AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS Cezanne Review: Ryzen 5000 Mobile Tested

I think some of the exaggeration has come from people who only use Apple products basically seeing what the cutting edge actually is, e.g. We've historically been the same performance or worse, now our tribe is the fastest - spurred on by much faster benchmarks.

Anyway I look forward to websites slowing down as M1 becomes more popular amongst Devs who shouldn't need anything that fast in the first place (ideally)

Yup. The "new" Reddit redesign is totally unusable on all my computers except the M1 Air. Not looking forward to more web developers getting their hands on these things.

Reddit seem to be run by a Manchurian candidate of sorts - half the time on mobile I'm genuinely thinking to myself "Do you want the traffic or not?"

They really want you to use the App so they can foist more ads upon you.

I am more than happy to read ads if the app wasn't so awful.

If HN was to (say) show me ads for various programming-y things I wouldn't be all that bothered as long as the core UX wasn't ruined.

Reddit's tech feels like a Jockey who's lost control of his horse

That’s why I use Apollo for Reddit browsing on iOS. It’s all native, as fast as you’d expect, and follows all of Apple’s UX conventions.

The redesign has absolutely no resource management. They don't load and unload media when its no longer in the viewport either from scrolling or opening a thread, and the redesign infinitely scrolls.

Plus thread view is a modal over the feed unless you navigate directly to its URL, so often times you'll have media loading and running in the thread view while other media may still be playing back in the feed.

I don't think that's the only source of the insane memory leak in Safari in particular (you will get into the GBs if you leave a media-heavy feed open past 10 minutes or so), but its gotta be a big contributor.

That doesn't sound so good, but I can do one better. The 4 FP EUs/core on the M1 (x64 has 2) that likely lead to this result might also lead other languages to use more floats and doubles.

I thought M1s SIMD throughput was lower?

It is, but the Firestorm cores can do 2x more scalar FP executions per clock than Zen 3. Still, for a full browser benchmark like Speedometer 2, I would've liked to see better results from 5800H/U given their large cache bumps from last gen.
