Tech Showdown: RX 6800 XT Dominates, RDNA 2 Fine on Linux!

Linux activity like RX 6800 XT is Faster Than RX 7800 XT and RDNA 2 Improves with Age Like Vintage Wine

Among the most remarkable motherboards now available comprises the Amd RX 7800 XT. In Microsoft Windows, for now, this GPU provides a modest gain in performance over the Geforce RX 6800 XT. They are now provided with proof, according of Phoronix, showing that the Radeon RX 6800 XT plays far better in Windows 1080p (1920 x 1080) gaming than the Radeon RX 7800 XT achieves at the same resolution.

Those Amd RX 6800 XT was the clear leader above all of the additional video cards manufactured by AMD, Nvidia, which and Intel. The graphics card performance of the previous-generation Geforce RX 6800 XT was as much as 12 percent better than that of the current-generation Geforce RX 7800 XT. The performance of the older model was approximately comparable to that of the Radeon RX 6800.

In justification of RDNA 2, the Geforce RX 6000 series have existed on the marketplace for an extended period now, whose implies they operate on motorists that have been took to a greater extent than that of the Radeon RX 7000 series, which doesn’t seem more than twelve months old yet.

If you compare the two graphics cards based on their basic specs, you’ll see that the Radeon RX 7800 XT has 12 less compute units than its predecessor, the Radeon RX 6800 XT. On paper, the former exhibits around eighty percent more FP32 performance than the later does. The increased clock rates of the Radeon RX 7800 XT aren’t sufficient to make up for the lack of performance in other areas.

Because of the RDNA 3 design, AMD is able to double-pump the compute units, which, in theory, delivers twice the performance. This is made possible by the fact that the RDNA 3 architecture. The workload, and more significantly, the driver, is the most critical factor in determining the final outcome since it instructs the graphics card when it is possible to carry out such an operation.

During this time, the Radeon graphics cards were at the top of the Linux gaming rankings. They were followed by Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 30 series (Ampere), while Intel’s Arc Alchemist was in the last position. The GeForce RTX 3080 was the strongest performance from Nvidia, but it was still outperformed by the Radeon RX 6700 XT. It is interesting to note that the performance difference between the Arc A580 and the Arc A750 was just 8%. In the meanwhile, the performance of the Arc A770 was shown to be 13% superior than that of the Arc A580.

Workstation workloads were another area in which AMD’s RDNA 2-powered graphics cards thrived, demonstrating that the company’s superiority was not limited to the gaming industry. In SPECViewPerf 2020 3.0, the Radeon RX 6800 XT showed between 14% and 87% greater OpenGL performance than the Radeon RX 7800 XT. This was determined by comparing the two GPUs. The Radeon RX 7800 XT was eventually victorious in the ParaView 5.10.1 benchmark, achieving 5% higher performance than the Radeon RX 6800 XT.

In the Linux environment, RDNA 3 hasn’t lived up to its promise, and it’s unclear whether or not performance will improve with updated drivers. While we wait for RDNA 3 to reach its full potential, gaming on Linux is handled quite well by RDNA 2, in the interim. If you’re a Linux gamer who plays at 1080p, there isn’t much of a reason to upgrade to RDNA 3 right now. Perhaps price will be more reasonable by the time RDNA 3 reaches its maximum potential, but for the time being, there isn’t much of a reason to upgrade.

A snip, a splice : Power of rDNA Technology

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the blueprint of life, holds the secrets to the intricate workings of every living organism. But what if we could manipulate this blueprint, adding, removing, or tweaking its code? This revolutionary concept forms the core of recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology, a powerful tool that has transformed biology and medicine.

