alt Hacker NewsAmazing thing is this is a laptop-grade chip. Think AMD should make a full-on desktop-grade chip and possibly have two of them on one board.
That’d really drive compute.

Sadly not. It appears to be too high wattage for laptops, almost no availability there.
The full on high power one is the MI300A which is indeed superb.

A desktop-grade chip would nerf the APU and memory bandwidth, and would need a discrete GPU for comparable compute, which is a completely different class of machine. (One which would be, IMO, much less interesting.)

That would involve NUMA, and your memory bandwidth for cross-chip compute would probably suck. Would that even beat a simple cluster in performance?
