I bet there are, but I have no links at hand. Michael Larabel of Phoronix.com tested against ARM and an Intel i7 crunched a ton of ARM cores to nothing, but this has been some years already. Granted, my impression is from what I read and also the utter and complete lack of any good quality business related laptops with AMD processors. Recent laptops from ThinkPad and other vendors have a greatly improved battery life and there are mobile versions of Intel CPU/GPU combos with 15 Watt Thermal Design Power (TDP). We use Intel NUCs for certain tasks meanwhile and they come daringly close to the performance of fully blown 19 inch servers. All TDPs I read about AMD Ryzen CPUs have been way higher… *except* some of their new Ryzen mobile CPUs. I know its just TDP… but if either AMD or ARM would offer any CPU that could compete on speed/energy ratio, I´d bet at least some manufacturers would be using it, but other than gaming laptops I have seen nothing with AMD technology so far. Which is a pity, cause I like to buy something from them as I am not happy with the Intel monopoly. So I ask you: Are you aware of any other than Intel laptop with a good speed/ energy ratio? One that is actually a laptop and not a power hungry portable workstation? Regarding PowerPC based laptops there is an initiviate of Power 2 People.org Thanks, -- Martin _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