The story starts in the early 1970s with two brilliant scientists; Stanley Cohen at Stanford University and Herbert Boyer at the University of California, San Francisco. Cohen, a microbiologist, had been studying plasmids – small circular DNA molecules found in bacteria. Boyer, a biochemist, was an expert on restriction enzymes – molecular scissors that could cut DNA at specific sequences. Their collaboration proved groundbreaking. They envisioned combining these tools to create the first ever recombinant DNA molecule. Cohen provided the plasmids, which would act as vectors to carry foreign DNA into host cells. Boyer, on the other hand, used restriction enzymes to cut both the plasmid and the desired foreign DNA, allowing them to be pieced together. Through meticulous experimentation, they successfully created the first recombinant DNA molecule, forever altering the course of biology.

Cohen and Boyer's work wouldn't have been possible without the earlier discoveries of restriction enzymes. These "molecular scissors" were independently identified by three separate research groups in the 1960s. Werner Arber in Switzerland, along with Hamilton Smith and Daniel Nathans in the US, unraveled the role of restriction enzymes in bacterial defense mechanisms. These enzymes helped bacteria defend against invading viruses by cutting up their foreign DNA. Recognizing the potential of these "genetic scalpels," the groundwork was laid for their application in rDNA technology.

Here's a simplified breakdown of the rDNA process:

Isolation of DNA: The journey starts with isolating DNA from a donor organism.

Cleavage with Restriction Enzymes: Specific enzymes cut the DNA at defined sequences.

Selection of Vector: A carrier molecule (often a plasmid) is chosen to transport the recombinant DNA.

Ligation: The DNA fragments and vector are stitched together using DNA ligase, an enzyme.

Transformation: The recombinant DNA enters a host cell (usually bacteria or yeast).

Selection and Expression: The transformed cells are selected, and the gene of interest is expressed, leading to the desired protein production.

Since its inception, rDNA technology has played a pivotal role in several groundbreaking advancements. Let's take a whirlwind tour through some of the most significant moments in R-DNA history:

1978: Birth of Insulin on the Factory Floor: Scientists achieved a feat of genetic engineering by using R-DNA to produce human insulin in bacteria. This marked a turning point for diabetics, offering a readily available and more consistent source of this life-saving hormone.

1980s: Gene Wars and the Rise of GMOs: The 1980s saw the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Plants were engineered with genes for insect resistance or herbicide tolerance, sparking debates about the safety and ethics of this technology. R-DNA research continues to be at the forefront of discussions regarding genetically modified foods.

1990s: The Human Genome Project Sets Sail: This ambitious international project aimed to sequence the entire human genome. R-DNA techniques played a crucial role in deciphering the 3 billion letters of our genetic code, opening doors for personalized medicine and a deeper understanding of human health and disease.

2000s: Gene Therapy Takes Center Stage: The first successful gene therapy trials for inherited diseases like severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) took place. R-DNA technology offered a glimmer of hope for treating genetic disorders by introducing healthy genes to replace defective ones.

2010s and Beyond: CRISPR Takes Over: The emergence of CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene editing tool based on R-DNA principles, has ushered in a new era of genetic manipulation. With unprecedented precision, scientists can now edit genes in various organisms, holding immense potential for gene therapy, crop improvement, and even the eradication of diseases.

But with great power comes great responsibility, and R-DNA raises a host of ethical concerns.Tinkering with the building blocks of life carries the risk of unintended consequences. Engineered genes could escape and disrupt ecosystems, or modified organisms could have unforeseen health effects. The ability to edit human genes opens the door to designer babies, raising questions about social equity and the potential misuse of the technology for eugenics.

Who Controls the Tools? Access to R-DNA technology could be restricted to wealthy nations or corporations, exacerbating existing inequalities. Biosecurity is also a concern, as the technology could be misused for bioterrorism. Creating entirely new organisms forces us to confront what it means to be "natural." Should we modify plants and animals for human benefit, or preserve their original forms? R-DNA technology is a powerful tool, and we must have open discussions about its ethical implications. Scientists, policymakers, and the public all need to be involved in shaping the future of this technology. As we move forward, open dialogue and collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and the public are crucial to ensure the safe and ethical application of this powerful technology.

