  • you also have to keep in mind, the client that purchases cutting edge nodes first is apple. AMD only currently uses it for Zen 5c, and Qualcomm uses it for snapdragon elite/8 gen 4. mobile usally always gets them for efficiency reasons(and better yields due to smaller dies). other markets have historically been a node behind already (e.g despite the 9800x3d being new, its only a N4 die with a N6 io die)


  • early zen werent performant in lower core count loads, but were extremely competitive in multi core workloads, especially when performamce per dollar was added into the equation. even if one revisits heavy multi core workload benchmarks, they faired fairly well in it. its just at a consumer level, they werent up to snuff yet because in gaming, they were still stuck with developers optimizing for an 8 thread console, and for laptops amds presence was near non existant.







  • model y is an EV suv.

    the problem basically is that the people driving model 3.the 3 itself is also fairly heavy, but the assumption that if they were going to drive a model 3, the majority would switch back to a lighter sedan when in reality, they bought the model 3 because it was one of the cheaper EV options, and had it not been a cheap EV option, they would have driven a larger hatchback or SUV regardless.

    for example I had a coworker who recently got a tesla. what he was driving beforehand was a V70 Volvo hatchback before he sold it to fund the model 3. the hatchback is only a few hundred pounds lighter than the model 3, which effectively isnt a significant amount of weight, given an addition one, or two lighter people would already make up the weight difference alone.
