I had a Toshiba L505D with ATI/AMD. Although it ran like as hot as a griddle, it was a solid machine. It was my first GNU + Linux laptop and where I learned to edit and compile drivers since it had a non-supported wireless adapter.

Higher power consumption means shorter battery life and the need for larger, heavier coolers.
Also, Intel's vertical integration, smaller node and higher volume means Intel are probably able to sell their chips cheaper than AMD.

Well, I have an old ass Hp G4 laptop with an AMD A6.

It still works perfectly after something like 5 years? I can still play some games like Smite on it and it doesn't overheat. I just had to repaste it with some Arctic Silver maybe a year into owning it.

I also added an SSD a couple of years ago. Shit still flies. Only about 3 hours of battery life, though.

$330 brand new from Best Buy before the $60 SSD upgrade.

APU laptops are amazing. I have an HP M6 with an A10 APU I got like 4 years ago. Despite having an iGPU with dual channel 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM it's still able to average 30-40 FPS in games like crysis 2 or BF3 on medium 720p settings. Performance will only get better especially if we see HBM equipped Zen APUs for laptops in 2017.

I saw a few laptops with the A10 FX-7600p in it. Quad core with great igpu. Problem is the only companies offering this chip or even the family of this chip is cheap stuff from HP. If a company like Sager, Clevo, or even any company that offers build quality similar to a thinkpad/Dell precision had the A series chips in them, they'd be a hit.

I looked and looked and looked. Nothing worthwhile offers the "godvari" chips in them. Sad really.

I got my hands on the 1.3ghz quad core Sempron 3850 and an asrock mitx board for $40 total at Microcenter. The board was $35 but Microcenter has a deal where if you buy and AMD CPU, you get $40 off a compatible board. They gave me the board for $0.01 lol.

It can actually handle a 1440p monitor for moderate usage such as movies and web browsing. Bit laggy, but that's to be expected.

I have an AMD A8 laptop with 4 cores and dual GPUs and it's dreamy.

According to benchmarks it's slower than i3 but it doesn't feel slow. It gets the job done always and fast. I don't think that benchmarks are representative of real usage.

The battery lasts forever, I easily get 5+ hours of usage with web browsing and video viewing, it automatically switches between integrated graphics to conserve battery, it charges quickly, it has plenty of ram, it's light, it's slim, it has a DVD drive, it's silent and it's cold. Very cold.

And is was cheap. Very cheap. It has a 1366x768 screen and it's plastic but I don't care because it looks good and plastic > aluminium. And it just werks.

It was half the price of comparable Intel laptops and a quarter the price of Apple and Ultrabooks.

Best laptop I ever had.
Good job AMD.
Thank you.

>>54137046

The lack of AMD parts in consumer-line laptops is literally the best proof of Intel market shenanigans that you will see, and it gets worse with each passing generation.

The mid and high-end Carrizo parts blatantly outperform pretty much every i3 laptop out there, and offer compelling tradeoffs in the i5/i7 space - and they cost less.

If I had to buy a laptop today, you can bet it would be a midrange Carrizo for about $500-600; one of the few models Intel does let out to play simply to keep things from looking TOTALLY bonkers.

Why are people allergic to AMD laptops you ask? I have an AMD laptop and I've literally locked the CPU to the lowest clock speed it can go so that my legs don't burn off and the fans don't sound like a jet engine. It can "turbo boost" up to 3.5ghz but I have it I have the min/max clock speed set to "0%" which puts it at a minimum of 1.35ghz.

I have an intel laptop with amazing battery life, but it comes at the cost of very poor performance.

I came from an HP FX 7500 APU, Upgraded to the next model .

The 7500 was a solid game performer but the RAM requires replacement.

8800P has slightly better RAM but still needs upgrading to something with better Latency and branding.