The journey of rDNA technology is a testament to human ingenuity and its potential to reshape our world. From decoding the secrets of life to creating solutions for healthcare, agriculture, and beyond, rDNA technology continues to evolve, promising a future filled with exciting possibilities.

The Order of Bradán Feasa (OBF)

Unit One of an RDNA Druid training program is finally in its first draft! I started writing this in 2020, and wrote a majority of it (114 pages) that year because I wanted to have created something before the feared perception of probably contracting Covid and dying therefrom. Then once I was vaccinated, I got complacent and set the draft aside, coming back to it perhaps once a month, re-reading and revising, not really adding any new content.

In an attempt to push forward with my list of proposed topics, I started to realize I was not qualified to create content for many of them, and that I needed to do a lot more reading and learning for my own sake before continuing. Thus 2021, 2022, and much of 2023 were dedicated to reading my stack of purchased but unread books, annotating, highlighting, and cross-referencing for veracity.

I still have a lot of reading and learning ahead of me, but much of that will align with Unit Three, which hasn't been started yet. Unit Two has actually been in a draft form since 2017, and there will be an exam to go with it. This will probably be the first modern Druid training program with an exam, and it will require a 90% score or higher to pass.

What is the OBF?

The Order of Bradán Feasa is a non-clerical side order made for the Reformed Druids of North America. The name means the "Salmon of Knowledge" in Irish Gaelic, and is a reference to the myth of Finn McCool gaining all the world's knowledge when he burns himself while cooking the salmon. Any person who completes Units One and Two will be inducted to OBF and given a digital certificate indicating completion of said training program. Units One and Two would be considered sufficient training for in-person candidates to be invited to Second Order initiation in the RDNA. The optional Unit Three is the RDNA Clergy Prep Course and Grove Governance Guide (GGG), and would be considered prerequisite to ordination to the Third Order: the RDNA priesthood, in addition to existing customary requirements such as the supervised All-Night Vigil.

Completing the First Draft

While some people write novels during November for N.A.N.O.M.I.R.O. or whatever, I was suddenly inspired to get Unit One done. Over the month of November I wrote 55 new pages and revised existing content again. No, that's no novel, but writing something of (hopefully) academic quality with APA citations is a bit more meticulous, especially with this being my first "college level" type of project in about 16 years.

Members of Oakdale Grove are in the process of reviewing and annotating the first draft already. I find it easier to spot needed revisions or typos when something is in print, plus I love writing directly on drafts with an ink pen because I'm an older millennial (roars in dinosaur, lol). And I get to review and mark it up for editing with a bit of a Dark Academia aesthetic. I'm a bit shocked that Unit 1 is 169 pages, and likely to grow. We've already identified some sections that don't exist yet that need to be here. Unit 2 is much smaller. I expect Unit 3 to be smaller, as well.

The goal is for Unit 1 to go live before Beltane 2024, for Unit 2 to go live by the Autumnal Equinox of 2024, and for Unit 3 to go live by the end of 2024. That last one has the greatest uncertainty though, because I still have two important books to read, and possibly more that I haven't found yet.

GPU Industry Rant

I'm angry, angry about graphics cards.

Why?

Because what used to be a fun exercise in trying to find the best value or trying to find a good deal at a shoestring budget has turned into "how long do I need to wait to find something that isn't awful value".

It used to be that you could get a reasonably decent new gaming GPU for about $100-$150 and every new generation there'd be new cards in that price range that were a decent bit better. You used to be able to get a genuinely good gaming GPU at $150-250 with significant improvements every generation.

What used to be

It has soon been 4 years since the release of the GTX 1650, and about 3.5 years since the 1660 Super and 1650 Super. These three cards represent the last time there was a step forward at these two price points.

