That macbook neo makes all low end laptops redundant. The Lenovo chromebook is still better spec wise though, I am sure that one is subsidised.

Looks like both Nvidia with 4000 series and higher and Intel with B series has full support for it. Radeon seems to support the API but not the actual reordering which is weird.

It's going to drop down to a 96bit bus from 128bit.
So if memory speed stays the same, we would be looking at 240GB/s of bandwidth.

If nVidia pushes for faster memory, it could make some of that 80GB/s of bandwidth back... But overclocking headroom will be lower.

I think I would personally opt for the 8GB model if I was choosing that class of GPU.

This is likely to save memory chips for A.I/Data centers, 3 chips is easier than 4 to sell to the budget segment.

Intel has seen a 90% performance uplift with the shader execution reordering.

No news on what impacts it will have on Radeon though.

Not necessarily.
The Neo is a brilliant piece of hardware, but it's still running MacOS, which is a deal breaker for many.

For a Netbook class device where you are only going to use a web browser? It's going to cause a tidal wave.

The very least this will force Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Dell and other OEM's to pick up their game and improve their low-end devices or bleed marketshare.

The article of this rumor/leak states that it will jump from GDDR6 to GDDR7, the only kind of memory chips with 3GB products, and will jump from 20 to 28 Gbps and a bandwidth that will go from 320 to 336GB/s.

Thanks for the answer to my comment.
(Thanks as well to you, Jizz)

Pack it in. The real GOTY has arrived.
