Running a 32 bit os might net you better idle. I run 32 bit debian on an ancient laptop and my idle is a bit lower, 300-400 mb. I'm also using openbox.

Literally only CUDA. Rocm mostly works.

Had. I believe there is some HIP support but it's limited to rDNA cards.

What about the monolithic socs? Idle power on my 5825u is better than my i5-1135g7. My i7-8550u is in between.

They can't even do that anymore. sgx had a bunch of vulnerabilities and as a result, that service has been disabled.

I also have a gpu in it (ATI mobility Radeon 9700) so there is that. Web browsing was slow but not impossible. I did use discord with my old pentium M machine. (only web bc 32 bit). YouTube did work but not well. I was using smplayer for YouTube. Also this was before everything went to av1 encoding and I haven't tried it since.

I think it should be okay. I have a pentium M machine that did alright with web browsing on Bunsenlabs. Had 2 gb of ram. I used an original eeepc and an MSI u230 wind with the same cpu. The atom and pentium M are about the same

I wonder if the amd models from framework perform as well as other oems in terms of battery life. The other guy in the thread said that his 2 Intel laptops perform worse due flawed firmware.

Ooof. Only time I had that issue was when I used a 35 watt laptop adapter with my old HP laptop. It wanted a 65 or 90 watt adapter.

Since the cooling system is self contained in the module, you shouldn't have that issue.

Industry first Nvidia card with this setup? Like it's a bit thin but that's the closest I can get to "erm actually"

 

I have a pretty old laptop with an AMD dGPU and I am trying to do OpenCL compute on it to make sure that device switching is handled correctly in some stuff I am testing. All the instructions I see to install amdgpu drivers is to have --no-dkms as an install flag. Doing amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl --no-dkms --opencl=legacy results in ERROR: using '--no-dkms' with '--opencl=legacy' is not supported

Specs:

HP Pavilion 15-br158cl

CPU: i7-8550u (HD 620 iGPU and this has working compute)

GPU: Radeon 530 2 GB DDR3

RAM: 24 GB

OS: PopOS 22.04 6.12.10-76061203-generic

Clinfo -l output

Platform #0: Intel(R) OpenCL HD Graphics
 -- Device #0: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 [0x5917]
Platform #1: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing

As you can see, only the platform, not a second device. Is there anything that I am missing?

I did post this on reddit in the PopOS subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1kvza44/is_there_a_way_to_use_amdgpudkms_without_bricking/
