Yes, it’s Bibi again that comes out of the fog! ‍️

So the loulous, are we still undecided? Do we want options not yet found? Let’s see what we can offer you today! (party)
History to see your money fly away!

Already, all recent processor Ryzen 7:255 a.m.. So new (well, this is the case of other less recent CPUs …) that Amd has not created the product sheet. Nor of the 255. While the 260 sheet exists as well as the 250 sheet. We will see in the future when AMD deigns to signal. Impossible in the state to specify the TDP, which must be somewhere between the two (cf. the said sheets).

While the 255 appears well tested on cpubenchmark.netbut only with 18 samples! Suffice to say, the specialized press I imagine, which may take the lead on AMD to make us discover it better. We can nevertheless, failing the TDP, note the L1 covers of 512 KB, L2 of 8.0 MB and L3 of 16MB. Be as much as the 8745HS. In addition, and based on the 250, it should have a basic clock frequency (therefore on all the cores) of at least 3.8 GHz and 5.1 GHz in boost at best (what the 260).

It is he who gives his name to the product, since AMD seems to want to try to catch up on Nvidia with a chip side integration, but also tools and bookstores via Ryzen Ai Software*. But it has been running for that long before that, since in December 2023 We already talked about Hawk Point architectural processors (that of this processor, see the sheets of 250 and 260), for a first breakthrough on the AI.

* That said, to see if he reserves it to the fleas stipulated on his sheet, or if those with AMD Ryzen AI, as is the case of the Ryzen 7 250 and 260 (and therefore in Fortioti du 255), will have it. This should logically to be the case, since, let’s put, the 8,845hs is itself in Hawk Point architecture and in the list of CPU supporting Ryzen Ai Software, and not Krackan Point as Ryzen ai of name. Like that Ryzen ai 5 350.

So, of course. The 8845HS has NPU (Neuronal processing unit). Either.
And the 7640HS which is also in the list? None.

:/ But why does he make a pendulum could tell yourself? Simple, AI has an impact in content creation, the game, the application … I leave you, beyond Ryzen Ai Software, also discover here. And the 7640HS is still there! With its 10 performance tops announced. While the Ryzen 7 250 and 260 present, well, them, an NPU! There is therefore no technical reason, and even less marketing, that they do not take care of all this. Certainly their neural calculation power is lower than CPU AI, and it is all logical (38 in overall tops against 66 for AI 7 350 for example, and 50 on its only NPU, while those of 250 and 260 made 16 tops), but since less powerful processors, not even having NPU, are supported, no doubt that the 250 and 260 allow it.

I think it is only marketing, to push on the one hand to the Ryzen AI, and on the other, to save the processors already on the market (since 2023 or even more), especially in the world of laptop.

Sorry. I get started.

As you can see, it is a serious competitor at 8745HS. Which could be all the more so if its TDP is of the order of 250, which has a nominal TDP of 28W and a CTDP (controllable) between 15 and 30W. Control that can appreciate those concerned with the energy bill. ⚡

He brings the integrated graphic circuit with him Raft 780m.
25.7% more efficient than the 760m
51.5% more than the 680m
112% more than the 660m
And we forget the Vega, which are, it is the case to say it completely offside.

We are clearly at the top of the basket on this plan, and there is little better, at least on AMD, except The 880m which outlets the 780m of10.3%. It’s little. Yes, we stay on a mini PC type Nuc, let’s not forget! Besides…

So, of course, it is “only” only in 1080p (in 1920×1080 I imagine), and in a commercial way, certainly not tests carried out in ultra settings. But that presages good nevertheless.

The circuit also supports the VRR (variable refreshment), the adaptive-sync (synchronous refreshment history to avoid tearing), HDR metadata, and UHBR10, with this time an outing allowing to take advantage of it!

❓L’UHBR

It is a standard of data transmission flow for DisplayPort technology from 2.0 and 2.1. Which means nothing less than Utra High Bit Rate. It is therefore, you will understand, linked to the flow that the connection can withstand. 10 Gb/s per line in the case of UHBR10 therefore, or 40 GB/s gross in total (before correction of errors and protocols)

This allows you to transmit very high resolution videos (like 4K at 240 Hz, or 8K to 60 Hz), with high color and HDR depth, without compression (even if, fortunately, the DSC is there for that).

A 4K 144 Hz screen, with DisplayPort 2.0 may require UHBR10 or more to operate without compression.

❓L’HDR METADATA

As the name suggests, for anyone who has made video, photo or computer graphics, these are additional data integrated into the HDR signal, allowing to have more details on the way in which the flow must be displayed.
There are two types:

  • HDR static (eg HDR10): Metadata are fixed for the whole video.
  • Dynamic HDR (eg HDR10+, Dolby Vision): metadata can change scene by scene or image by image, offering a better visual rendering.

These metadata indicate the maximum brightness of the scene (or of the whole video so static), the range of colors used, contrasts, details on shadows and brightness, etc. ️

16 GB of DDR5. We will push 32 GB preferably, with the Patriotor Crucialreliable, and recognized marks rather than unknown memory from China. Knowing that you can go up to 64 GB.

SSD NVME EN PCIE 4.0 of 1 to. And a 2nd free location. But with 1 TB, you should be happy with the storage space already, and at worst, it can go up to 8 to total (2 SSD of 4 TBs).

On the front:

  • Two USB3.2 Gen2 (10 Gb/s) type ports
  • A USB4 (40 GB/S) which supports data transmission, audio-video, and the POWERDELIVERY up to 15W at output
  • And the 3.5mm jack combo sheet, as well as a tip cmos (story to do it inadvertently … (horror))

So think of a yy cleaner if you want to connect speakers and sometimes use a jack helmet. And to a Splitter to benefit at the same time from its exit and its entry, in the event that Bous plugs a microphone.

At the back, we find:

  • The 19V DC connector to feed the beast, except that you do it by …
  • USB4, supporting just as on the facade, but a PD entry of 100W in addition ⚡
  • A 2.5 GB Ethernet interface
  • A DisplayPort in 2.0 which supports 4K to 90 Hz without compression. With, we could have 16K at 60 Hz, 2x 8k at 120 Hz (same problem) or even 3x 10k at 60 Hz … if the IPG supported it! XD
  • A HDMI in 2.1, yes gentlemen, ladies. It will interest some!
  • A USB 2.0 for what needs a little bunch: typically a printer type device (if your is not in wifi), a webcam, a micro USB … Well, this dependent on flows, because among these we can have some that ask. And then I don’t advise you to put a hub on it. Since a priori you would like it to have the minimum 3.2 support.
  • And finally, the star of this deal in his connection … The Oculink! 8)
    That many have looked for recently, I have good memory and I thought of them.
    This is what, if you wish, allow yourself to make this mini PC a monster! Rock ‘N’ Roll Baby!

And internally:

  • Two slots of memories of up to 64 GB
  • Two slots m.2 for nvme en pcie 4.0
  • A chip managing WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4
  • Two 2x2W internal speakers
  • Integrated microphone
  • The same concept of stored dual cooling system, one of which is “to change the phase” as on theUM760. With the second fan being on the bottom, to suck fresh air. Simple, effective. : {

I hope you like it as much as it caught my eye. He really has a lot to please. All recent standards, well thought out frills, and that on the base of a solid configuration.

It was the Informati-singe! Kisses! ‍↕️
