For all the "wow" commentators, just wait till you see the zen5 epycsEven the Mi300 next year will be bonkers.
Now, what I would really like to see is a passively cooled desktop chip. Just the other day I realized that my use of computer didn't change at all since Pentium 200 days which that had a TDP of 13W and ran all I wanted just fine. Only drive for more performance has been fsckin web and multimedia consumption. So it should be doable to do these things today at 2-3W tdp ... Why are we not doing it?

As for why ultra-low-power SKUs aren't a thing - they are not successful in sales. Even though I personally loved Intel's 4-7W M/Y series, overall market adopted them very poorly. Part of the reason is these SKUs were premium and people did not want to pay premium for subpar performance in relation to higher power U series. Another part of the reason I guess that use case is too niche: there are not much users (overall) who want to sacrifice performance for better battery life/noise. Basically these SKUs are not economically optimal for manufacturer to make.Last edited by drakonas777; 11 November 2022, 04:44 AM.