In all honesty, for 600-700$ including RAM upgrade cost, one could have a completely pimped out laptop if Ya went with an FX-8800P laptop, Actually Runs cool and battery life exceeds 6 hours surfing WIFI with normal battery settings and full screen brightness enabled.

The CPU doesn't spend a single second on that level.

>The updated MacBook features sixth-generation dual-core Intel Core M processors up to 1.3 GHz, with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.1 GHz

The CPU is going to spend 100% of the time on that turbo boost.
Often even when idling it's on turbo mode.
This was the case with my i5-3210m it's also the case with my current i7-4700HQ and I don't see why that CPU would be any different.

the E-series apus where really poor. they probably only gave them a worse reputation. yes, i know they where supposed to compete with the lowest end from intel but at this point might as well don't release anything. on the other hand their A-series stuff was pretty good and always decently priced, at least here in italy. The problem is that I don't really know how to compare them to intel counterparts. For example, what's the AMD equivalent of an hawsell U-i3? An AMD A4, or A6? Also i'm pretty worried about battery life and shit, although they should have made progress at least since kaveri.

We won't be, when Zen comes out.

But the processor is really running at 3.5Ghz.
>>
>>54156428
Then how are Intel chips rated higher? Say you're looking at system requirements for some game. The Intels are always slower than AMD requirements. But they're somehow comparable. Why is that?

any comparison in frequency between different arches is inherently retarded

regardless of the assessment made

>>54156496
IPC
>>
>>54156496
Because nobody said speed = Ghz.
Speed = Ghz x IPC (instruction per seconds)
Intel CPU has twice the amount of IPC as AMD CPU due to superior architecture.

To tell real speed, you look at benchmarks like Passmark (single-threaded score, multi-threaded score). But this is too advanced for Tom, Dick and Harry.

>>54156537
Sorry, IPC is Instruction Per Cycle, my bad.

I just ordered parts for a home office build.
Im looking forward to see how well the A6-7400k performs especially since i am pairing it with an ssd and 8gb 2133mhz ram.

total oversimplification

>To tell real speed, you look at benchmarks like Passmark
"real speed" is actually harder to gauge than you might think, for various reasons

ideally you will want to compare the CPUs based on how they perform at various real world tasks, and occasionally one arch will have the other beat at some tasks, while lagging behind at others

go look at any old sandy bridge vs bulldozer benchmarks and you'll see what I'm talking about

there is also a small caveat, with regards to Intel's proprietary C++ compiler and the way it infamously sabotaged performance on AMD chips back in the day
>>
>>54156537
>Because nobody said speed = Ghz.
But isn't that exactly what they're trying to do? No layman knows what IPC is. They see bigger numbers and equate them to something like horsepower. Does that mean AMD is preying on that kind of ignorance?
>>
>>54156639
It does, due to superior branch prediction and even a better memory architecture. If you want to understand that you can attend my Level 2 course.
>>
>>54156691
yeah this is a marketing tactic both AMD and Intel have used when they were behind each other technologically

Athlons used to beat Pentiums at a quarter of their clock speed, but retards still went for the bigger number anyway

>>54156707
what does? what are you actually responding to you dunning-krueger addled college fuck?

Because it uses too much power and cost too mich, I prefer ARM.

>>54156394
>AMD processors are rated below Intel without question. Example: A 3.5 ghz AMD is equivalent to a 2.8 ghz Intel.
That's not how it works

>I'm pulling those numbers out of the air. But the reality is very similar. How come this isn't false advertising on AMD's part?
It's not.

The latest carrizo APUs have somewhat decent CPUs compared to the latest laptop i3s from intel.

A Carrizo APU locked to ~1.8GHz will have about the same performance as a skylake laptop i3 locked to ~2.1GHz. The catch is the carrizo APU has 4 physical CPU cores whereas the intel laptop i3 has only 2 physical CPU cores.

The interesting part is the TDP, both the intel laptop i3 and carizzo APU will have the same one. For example the A10-8700B and i3-6100U both have a TDP of 15 watts despite the intel laptop i3 having only having 2 physical CPU cores

>tl;dr
frequency means jack shit when comparing different CPUs.

