Yet Another RavenRidge Update!
This is an interesting update, it seems that a newer GeekBench entry was submitted. This new entry lands between and i3 for single threaded workloads and an i7 for multithreaded workloads. This is looking a lot better than the first result which I was a little concerned about. I can't wait for Ravenridge!
Ravenridge is getting closer
There has been another "sighting" of Ravenridge, this time it was via Geekbench 4. This specific SKU seems to match the Kabylake i3 in performance, although this shouldn't be the case. It is odd that the 4 "COARS" 8 thread Ravenridge part is performing below the i3. It is possible that the clocks aren't finalized and/or are being misreported by...
Smachz Lives?
After the dissolving partnership with their ODM (rhomb.io) it almost seemed like the end for the "Steamboy," almost. This is a post from CazTGG on neogaf, with NDA'd information from the Smachz's backer's secret forum. AMD has kindly agreed to let us inform backers about the new SoC upgrade. We can officially confirm that we are moving to the latest generation AMD...
I Have Betrayed The Brotherhood!
I returned the Dell with the RX460 and instead bought a cheap ultrabook. I got tired of waiting for an AMD laptop that's decent. I just purchased a used Asus zenbook 13 ux305ca with a nice 1800p Display and a Core M3 APU.
Just picked up a panasonic g7 for vlogs
I just sold my Sony A7 and really side graded to a cheaper and much lighter system. I'm not gonna miss the massive/expensive lenses in the Sony FE range but I will miss full frame. I also want to start a seasonal APU podcast, especially leading upto and after release, the will just fill in the rest on a...
It’s happening! Ravenridge Details!
Oh, how I have waited for this! Videocardz just broke news of various upcoming AMD products from a leaked slide deck. The slides were probably for the supposed teaser on May 16 or the product announcement on the 30th. It goes into detail about AMD's upcoming server parts but that's of no concern to me. The juicy bit is the news...
FInally A 35W APU Laptop! Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Gaming
So I just bought this to replace my broken Lenovo y700 with an older Carrizo fx-8800p and R9-m380, should be a nice upgrade. I'll try to leave my impressions and demonstrate what a 35W APU can do.

AMD’s First Chromebook?!
So here we are, 2 years after carrizo and 1 year after the introduction of stoneyridge, there finally seems to be an AMD powered chromebook on the horizon. Why has it taken so long for AMD to have proper support for chrome OS? I won't even mention the lack of Android as it just points to ineptitude by AMD's management....
Why AMD Why? /RANT
Why is it so hard to give this company my hard earned money? They have what I want yet they continue to let me down with frankly stupid decisions! According to fudzilla AMD is allegedly going to roll out ravenridge APUs (read zen+polaris most likely) in the second half 2H2017. So in the mean time customers are just supposed to buy...