In 2016 we had the GTX 1050ti at $150, the RX 470 at $180 and the RX 480 at $200 ($250 for the 8GB model). The 1050ti was pretty awful value compared to the 25% faster RX 470, but it still beat previous generation $200 cards by a few percent. The GTX 1650 then at $150 just about matched the RX 470 in 2019, still not a great value improvement, especially since AMD released the slightly faster RX 570 at $170 in 2017, but at least you paid slightly less for about a match in performance. The GTX 1650 Super half a year later was about similar, matching or slightly beating the RX 580 (which in turn was a bit faster than the 480 and slightly cheaper) at $160, making for a small step up in performance compared to the RX 570. The 1660 Super at around the same time set you back $230 while providing about 25% more performance than a 1650 Super or RX 580, making it on par with 2016′s $450 GTX 1070, quite an improvement in value.

As for cards below $150, we've had nothing since the GT 1030 ($70 2017), RX 550 ($80 2017) RX 560 ($100 2017) and GTX 1050 ($110 2016).

Since then we've had

the GTX 1630, a card that costs $150 while performing somewhere between a 1050 and 1050ti, making it uncompetitive against the bad value 1050ti from 2016. The only way to make the 1630 look good is if you compared it to the 950 from 2015. The RX 6400, $160 for a card that gets beaten by the 1650 by a slight margin while also having issues in older PCs due to limited x4 PCI-E bandwidth. The RX 6500XT a $200 card that gets handily beaten by the 1650 Super with the same PCI-E issue as the 6400. The RTX 3050 a $250 (in theory at least) card that very slightly beats the 1660 Super. You're pretty much paying at least $20 more for unusable raytracing and the privilege of being able to use DLSS.

Cope

Some youtubers a while back went on about how "the age of the APU" is coming or something like that. Arguing that anything up to about $150 will be made obsolete by integrated graphics. They were technically correct, but only if you compare the latest and greatest iGPU in laptop CPUs, the Radeon 680M to the GTX 1630, which as I mentioned earlier is worse than a 1050ti, a $150 GPU that's coming up on its 7th birthday in a few months. Presumably the same 680M and possibly a 12CU RDNA 3 GPU will make it into some Ryzen 7000G APUs later this year, but even then I think top iGPU (which will be included in a CPU that'll be more expensive that it would've been to buy a cheap CPU + GPU combo back in the day) only might match RX 6400 performance or maybe 1650 performance, certainly not 1650 Super performance and absolutely not what ought to have been $150 performance this generation (which is to say something closer to the RTX 3050).

Hope

At least the used market is back to relatively normal, so if you want RX 6500XT performance but don't feel like paying $200 for it you can just buy a used RX 580 for like $90 or if you want better you can go for a 1660 Super for about $130 (both "buy it now" prices on ebay). The prices of these used cards are scaled quite appropriately from what new card pricing for the same performance levels ought to be.

The downside of buying older cards is that they don't always age that well. The GTX 9 and 10-series have aged like fine milk in the latest games (which is to say that relative performance to the 20 and 16-series is down by a lot) and AMD dropped support for their 2012-2015 lineup in 2021.

Additional notes

It is worth mentioning that the RX 6600 is currently available at $250 in the US when on a small discount and provides a good 25% performance uplift compared to the RTX 3050/GTX 1660 Super, however this pricing is not universal, the same card on German amazon is €280 or $300, on canadian amazon the best I found was 270 USD. Here in Sweden some part of increased prices is definitely due to inflation, 1660 Supers used to be around 2700 SEK, now an RX 6600 is at best 3200 SEK which is a pretty big change, sure it currently translates to just below $250 before our 25% sales tax, but that doesn't make it feel any better.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A screen capture of the Wikipedia article about Marine Fungi reads as follows:

Many species of marine fungi are known only from spores and it is likely a large number of species have yet to be discovered.[3] In fact, it is thought that less than 1% of all marine fungal species have been described, due to difficulty in targeting marine fungal DNA and difficulties that arise in attempting to grow cultures of marine fungi.[4] It is impracticable to culture many of these fungi, but their nature can be investigated by examining seawater samples and undertaking rDNA analysis of the fungal material found.[3]

think about this now.

