I wonder if there's a way for motherboard manufacturers to add an integrated GPU to the boards today. I think I remember seeing some nvidia chip on a really old motherboard once, but maybe that was before a lot of the PCIE stuff was moved directly into the CPU die?

Some Chinese frankenboards for Xeons have very crappy videocards onboard.

A lot of mainstream server boards have very crappy videocards onboard too; usually the IPMI chip has something with vga output (and network console).

This is as clickbait as it gets. AMD is doing extremely well, but you need more data than sales from one random retailer, to claim they’re leaving intel in the dust.

As of today there is literally no reason to get an Intel CPU from a performance or price perspective for both single core or multi core use cases. So the only sales Intel would get would be from brand recognition.

It's quite frustrating that this is becoming the norm, whether it be the 3XXX Nvidia cards, Playstation 5s, Ryzen CPUs, why is it that no hardware company can keep up with demand these days?

What ever happened to the laws of supply and demand? If the demand is high, and the supply is limited, they should be raising their prices. Stockx says an xbox series X is worth $750, a PS5 is worth $950, and a Ryzen 5900X worth $800. Why can't vendors just raise their prices, so I can buy from a retail outlet I trust, rather than a scalper.

For limited launches doing blind auctions would be really cool. You wouldn't have web pages melting down and requiring people to hammer f5, because you could run the auction for long enough that everyone can get their bid in. And at least theoretically scalpers should have much harder time making profit in a well-organized auction. And nobody can accuse vendor of price gouging in an auction because the price would be so purely market-driven.

I just got my T14s that I customized with 32GB, Ryzen 4750u (8c/16t), and the 400nit display (sadly lost the display lottery, but I didn't notice until I checked the part#). However, it took 60+ days to ship as I ordered it Sep 1st. I suppose the shortage of the Ryzen chips mean long delays for Lenovo laptops which are customized as opposed to the preconfigured variants. All of the preconfigured ones had the 250nit s…

I just received my similarly spec'd T14s AMD yesterday. I opted for the low power, high NIT screen as well. How do you check if you got a good screen?

I first checked which panels were the good ones here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-s-Panel-Lottery-continu..., which indicates Innolux is the panel to get. Then I went to https://support.lenovo.com/ie/en/partslookup and punched in my serial number, located near the bar code on the bottom of the laptop. From the "Parts" tab select the "Commodity Type" as "LCD PANELS" and you should see something like "FRUofAUO14.0FHDIPSAG" indicating I get the "AUO" manufactured LCD panel. If you are particular about getting the Innolux, you can use the substitutes button to figure out the lenovo replacement part number for the desired LCD Panel. For the Innolux on the T14s, it could be ordered here: https://lenovo.encompass.com/item/12401836/Lenovo/01YN156/, but it seems to be currently out of stock.

This is "no one drives in New York, there's too much traffic" levels of logic.

Not really. There is an infinite available of cars that may be driven into NY. There is only a finite number of CPUs available. I have money and want a CPU but cannot get one. I doubt there is anyone in NY who cannot find a car for sale.

I just checked a couple boutique builders and they’ve all got 5000 series Ryzens in stock.

Yes. I have the X13 which is quite similar to the T14s (just smaller) with the same processor/ram and I'm quite happy. Best keyboard I've had on a laptop. Does suspend to ram/suspend to disk/hibernate work you for you though? Using Manjaro on 5.9 kernel and X, and most things work out of the box well enough for my purposes except for suspend/hibernate and I can't find any info online for how to fix it completely. Add…

Totally agree about the keyboard and processor/ram. Originally thought about getting the X13, but I recall the screens options weren't that good, and I prefer the larger size and bigger battery anyways.

As for Linux, I fully intended to dual boot Arch and Windows. Due to circumstance, I am stuck with a tiny 128GB NVMe and so I am using the default Windows for now. I've been watching this playlist of a user installing Arch on their T14s to help prep me on some of the quirks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihFPynCqfzc&list=PLiKgVPlhUN.... I hope that helps answer some of your questions.

My biggest gripe with amd is that I need to think about gfx card when buying one. I’d love to have a simple vega 8 in all of their cpus.

I don't get why AMD refused to sell the Ryzen 4000 APUs directly. They would make a great CPU for some small builds that aren't going to game...

I built two systems recently with the 4650G that I imported via Aliexpress. I paid a little more than MSRP and shipping was slow and nerve racking, but the sysrems work nicely, and no GPU made it fit in a smaller ITX case (heatsink selection is tricky though)

What sales, they hardly had any stock available. I've been trying since the release to get my hands on a Ryzen 5900x and they're sold out everywhere. I'm trying to get on a waiting list for it now, fingers crossed that they can deliver before the new year.

> What sales, they hardly had any stock available. Out of curiosity, are you trying to buy a chip , or a system ? If the latter, is it possible that it's a problem with PC makers not assembling enough AMD systems, rather than AMD not making enough chips? I'm asking because for a long time Intel would have deals where they'd give PC manufacturers a hefty discount if AMD were less than 10% of their sales; such that the…

Not the person you replied to but: I’ve been trying to get the same one. No chance. Luckily the shop I ordered from has a queue system so I don’t have to hunt. Just today I got an email that their supplier is delayed the next shipment and they have no idea when anything is going to arrive

Then please share them. The small shops in Canada are reserving these chips for system builds, not as separate items. All the online options are only taking orders for future stock. If I want one of these before february I've been told to order from the US, with the associated costs/risks.

how big is your monitor? to me, 4K is noticeably better than 1440p on a 27" monitor, especially for rendering text. 1440p is certainly acceptable at that size, but my guess is it would look quite bad on anything >30".

I have a 24" monitor. Could be that people just have larger monitors than me. I always get the impression that people are just coding off their laptops all the time. 4k on a laptop seems like overkill.

1080p is fine for a 24" display imo, though I'd want 1440p for a 25". the current trend in laptop displays is baffling to me too. why anyone would sacrifice hours of battery life to have a 4K panel on something like an xps 13 is beyond me.
