AMD Unveils Radeon RX 6000M Mobile GPUs For New Breed of All-AMD Gaming Laptops (hothardware.com) 15
MojoKid writes: AMD just took the wraps off its new line of Radeon RX 6000M GPUs for gaming laptops. Combined with its Ryzen 5000 series processors, the company claims all-AMD powered "AMD Advantage" machines will deliver new levels of performance, visual fidelity and value for gamers. AMD unveiled three new mobile GPUs. Sitting at the top is the Radeon RX 6800M, featuring 40 compute units, 40 ray accelerators, a 2,300MHz game clock and 12GB of GDDR6 memory. According to AMD, its flagship Radeon RX 6800M mobile GPU can deliver 120 frames per second at 1440p with a blend of raytracing, compute, and traditional effects.
Next, the new Radeon RX 6700M sports 36 compute units, 36 ray accelerators, a 2,300MHz game clock and 10GB of GDDR6 memory. Finally, the Radeon RX 6600M comes armed with 28 compute units and 28 ray accelerators, a 2,177MHz game clock and 8GB of GDDR6 memory. HotHardware has a deep dive review of a new ASUS ROG Strix G15 gaming laptop with the Radeon RX 6800M on board, as well as an 8-core Ryzen 9 5900HX processor. In the benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6800M-equipped machine puts up numbers that rival GeForce RTX 3070 and 3080 laptop GPUs in traditional rasterized game engines, though it trails a bit in ray tracing enhanced gaming. You can expect this new breed of all-AMD laptops to arrive in market sometime later this month.

Nvidia drivers suck too.
The rapid development of video cards and their drivers, combined with the enormous number of games they get customised for makes this inevitable.
I generally assume anyone who says AMD $whatever sucks is firmly in the Nvidia camp.

There are also those weirdos who like Intel video hardware. They're just plain wrong.

Bullshit. AMD drivers, nowadays, are notably better than nVidia's offerings. It's not even close - i still get regular crashes with Geforce drivers. AMD's Adrenalin has been rock solid for me.
On top of that, good luck trying to get nVidia support for anything other than Windows. On Linux even the latest RX6xxx series work out of the box, with zero hassle.

What "problems" are you talking about? I have been AMD-only for quite some time now (Nvidia is simply lying too much about their products), and I seem to completely have missed out on the problems you claim exist.

I want a mini pc with one of these in. But... will it support ECC? And can I have at least 32GB of it?

For some reason when it comes to APUs (the ones with built in GPUs) only the Pro ones support ECC. The standard non-APU parts all support it and most desktop motherbaords do, even if officially it's not part of the spec.
Of course most laptops are APUs so it doesn't work.
I'm really hoping that AMD get it together for the next generation of mobile CPUs. USB 4 support (with Thunderbolt) and ECC support.

What about bitcoin mining? (Score:2)
That is the relevant question whether we gamers get our hands on these AMD goodies.

Only one GPU per CPU. That makes these irrelevant to miners.

You can't mine Bitcoin with a GPU, that requires an ASIC. As far as mining in general, due to laptops being limited when it comes to cooling, you generally don't want to lose a $2000+ laptop due to a GPU failure caused by running it at 99% all day, every day.

There was a surge in the value of Etherium, but it is now back to where it was pre-surge. The $2400/Etherium range is where it was before it went through the roof.
Keep in mind that if you look at $1500+ laptops, that's a fairly serious investment where you may only get 58MH/s at best. Will the machine die from using it for mining before you have generated that much worth of Etherium? With the increasing difficulty, that's a pretty big risk. At least a normal desktop video card will still hold some v
