Its been a very long time since AMD have anything even close to being competitive so I’m glad to see these chips coming out!  And they are doing it at a 95w TDP versus the 140w TDP that Intel is using.  Sounds like AMD could be on the path to high performance/low power consumption laptop cpu’s?  What I really like about these is a lower tdp creates less heat.  Less heat means a slower fan and less noise.

AMD is back in the performance game… finally.
