon RX 5600M is able to outperform the average mobile RTX 2060 by 16 percent in Fire Strike but only 2 percent in Time Spy to suggest that the AMD GPU should perform better in DX11 titles than DX12 ones.

In most real-world games, however, the Radeon RX 5600M seems to perform a few percentage points slower than the average mobile RTX 2060 to be more in line with the GTX 1660 Ti. The notable outlier is GRID 2019 where the AMD GPU tops even the desktop RTX 2060, but this is an exception than a rule."

Intel and OEMs have killed undervolting and there is little that you can do about it. Undervolting is dead. Worse still, OEMs are killing the functionality on older machines too. Undervolting is no longer possible on recent Dell XPS laptops, for example, nor on the Surface Laptop 3 or Surface Pro 7.

Got my new laptop. Surprisingly hasn't exploded yet, despite the AMD CPU. It's the first AMD anything I've owned or used in over 10 years.

Lol, it doesn't have a right ctrl button. It would be where the fingerprint scanner is.

Thanks.

I like ultrawide monitors, but those extreme ultrawide are too wide for me. I'd end cross-eyed!

Thanks for the Cyberpunk goodies. Shouldn't Slightly Mad Dog be working on its super*dupper console, not Project Cars 3? Or have they already forgot about it?

You've joined the red side, Viv. Embrace it...

Thanks for sharing. I'd be surprised if the SOnic deals won't last during the whole Summer Sale.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

I can't embrace the red side. Now that I have given AMD money they're way too well off and probably already planning to push Nvidia out of business. Which means now I really have to buy a 3090 to help Nvidia back on their feet.
