The 5700G is an 8 core / 16 thread part with a 65W TDP and will cost $359. The existing 8 core CPU, the 5800X, costs $449, so that's not a bad price.
It does run 100MHz slower, and it has half the L3 cache and only PCIe 3.0. On the other hand, it uses less power than the 105W 5800X and has built-in graphics.
The 6800M is basically a reduced power version of the desktop 6700XT. The 6700M is a cut down and reduced power 6700XT - 10GB of RAM instead of 12GB, and about 90% of the performance. And the 6600M looks like the leaked specs for the upcoming Radeon 6600.
It looks like the 6800M isn't quite as fast as the mobile RTX 3080, but it's not too far behind.
Su showed off a version of the Ryzen 5000 with 192MB of L3 cache. The existing high-end parts have 64MB across two CPU chiplets, and the new version stacks another 64MB cache chiplet on top of each of those.
They reported performance gains of up to 25%. Admittedly that's in one specific game, Monster Hunter World, but 25% is huge and MonHun is huge.
It also helps with a limitation of newer process nodes. TSMC's 5nm node is about 35% smaller than 7nm, but only for logic circuits. For memory it's basically the same size as 7nm. With die stacking AMD could produce just the CPU chiplets on 5nm and the cache dies on the older and cheaper 7nm process.
Anime of the day is Strange Dawn, animated by Hal Film Maker (who also did Princess Tutu) and distributed by Pioneer in 2000. Mostly.
In fact the English language release by Urban Vision only got as far as episode 8 before the series disappeared without a trace, which is why no-one really remembers it today.
It's something of a cross between the classic isekai story where the heroes are transported to a fantasy world, and Gulliver's Travels. Because the heroes - heroines - are indeed transported to a fantasy world, but the inhabitants are about six inches tall.
Which means that two teenage girls are suddenly vast and terrifying engines of destruction, and everyone is plotting to gain their trust and/or kill them.
This competes directly with Nvidia's DLSS, except that it's open source and also works on Nvidia hardware. This is exactly what AMD did with Freesync - now an industry standard - to Nvidia's proprietary and expensive G-sync.
Well, it also has 256 shaders missing, but that's about 2% of the total. That's so they can salvage dies with one or two defects.
It will cost $1199 - in theory. The regular 3080 costs $699 - in theory. So you're paying 70% more for a 15% performance boost. In theory. I have no idea what the real prices will be.
There's also a 3070 Ti which looks to be 7% faster than the 3070.
