sucks that 8850 will come out 3-4 months after and cream it
sucks that 8850 will come out 3-4 months after and cream it
Awhy are they even releasing it with this older one then
A8840 or how its called is a rebadged 7840
Aso no changes there
Abut amd released plans which say they will do Q3 2024 Zen 5
Aoh
Aas a limited release, then i guess the chips will be mass produced as 9850 in 2025
AWhat if they just released power efficient chips like the one in the steam deck
©Public funding for development of prototypes FTW 
Apart of the sd chip is that its tuned for power efficiency and part of it is that the kernel is tuned for power efficiency
Ain the steam deck
Aessentially they disabled every fancy thing the cpu has
Aand gimped it into only having a single tdp value. Then they did the same with the kernel governor stuff
Ahttps://github.com/hhd-dev/adjustor#alib-commands heres what i need to decode on the legion go right now
Asd only has 1 value
Ahow much does that affect the performance?
Aand thats only after decoding a single function
Awell for example right now custom mode is broken on the legion go
Afor tdp
Athe manufacturer controls. Because the lenovo engineers dont understand them either
Aso the only way to use granular tdp on the go is ryzenadj, even on win
Aprobably a good 30% juice there. Then if we can undervolt a tiny bit
Alots of options
Athat's what happens when you rush a product
Ahow much time did they even spend on the legion go anyway?
Athey didnt rush it
Aits just... this crap is too complicated
Amaybe they can get around to it once they fix the bios typos
Athe battery life sure seems rushed though 
KTrusting 1st gen lenovo hardware is risky in general
Ai will give it to you this way, only lenovo and asus have tdp controls in the market right now
AGPD no, Ayn no, Ayaneo no
Aayaneo bundles ryzenadj with their aya space thing
Aand I guess valve has tdp controls too, which amd specifically implemented and tuned for them
Ai mean, i guess i'm not surprised. manufacturers typically don't expect their users to essentially voluntarily throttle down the performance of their machines
Awhich is basically what TDP control is in a nutshell
Anormally manufacturers just leave it to the OS to manage power
Athe os does a pretty bad job tbh, or at least on the steam deck
Ai mean, linux in generally has had a spotty track record of power management on laptops
Athere's a reason why tools like tlp exist on linux
Atlp?
AAohh looks nice, looks like it's not on the deck yet though
TI used to use Ubuntu on an old Dell laptop in 2006-10. Power management and sleep were always something I was worried about. I’m so glad things are much better now
Anobody has done tdp while gaming before handhelds came out
Aliterally 0 reason to game on a laptop without being plugged into the wall
Aso may as well juice it and get max fps
Aesp. since laptops with dedicated gpus use like 200w
Aafter 100wh a battery is considered a bomb by the tsa
Athis is changing as we speak but yeah...
Aso what, you get like half an hour while not plugged into the wall and you can stretch it to an hour?