"Intel has twice the IPC" is a deliberate oversimplification you autistic fuck. I'm trying to explain things to a newbie here.

>>54137046
I like to have decent battery time on my laptop
>>
>>54156178
Why crop out the rest?

Are you embarrassed by your build? Or is the cpu sensor and motherboard sensor actually working?
>>
>>54156839
I've been using AMD for years. But I've never really been clear on why the speeds are exaggerated.

I can understand the market angle, i just don't know how or why they might get away with it. It's like Intel and AMD are measured by different criteria.
>>
>>54156612
I've been considering an a8 7600 or a10 7800 for a while since they're so much cheaper than an i3 but still able to perform pretty good, especially for that price.
>>
>>54156957
The whole lineup seems to handle itself pretty good in comparison to intel's counterpart (pentiums). I could have gone quad core with no ssd and 1600mhz ram or dual core (a6-7400k) with an ssd and 2133mhz. So i chose the latter figuring it would benefit best with browsing/word.
>>
>>54156537
speed = Ghz

>>54157052
My only concern is cpu performance since I want to be able to play planetary annihilation with my friends. My friends i3 2100+r7 260x only averages around 30fps.
>>
>>54156774
I don't laugh at you. ARM is the only real solution in 2016. We only need more RAM in these devices (maybe 4GB) and we could have a decent laptop. Bare in mind, that the resolutions on the current flagship smartphones have xbox hueg dimensions and they already carry octa core computing cores, so the potential is definitely given.

>It's 2016 and an x86 CPU still can't scroll a websight smooth like a single core 1000 MHz iPhone or Android does (Android only lags, it's still smooth).

I'd like a heliox20 netbook 2bh with a huge battery.

Possibly use the chassis as a heatsink too, since it'll be aluminum.

11 inch 720p ips screen, 16-10 screen ratio.
4GB ram
50w battery
Usb 3.0

Also touch screen because Ubuntu unity

>>54157523
AMD "A" series (APU) is not meant to be paired with a gpu. it is more geared to handle browsing,office and or video playback. Some slight gaming if paired with fast ram.

If you can't budget a gpu then your best bet would be an a10 chip with fast ram (2133 or 2400mhz). If you are budgeting a gpu then aim for a X4 880k and whatever 1600mhz ram.

>>54139400
My ASUS X205TA has 11 hours of battery life.

What's your current PC

What's your budget for upgrading?

no clue on that game's requirements
>>
>>54157523
>>54156957
No matter it sounds like what you really want for that game is an overclocked i5 with a ton of RAM
>>
because AMD doesn't have a CPU or GPU architecture that's viable enough for laptop tier form factor without turning it into a 20lbs portable workstation/desktop.

bulldozer/piledriver/steamroller APUs are literally WORSE than core 2 duo performance, now imagine that at 2ghz and aggressively throttling because of how much heat it shits out.
>>
I've got a Lenovo Z50-70 with an A10-somethingorother and with an SSD, it's fine
>>
>>54146441
>intel actually makes the most powerful GPU

Intel HD has got nothing on amd's APUs.
>>
>>54137046
>Why are people allergic to laptops with AMD cpu?

The average person doesn't really know what's good or not. They just listen to what's popular and go with the crowd.

Since too many retards always shit on amd, that became the belief and norm. Hell.. you have retarded gamers who don't even know what's good hardware for PC gaming and they buy a fucking Mac because that's what's popular.

Normal CPU you're fine

I have a Carrizo laptop. Is good man.

I had an a8 laptop and stuck an ssd in it.

It was just as fast as my desktop with an ivy bridge i7.

I have a friend, which is a huge amd fan since always, who bought a fx amd laptop.
well, he said it was the worst choice in his life.
even amdfags admit it.
performance stability so bad......unreliable.....
