  • dont expect much from the machine performance wise given its specs (basically assume about ps5 performance)

    the vr headset though is actually the more interesting product when it comes to effort put into it.

    curious to see how much the snapdragon 8 gen 3 handles linux arm to x86 performance. ive seen the same chipset for android arm to x86 performance (see arm based chinese handhelds like Ayn Odin, using game native/game hub)

    pitching the headset as both a vr device and what is essentially a monitor/all in one is a choice.


  • vram in the context of an igpu like an apple chip or strix halo is the same thing as system ram. its shared memory

    its why strix halo and apple m4 chips are popular with users running local ai models, because those will cost you 2-4000$ for 128 gb ram, while the closest nvidia alternative is the RTX 6000 blackwell with 96gb vram costing 2-4x more.












  • hence why Mention the titles a bit sensationalist.

    its using a gpu company that rarely does it, for the first time in awhile in a very specific way, as that’s not the title of the thread that OP links.

    the idea of a laptop dgpu isnt new

    the idea of a removable laptop dgpu(mxm)

    the idea of a removable nvidia laptop dgpu isnt new(same as above, also asus rog flow attachable gpus)

    the idea of a slottable gpu isnt new (frameworks 7700s came before it)

    its the combination of the above which is pigeonholing the definition hard enough that it really doesnt have any real merit.
