I can't believe Skyrim AE can run at locked60fps with ultra settings on my low end laptop, Linux and Wine/Proton is awesome (lemmy.ca)

Not sure which one that is, but the first and second gen Ryzen APUs were fire. They were massively under appreciated at the time.

Mine is a 3500U, which is pretty great for what I paid for it.

Yeah, it's still good! I have a 4800HS myself that's aging well too.

Ryzen really shook things up when it came out. They were running on par, or nearly on par, with Intel's current offering for like 2/3 the price.

The laptop APUs were better than Intel, with lower power, and far better graphics!

It got even more dramatic in the 4000 series. Renior is one of the best chips AMD ever made.

TBH the press just had a hard time comprehending it back then, and it was lest dramatic on desktop (or tanky desktop-sized laptops with dGPUs) because Intel's chips could clock higher for single-threaded workloads (at the expense of mad power usage).