Valve의 새로운 하드웨어 루머: 'Fremont' 콘솔과 Steam Deck eGPU 가능성 탐구

들어가며

최근 게이밍 세계에서 하나의 무서운 소문이 돌고 있습니다. 바로 Valve가 새로운 하드웨어를 준비 중이라는 것입니다. Steam Deck으로 이미 혁신적인 휴대용 게이밍 장치를 선보인 Valve가, 이번에는 AMD Radeon RX 9070 드라이버와 맞물려 있다는 얘기가 설왕설래하고 있습니다. 이번 블로그에서는 Valve가 내놓을 가능성이 있는 콘솔과 Steam Deck eGPU의 루머에 대해 살펴보도록 하겠습니다.

Valve의 새로운 시도: 'Fremont' 콘솔?

먼저 들려오는 소식은 Valve가 AMD의 최신 기술과 함께 'Fremont'라 불리는 새 콘솔을 개발 중이라는 것입니다. RDNA 4 인프라를 기반으로 한 AMD Radeon RX 9070 그래픽 카드와의 드라이버 테스트 소식은 게이머들의 기대를 높입니다. 스페인어 휴대용 기기 전문 블로그 'HandleDeck'의 블로거인 Rafa가 최초로 이 소식을 전했습니다. 그의 주장을 따르면, 현재 Valve는 OEM 제조사를 위한 SteamOS의 확장을 돕고자 드라이버 테스트를 진행 중이라는군요.

SteamOS의 확장

Valve의 스팀 운영체제(SteamOS)는 그 자체로 강력한 게임 플랫폼으로 자리 잡고 있습니다. 최근 CES에서 Valve는 Lenovo와의 협업을 통해 SteamOS를 Lenovo Legion Go S에 탑재했습니다. 이 기기에는 AMD APU인 Zen 3 기반의 Ryzen Z2 Go가 포함되어 있어 기존 Windows 기반 시스템보다 더 유연한 PC 환경을 제공합니다. Valve는 다른 플랫폼에도 SteamOS를 확장함으로써 Windows의 대안으로 자리잡기 위한 여러 테스트를 진행 중인 것으로 보입니다.

실현 가능한 희망사항?

현재 Steam Deck에서는 Thunderbolt USB-C 포트가 없�� eGPU의 데이터를 전송하는 데 한계가 있습니다. 만약 Valve가 전문화된 eGPU 도크를 고려 중이라면, 이는 게이머들에게 쉽게 플러그 앤 플레이 할 수 있는 환경을 제공하는 획기적인 변화가 될 가능성이 큽니다. 실제로 많은 게이머들이 Steam Library의 용이한 접근을 원하고 있고, 이는 시장에서 큰 욕구를 나타내고 있습니다.

마무리

지금까지 살펴본 모든 소식은 사실 루머일 가능성이 큽니다. 하지만 Valve가 지속적으로 기존 제약을 넘어서고자 하는 노력을 볼 ���, 이들의 도전적인 움직임은 게이밍 업계에 큰 파급효과를 불러일으킬 수 있습니다. 스팀 콘솔 혹은 eGPU가 현실화되는 날이 올지, 아닐지 아직은 알 수 없으나, 이들이 머지않아 확실한 모습을 드러낸다면 참으로 흥미진진한 새로운 장이 열릴 것입니다. 이 모든 과정에서 Valve의 행보가 주목할 만한 이유가 될 것입니다.

Valve의 결정들이 미칠 영향과 그 뒷 이야기에 많은 관심을 기울여 봅시다!

AMD RDNA 3 vs. Intel Arc iGPUs : Gaming supremacy

When compared to AMD RDNA 3, Intel Arc iGPUs on Meteor Lake CPUs

Since AMD began providing its APUs with powerful integrated graphics, Intel’s advantage in the iGPU market has steadily decreased. AMD’s hold on the market was solidified at the time by the Vega iGPU family, but with RDNA, the red team opened up a whole new range of products that offered small PCs and handhelds with top-notch graphics performance. As for Intel’s Iris Xe solutions, its graphics performance was lacking and will now be greatly improved with the release of the Intel Arc iGPUs in the Core Ultra line. To provide competitive gaming performance.

