Whelp, here comes the 6 and 8 core TGL-H https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-tiger-lake-h-cpus-claw-their-way-into-lenovo-legion-laptops

So... very near 1080ti performance with 30% lower power consumption and DLSS / RT. The only downside is actual retail price which can't be blamed squarely on Nvidia. Seems like a solid card... when its available at MSRP.

AMD will need to get a cheaper 8 core part out soon. The 10700F looks to be 5800x performance at 5600x price. I would think that they could finally divert some production away from their SOCs that were taking priority.

Really cool backwards compatibility frame rate doubling (and even quadrupling!) of some older games. 3 out of the 5 games were only coded for One S, so they will be in the 900/1080p range. That said, going from an unstable 30 fps to a locked 60 fps really brings life to some of these older...

Considering the price of the entire system, it is not that much cheaper and you lose over 25% cpu power.

Guess it makes sense. Still better than an APU and there was never a GTX 2030 or GTX 3030 card. My LP 1050ti still works well for older games at 1080p and the nvenc is a great match with AMD CPUs.

At $230, the 10700F has to be the ultimate gaming value right now. https://www.techpowerup.com/278430/intel-apparently-discounting-10th-gen-cpus-in-bid-to-claw-market-from-amd#comments

Nope it looks to be a free for download for life for anyone with Gold or Gamepass Ultimate. https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/01/22/new-games-with-gold-february-2021/amp/

Grab it ASAP!

It would really be a shame if Cezanne didn't make it to DIY. It has the potential of taking on TGL-U/H as well as RKL-S. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-7-pro-5750g-zen-3-apu-reaches-475ghz-all-cores Zen3 cores, 4.75ghz, Renoir-like FCLK speeds, increased cache, and a respectable...

More Cezanne-H goodness with a more popular cpu. Intel launched TGL-H in "special edition" but it is just a 4 core cpu!

If you know the power consumption of the application (w) and the battery rating (w/h) you should be able to math it relatively close.

Cezanne H series desktops dominates as expected and Asus even managed to stuff it in a 13" ultrabook. TGL is expected to get an 8 core part to replace the 8 core CML-H eventually, but for now, AMD is dominates on all mobile form factors.
