On a related note, TIL AMD has an evolving competitor to Apple Silicon, except they named it “Ryzen AI” so everyone could ignore it. They apparently announced a couple new chips this week, and if it weren’t for a cgchannel article mentioning it in connection with Blender, video editing, etc., it never would’ve registered in my brain that the SoCs have GPU cores as well and might be useful for something. Still RDNA 3.x, so meh, but I’m looking forward a future SoC with RDNA 5 that supposedly has drastically improved RTX cores on par with Nvidia to use in a render farm at some point. They’re definitely not going to beat Nvidia if they keep using stupid names for their chips, though. NPU cores are useful for some things, but a SoC with the full gamut is the way to go.
Those apus are top tier in the mini pc world, but cost a pretty penny for sure.