Under the code name “Xe-LPG,” three different Arc Alchemist iGPU configurations are installed in Intel Core Ultra “Meteor Lake” CPUs.

There are three different configurations available: eight, seven, and four cores. When utilizing faster memory, like LPDDR5X, the GPUs can overclock to 2350 MHz (Core Ultra 9 185H) and provide a significant boost in performance. Along with other things, these GPUs support AV1, XeSS (DP4a), and DX12 Ultimate.

All things considered, these Intel Arc iGPUs are a crucial part of Chipzilla’s most recent CPUs. Since They have already seen synthetic benchmarks for the Intel Arc iGPU, today’s news focuses exclusively on gaming benchmarks. Golden Pig Upgrade (Bilibili) carried out the tests, which comprised testing a variety of games at both high and low settings and 1080p resolution.

The highest configurations of the AMD RDNA 3 and Intel Arc iGPUs seem to be quite competitive with each other, winning an identical amount of games at low 1080p resolution.

The Arc iGPU of the Core Ultra 7 155H outperforms in 7 out of 8 games evaluated in the 1080p High testing. Even yet, the RDNA 3 graphics solution trails behind the Core Ultra 5 125H. Additionally, the analysis demonstrates that the Meteor Lake CPUs are now nearly as fast as the discrete GTX 1650 Max-Q GPUs and far quicker than NVIDIA’s MX solutions.

Because of the 100 MHz clock speed differential, the Core Ultra 9 185H’s iGP clearly performs better than the Core Ultra 7 155H. The LPDDR5X-7467 memory is used in the results, which explains why the RDNA 3 GPUs do not scale as well as the faster Meteor Lake Arc iGPUs.

Although having quicker RAM is usually desired, it should be remembered that these computers are always more expensive. The Meteor Lake laptops are priced in a very expensive sector based on their prior prices. Consequently, it is important to recognize that AMD has a price edge with its Ryzen 7040/8040 range of laptops. The power efficiency performance data is the last one. It demonstrates that while AMD is superior at lower TDPs below 25W, Core Ultra 100H CPUs outperform AMD Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” CPUs in the graphics domain at 28W TDPs.

With TDP ratings of 9–15W, Intel also offers the more power-efficient Core Ultra 100U processors, which would be a better option for entry-level and mobile gadgets that are anticipated to enter the market in the upcoming months.

The Intel Core Ultra Arc iGPU outperforms AMD’s RDNA 3 iGPUs in gaming, according to tests published by a number of tech sites. Tests conducted by Dave2D, HardwareCanucks, and Jarrod’s Tech all demonstrate competitive placement versus AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs and considerable performance increases over prior generation Iris/UHD GPU systems. These figures also provide insight into AMD’s possible decision to maintain the same specifications and clock rates in its RDNA 3 GPUs for the Ryzen 8040 “Hawk Point” update.

AMD can likely provide a performance bump in places where they are not as strong as they could be, or when the Intel Arc iGPUs is only marginally faster, via driver upgrades. Although Intel has also issued a new driver, should anticipate more advancements on the driver front from both sides as competition in the Intel Arc iGPUs market is expected to resume.

This will be particularly important for the next generation of gaming handhelds that utilize these Intel Arc iGPUs solutions, which are built on the AMD RDNA 3 and Intel Arc architectures. When tiny PCs are released, it will be fascinating to observe the full potential of Intel Arc iGPUs, as these chips can scale up to 115W (Core Ultra 9 185H) and have unlimited access to greater power, which can result in notable performance boosts and excellent overclocking capabilities. The Core Ultra iGPU department has more enhancements in store as additional devices and solutions become available, so these performance figures are only a taste of what’s to come.

PlayStation 5 vs PC Gaming: Mana yang Lebih Worth It di 2025?"

