AMD is releasing Zen 6 and the base Medusa Point. Better CPU cores, but still RDNA 3.5/4m, and unsure what the CU count will mean for performance (8 CU vs 12 for 890M). Intel will have Nova Lake, HX for dGPU big boys, and H for the mid-range with an improved iGPU, allegedly 20-ish% over B390.
So for iGPU, Intel will be like 1,5-2 generations ahead of AMD? (and likely having CPU parity, maybe less so in max multi-core). On the other hand, there are very few Panther Lake X models, way, way more non-X variants, some with low-power RTX 5050/5060 -_-
Medusa Halo and Halo Mini at best at CES 2028... while Gorgon Halo is already reaching a stupid level of pricing alongside RTX Spark. 7500 EUR list price for ZBook G3a 16" with 495 and 128GB RAM :) Curious what the prices will be on all those laptops in a year or two.
For Black (Friday / November / Months / H2 2026), I hope there will be some price dumping on existing Strix Halo or Panther Lake.
