Samsung Launches Galaxy Book3 Ultra With OLED Display, S Pen and 2-in-1 Form Factor

Oh, shoot, great point. I watched that video late last night, So I had forgotten I was only a 3050 in that laptop.

But nonetheless, on the GPU side of things, if I am not mistaken the M1/M2 chips don’t have particularly strong GPU offerings compared NVidia’s 30 series. I can’t recall the benchmarks off the top of my head, but I think some of the higher end M1 chips are comparable to a desktop 3050/3060? Something in that arena? And now, like in the case of this a Samsung laptop, we’re moving into the 40 series. I wonder if the GPU performance will leapfrog the higher end M2 chips.

From my experience, in my big 3d animations the M1 max is performing like an geforce dGpu3070
So current M2 max based on scaling it should perform on 4070 mobile level or probably 4060 desktop
But again, m1 max is performing from start to finish, some projects even for hours, while on windows laptop side, after 6-7 minutes almost every "kind of compact" with a proper 3060 dgpu is cut down significantly
Project X on my M1 Max 16" took around 1hour and 13 minutes
Same projext X on my Dell 3060 with intel i9 took the project to almost 2 hours consuming around 88W more on the outlet for less performance than the M1 max...so its a double hit
Very hard to compete with the raw performance/W draw with Apple..unless you go big with proper big laptops that can sustain the load but draws over 200W but at least you have the performance for what you pay for

Is that the case? That’s really encouraging to hear if so. I know I’m not crazy thinking I’ve read that the M1 chips perform close to a 3050, I’m just not sure the use case. Probably video?

Do you use Blender? Have they fully optimized that for Apple Silicon yet?

still under Rosetta2.. i hope soon it will be native because if in 2-3 years if Rosetta2 is no longer supported i have to stay/go back to windows and im afraid in 2-3 years we will have dGpu 6070 or 6080 that will draw over 200W alone, remember the 4070 draws up to 115 Watt in laptops...i wonder if Samsung limited this one at a lower stage from obvious reasons

Its actually 100% native, but you have to redownload it from their website.
 
I have no interest in a Windows laptop, but I sure would like a MacBook with an OLED screen. Micro LED would be even better but it seems it's still going to be years before they can get the cost down and produce them in volume.

At first it looked great then I saw the track-pad off center which would drive me crazy and the side view which makes it already look dated.

Well they have a numpad which pushes the keyboard & trackpad left a bit, I'd think they did it to avoid touching the trackpad with your hands when you want to use the arrows, but yea, aesthetically it's not their best creation.

Also, let's see how thermals turn out.

I wouldn't trust a PC from Samsung. Plus Windows is garbage now.

1st, Why not trust Samsung but trust anyone else? Please name anything "shady" they or anyone else has never done.

2nd, Windows destroy MacOS in muti-window management even with add-ons. I can manag having 4+ windows open and viewable for my work MUCH easier on Windows PC than a Mac. Having an Ultrawide display even more amplifies this. I cant name anything that Mac OS has done since perhaps 10.5 that has had ANY meaningful impact on my workflow. Apple really needs to come up with better ideas. Windows may not always be a step forward in every iteration, but Other than adding DarkMode MacOS has been stagnate for a solid decade or more for my workflow.

Its more ergonomic. Look where your hands are. Its easier to just move your hand down then down to the side. If there was no Num pad having it center would make sense.

And pricing. I might actually research this more since I could get a new larger screen sub $3k

Im so glad to see Samsung "innovate" and release a drastically different phone and laptop, rather than just an iterative phone and laptop. I bet Samsung wont "throttle" the CPU and/or GPU either. 😉

They "innovated" and came up with a notebook that looks like a MacBook.
And if they don't throttle, prepare for some fan noise or a burned out CPU.

So predictable with the negative Samsung comments. Yet people will check to see if they have the better Samsung panel


or hope the rumored BOE displays are as good as the Samsung ones. Or better yet, hope the iPhone 15 they plan to buy uses an actual Samsung display.



Thanks for the 🤣

These are practically two different companies. Samsung Electronics actually has to buy these materials from their own foundry divisions as well.

Are you seriously asking for anything shady Samsung has done? Are you unaware of their history going back well over 50 years of industrial espionage? The CEO being jailed for having a reporter killed for writing bad stories? How they wiped every hard drive in their building when the cops showed up at their door just a decade ago?

The reason most people do not trust Samsung products is because of bad experiences with them, Samsung was well known to be a cost cutting brand. They've since upped their game but you can't erase their history.
