The performance metrics presented by AMD during the official launch appeared a bit cryptic, but Linus and twitter user Lock Gamer extrapolated the AMD estimates with actual RTX 4090 results and it looks like the RX 7900 XTX is only 10% slower than Nvidia's top dog. Not too shabby when we also factor in the 60% lower prices for the AMD card.

According to Q3 2022 financial figures released by AMD, the company’s Data Center, Gaming, and Embedded Systems segments performed well. But the Client segment which includes consumer CPUs like the Ryzen 6000 series took a significant hit due to a weak PC market. Furthermore, the company is also expecting a less-than-ideal Q4 2022, possibly due to bad Zen 4 sales.

LG Ultra PC 16 (2022) AMD review: This is not a gram.

84% LG Ultra PC 16 (2022) AMD review: This is not a gram.

More stamina than the gram. It is called an Ultra PC and is cheaper than a gram. This 16-inch laptop has a longer battery life than the already long-lasting Intel-based LG gram. What's more, the device only needs a 72 Wh battery (rather than 80 Wh) to achieve this level of battery life. At 400 g heavier, the Ultra PC is admittedly not quite a "gram", but it is still a respectable piece of hardware no less.