Memasuki tahun 2025, pertarungan antara PlayStation 5 dan PC gaming masih menjadi perdebatan panas di kalangan gamer. Keduanya memiliki keunggulan dan kekurangan masing-masing, sehingga pilihan terbaik tergantung pada kebutuhan dan preferensi pengguna. Berikut adalah perbandingan antara PS5 dan PC gaming berdasarkan beberapa aspek utama.

1. Performa dan Grafis

PS5 hadir dengan hardware yang sudah dioptimalkan, termasuk SSD super cepat dan GPU RDNA 2 dari AMD yang mendukung ray tracing. Sementara itu, PC gaming menawarkan fleksibilitas dalam pemilihan hardware, yang berarti gamer bisa mendapatkan performa lebih tinggi dengan GPU terbaru seperti RTX 5000 series atau Radeon RX 8000 series di tahun 2025. Jika menginginkan grafis terbaik dengan frame rate tinggi, PC gaming masih menjadi pilihan utama.

2. Harga dan Value for Money

PlayStation 5 menawarkan performa gaming kelas atas dengan harga yang lebih terjangkau dibandingkan PC dengan spesifikasi setara. Sementara itu, membangun PC gaming yang bisa menandingi PS5 bisa memakan biaya lebih besar, terutama untuk kartu grafis dan prosesor terbaru. Namun, PC juga memiliki keunggulan dalam fleksibilitas harga, di mana pengguna bisa memilih spesifikasi sesuai anggaran.

3. Eksklusivitas Game

Sony dikenal dengan jajaran game eksklusif berkualitas tinggi, seperti God of War, The Last of Us, dan Spider-Man 2. Sementara itu, PC gaming menawarkan lebih banyak pilihan game, termasuk akses ke game eksklusif dari Xbox dan berbagai judul indie yang tidak tersedia di konsol. Dengan semakin banyaknya game eksklusif PlayStation yang akhirnya dirilis di PC, keunggulan ini mulai sedikit berkurang.

4. Kemudahan Penggunaan

PS5 adalah solusi plug-and-play, di mana pemain hanya perlu menyalakan konsol dan langsung bermain tanpa perlu memikirkan kompatibilitas atau pengaturan sistem. Sebaliknya, PC gaming membutuhkan lebih banyak pengaturan, mulai dari driver, pengoptimalan, hingga potensi troubleshooting jika ada masalah dengan hardware atau software.

5. Dukungan Jangka Panjang dan Upgrade

PC gaming memiliki keunggulan dalam hal upgrade. Jika hardware mulai ketinggalan zaman, pengguna cukup mengganti komponen tertentu tanpa harus membeli sistem baru. Sebaliknya, PS5 memiliki siklus hidup yang lebih panjang tanpa perlu upgrade, tetapi pengguna harus menunggu generasi konsol berikutnya untuk peningkatan performa yang signifikan.

6. Fitur Tambahan dan Ekosistem

PS5 menawarkan fitur eksklusif seperti haptic feedback pada DualSense dan integrasi dengan layanan PlayStation Plus. Di sisi lain, PC gaming lebih unggul dalam hal fungsionalitas, seperti akses ke berbagai platform digital (Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Game Pass), kemampuan modding, serta kompatibilitas dengan berbagai perangkat gaming seperti keyboard dan mouse high-end.

Kesimpulan

Jika menginginkan kemudahan, harga lebih terjangkau, dan game eksklusif PlayStation, maka PS5 adalah pilihan yang tepat. Namun, jika mencari fleksibilitas, performa terbaik, dan dukungan jangka panjang dengan kemampuan upgrade, PC gaming tetap unggul. Pada akhirnya, keputusan terbaik bergantung pada prioritas dan gaya bermain masing-masing gamer.

Lenovo Legion Go 2 é oficial e usa AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme

Por Vinicius Torres Oliveira

A Lenovo revelou o PC gamer portátil Legion Go 2, revelando que ele usará a mais recente CPU gamer da AMD para superar significativamente o Steam Deck.

