3-pound Lunarlake vs Arrowlake Laptops

<< < (4/4)

Ok, so,

Somewhat of a "gud" reason for getting a 2880/4K screen for a 14" laptop.

If you try to watch 4K/8K material on Youtube.  Because youtube uses whatever the GPU scaler is, it's usually something low power use, bilnear, or nearest,

What ends up happening is, sharp contrast lines like skyscraper windows/ silhouettes will look very aliased downsampled to 1080p using the cheap power budget scalers.

For movies, you can use the best ssim,  but for youtube, there are no settings.

IDK how important youtube quality is for most people, but  I guess this does represent a niche where you can justify 2880/4K for such a small screen.


With better scalers, it makes 0 difference at 2 feet. The caveat is, most thin/light won't be able to support ssim at 4K. This is only recently that Most igpus got enough juice to do it.  Then there's tonemapping, no igpu will be able to tonemap 4K and ssim downsample at the same time to a 2880x1800. 

igpus in the 5000-7000 passmark range will only do a 1920x800 box tonemapped.
igpus in the 7000-10000 will do a 4K box.

This is the barrier, RDNA5 might finally breach.

Now that  AMD's RDNA 5 mobile has been confirmed.

Hrrrm.. Lunarlake is dangerous to hold on to, because if they're deprecating Arc-gpu team, who knows what's going to happen down the line.
