    Already obsolete, like lower end Nvidia cards. Just make 8 GB of VRAM a standard, since games require it to max out textures.
    The maxed out textures are for 4k.

    I just am tired that it is 2020 and AMD still does not provide 4:4:4 encoding/decoding support. NVIDIA did it with Maxwell. Intel did it with Ice Lake. So why not AMD?!
    VP9 is another big bummer and imo it's more important for laptops, because YouTube defaults to VP9 and a browser extension has to be installed to use H264...

    The Radeon RX 5600 XT was officially announced. As expected, this Navi card "ultimate 1080p gaming" card has 36 compute units, 1375MHz game clock, 1560MHz boost clock, 6GB GDDR6 video memory.

    At least they announced laptop CPUs that are powerful enough to compete with high-end Intel offerings that make for nice workstations. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for a P series ThinkPad with such a CPU, and hoping Lenovo won't botch it…

    15 watts for a 8c/16t laptop APU? I'd prefer that it was at least Vega 10/11 instead of 8 and I'll take a look at the rest of the lineup later, but I will definitely be buying my new laptop this year (replacing a 2009 13" MacBook pro).

    AMD! Where's your 5900 XT already!
    I am still waiting for the high-end Navi card!

    If only that six was an eight, I might care.

    Yep. My antique Radeon HD 7950 is probably able to run vkQuake in 4K ... which doesn't make it a modern 4K card.