O Lenovo Legion Go 2 chegou. Bem, quase. A Lenovo revelou vários detalhes do novo portátil, incluindo que ele usará a mais recente CPU móvel de ponta da AMD. Seu design ainda é rotulado como um protótipo, no entanto, e ainda não sabemos seu preço ou data de lançamento, além de chegar em algum momento de 2025.

O Lenovo Legion Go de primeira geração é um dos melhores PCs portáteis para jogos que o dinheiro pode comprar, em grande parte devido à sua enorme tela de 8,8 polegadas e 1600p, mas também aos seus controles removíveis imitando o Nintendo Switch. Agora, a Lenovo finalmente voltou com uma continuação e parece um upgrade extremamente tentador.

Especificações do Lenovo Legion Go 2

As especificações do Lenovo Legion Go 2 incluem que ele será alimentado pela nova CPU móvel AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme e usará uma nova tela OLED de 8,8 polegadas e 144 Hz com suporte a VRR e brilho máximo de 500 nits . Ele também manterá seu recurso de controle destacável, mas com um design físico totalmente novo e mais arredondado.Lenovo Legion Go 2

APU/CPU AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme Total de núcleos de CPU 8 Núcleos Zen 5 3 Núcleos Zen 5c 5 Cache L3 16MB Arquitetura GPU AMD RDNA 3.5 Processadores de fluxo de GPU 1.024 Unidades de computação GPU 16

A Lenovo revelou esses detalhes como parte de sua revelação de hardware para jogos na CES 2025. A empresa postou em seu site detalhes de três novos PCs portáteis para jogos, incluindo o Lenovo Legion Go 2. Os outros dois dispositivos são novos modelos de nível inferior chamados Legion Go S, e eles compartilham o mesmo design físico, mas um roda Windows, assim como o maior Legion Go 2, enquanto o outro roda Steam OS, para uma experiência de jogo semelhante ao Steam Deck.

A Lenovo descreve algumas das vantagens do Legion Go S Steam OS como sendo "salvamentos em nuvem que significam uma transição perfeita entre jogos de PC e portáteis, Remote Play que transmite jogos para o dispositivo a partir de um PC, acesso total à Steam Store e à Steam Library".

Voltando ao Legion Go 2, a Lenovo também revelou que ele será lançado com 32 GB de RAM LPDDR5X de 7500 MHz, o dobro da quantidade da versão original. Um par de portas USB Tipo C também foram confirmadas, então você poderá conectar o dispositivo para carregar e também conectar periféricos. Se ele vai lidar bem com a nova GPU externa RTX 5090 da Asus, no entanto, teremos que esperar para ver.

Embora oficialmente ainda seja um protótipo, a Lenovo descreve o design claramente mais arredondado e de aparência mais confortável do Legion Go 2 como incluindo também "controladores Lenovo Legion TrueStrike arredondados com um D-pad circular para entradas mais rápidas e precisas".

O dispositivo também vem com até 2 TB de armazenamento SSD e uma bateria de 74 Wh, embora a Lenovo ainda não tenha feito nenhuma afirmação sobre a duração da bateria do dispositivo.

Fundamentalmente, o chip AMD Z2 Extreme no coração do dispositivo deve trazer um aumento no desempenho dos jogos, graças à sua GPU de 16 unidades de computação, em comparação com a GPU de 12 CU de seu antecessor, além de a AMD ter feito afirmações ousadas sobre a eficiência energética aprimorada de seu novo chip sofisticado.

Data de lançamento do Lenovo Legion Go 2

A data de lançamento do Lenovo Legion Go 2 é em algum momento de 2025 , mas a Lenovo não revelou um prazo mais preciso do que este. A empresa diz que os jogadores devem "ficar atentos enquanto a Lenovo se prepara para dar vida a esta inovação emocionante para jogadores do mundo todo em 2025".

Especulação de preço do Lenovo Legion Go 2

O preço do Lenovo Legion Go 2 ainda não foi revelado , mas especulamos que será pelo menos o mesmo preço do Legion Go original quando o dispositivo foi lançado, que era US$ 699,99.
