[Redaktion]

With the ZenBook 14, Asus aims to appeal to customers who are looking for a particularly light and slim laptop that also offers long battery life. Despite the compact case dimensions, the built-in Ryzen CPU provides a surprising amount of power.

What happened to the AMD 6000 U series CPUs? Where are they?

[weeee]

It needs an extra USB A port and a combi stereo jack. I know that laptop companies want to go thinner (at the expense of thermal performance), but just having those 2 ports make a really big difference. If you look under the cover, there is plenty of space for them. LAN port would be great too instead of needing a USB-C adapter.

RAM tunning is fully shame. Only 36Gb/s?! WTF...

What happened to the AMD 6000 U series CPUs? Where are they?

I have already written many times that AMD is lying from year to year and cannot provide shipping  for 8-9 months, or even for the year of the series announced earlier. AMD learned to masterfully release "paper" (virtual) series, instead of real ones. It's fabless company... Well, from 2022 Intel did the same deal with some Alder Lake series...virtual world of CPU...

Moreover, people are not at all fools and understand that marketer fools of them trying to prolong the obsolete series at an inadequate price.

According to the latest report on Taiwan and China, huge remnants of laptops on the old hardware accumulated (only Quanta Inc have in warehouses hardware for $8 billions!) - which there is no one to sell at the prices that they want but do not suit to buyers. Apparently all this will be put under the bulldozer, although on stores have deficit for many IT (and not only in IT) positions on all countries...

Well, approximately like the 30s of the last century in great depression, when hunger reigned in the United States, and farmers drained milk tanks in the ditch, because they were not satisfied with the price. Either you, or they. Simple choice...this is capitalism
фnd natural competition for survival in every sense. The ruthless, merciless and completely spitting on the ecology of the planet - after all, everything that under the bulldozer required production with monstrous influence on the planet environment. But does this soar those who should get a given level of profit to buy another yacht?

What is Win32 overhead for memory copying operations? What is real-time memory protection overhead? What is Translation Lookaside Buffer?

Ah. A R*ssian. Initiating destruction in 3, 2... Wait!

The ruthless, merciless and completely spitting on the ecology of the planet - after all, everything that under the bulldozer required production with monstrous influence on the planet environment.

You're alright, kid. Maybe go easy on "memory tuning" posts? In 5 years time you won't even remember you were embarrassing yourself with that. But the Internet will.

Do not burst from your significance, empty talker. =)

I can see that the hot air blows onto the screen, can this cause any long-term issues?
