difference between the CPUs when it comes to laptop vs desktop existence. In the desktop CPUs, the differences are usually big but the allowed differences in mobile CPUs are very slight. There is absolutely no difference between mobile and desktop CPUs when it comes to performance. The best mobile CPU will always be parallel in power to the best desktop CPU, but because of thermal and power constraints, the mobile version will get down to the performance of the desktop CPU. So the whole issue comes down to the fact that the cooling system in the laptop has to work harder as it has to cool a CPU that is pretty much the same as that of the desktop.
Another factor is that 5.7 GHz is not the final frequency of the transistor but the maximum one that the manufacturer guarantees. This is because the CPU can clock up to 5.7 GHz only if the cooling and power supply are extreme, usually not found in regular desktops. In other words, the computer’s cooling system has to work very hard because it has to cool a CPU that is just as powerful as the desktop’s.
What about prices? No information has been disclosed by AMD in this regard. And it is very likely that the new CPU will not be cheap, as the faster it is, the more expensive it always is. Also, a new motherboard would probably be needed along with fast RAM and a strong GPU. For instance, ASLPro3D jokingly commented, “your left testicle… Right testicle subject to claim with additional motherboard, RAM, and GPU…” Ouch!
RAM is indeed a sore point. Halloween ON TOP highlighted the obvious: “Now if only the RAM wasn’t 7x the price for retarded ai bots.” And JamesPond2500 was in full agreement: “If only memory was affordable enough to build a PC with it…” So, even if you can buy the CPU, everything else of the system is still looking painful right now. It is a real joy killer.
And then there was flat-out, unadulterated gamer skepticism. Is this unbridled power really what we want? TheTJShow74 went on to say, “That’s just way too much for gaming.. Production? Sure. But just purely gaming? Way too expensive.” And mikerichtaylor retorted with some heavy sarcasm, “Experience brain-dead AAA gameplay loops at 90 FPS with 3% nicer-looking water!” The remark hits harder because of the truth it contains – what’s the value of all those frames if the games are neither fun nor optimized? basedtweetsonly made a similar joke about it running ‘Mih Wilds at 60 fps without upscaling and frame gene’ along with a clown emoji, which signifies the difficulty of running new games smoothly.
You also must sympathize with the people who have just upgraded to the last generation. mr_walls11 cried out, “My 9800X3D is now obsolete 😔 while theXinhabitant reacted with a crying emoji, “Same and I just got mine oh well.” Such is the brutal cycle of PC hardware, man. You get the best thing only to have it become old news six months later. On the contrary, Peter Steele is over there flexing with “My 9950X3D begs to differ, and I have seen mine hit 5.7Ghz so. . . ..” Okay cool guy, we get it.
The side discussions about laptops and availability are pretty interesting too. Stephen (sworland11) asked why such a difference between the CPUs when it comes to laptop vs desktop existence.
