We will all get to see when reviewed. I'll reserve full judgement till shown. Mainly because their showing against M1 Pro and M2 in my view isn't enough to validate anything they stated. I didn't see any power usage while running blender render. But, I know for a fact it doesn't matter with the M1 Pro. Not to mention, the clock speed is as you state 4Ghz base. What is M1 Pro 3.2Ghz? That's your 30% right there. And if its hitting 5.2Ghz.. I would expect more. Again, at 45 Watts its more power for more clock. Verses a 1 and a half year old design.
The clock speed is as AMD confirmed it by officially publishing 7940HS's specs.
Anyway you very obviously have 0 idea how AMD's clocks and power scaling work and what does the 5.2Ghz actually mean(AMD has an official explanation of how boost technology works on their chips in case you want to find out).
I honestly can't understand why you insist on having all these opinions and assumptions when you lack very basic knowledge regarding AMD's CPUs, it really exhausting, like talking to a child. Now you are trying to suggest performance expectations for 2 different CPU architectures based on clock frequencies? That's a good one.
This is a guess. Just like I can guess the reason it was delayed was due to it needing to be on 3nm. And selling an M2 at the current process was "good enough" for now. Maybe they could have gotten a 20% improvement on the M2 with 3nm. And its up to 30% for M2 Pro and Max? IDK, neither do you.
Very small chances M2 Pro is on 3nm.
Mass production for 3nm just started and rumors say yields are worse than 5nm were at launch and M2 Pro will be a huge chip. At first 3nm is adequate for smaller chips like the ones found in phones.
These new AMD APUs are really great if M2 Pros need to be on a more advance node in order to compete.
Lots of cores, lots of power, and lots of performance. Nothing confusing here. Did they compare it to an M1 Max or Ultra? If so, I'd like to see it. What's the performance per watt as it scales up is a good to know..
Actually lots of cores and great performance period.
AMD also recently launched the desktop non K 7000 CPUs and the 12 core 7900 uses the same amount of power as the 8 core 7700 in order to complete the task ~30% faster. This is at default specs. More cores don't necessary mean vay more power and lower efficiency. It's really exhausting to explain 101 things about CPUs on this site, but it is what it is.
The 7945HX will burry any M2 Max in total CPU performance, this is a promise, feel free to get back at me in few months, taking in consideration 7950X's performance in eco mode I have no doubts regarding the fact that the 7945HX will be an outstanding laptop chip.
I'll not comment on Nvidia's $#!Tshow of a power-hungry GPU. Whoops.
Great because you absolutely have 0 idea about Ada Lovelace efficiency gain vs Ampere.
