Anandtech: The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Review: Unleashing Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 Into Notebooks

During the opening keynote delivered by AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su at Computex 2024, AMD finally lifted the lid on their highly-anticipated Zen 5 microarchitecture. The backbone for the next couple of years of everything CPU at AMD, the company unveiled their plans to bring Zen 5 in the consumer market, announcing both their next-generation mobile and desktop products at the same time. With a tight schedule that will see both platforms launch within weeks of each other, today AMD is taking their first step with the launch of the Ryzen AI 300 series – codenamed Strix Point – their new Zen 5-powered mobile SoC.

APH Networks: 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30 Review 

Has hype ever impressed you more than the actual product itself? There is a horror-thriller movie released recently called Longlegs that had a string of marketing before its release. While many movies these days suffer from revealing too many key plot points in the trailer, these teasers did exactly what a teaser should do, which is to tease the movie. In fact, it did even less than that. As I went into the movie, I had little to no knowledge of the plot and what direction the story was going to lead. The distributor, Neon, had released many teasers on their YouTube channel, and all of them were very short and creepy, setting up a great atmosphere of what to expect from the tone of the film without giving any key plot points away. They also created a custom website for the movie to emulate events that had occurred in the movie, and even set up a phone number for people to call and listen to a creepy voice on the end -- which I did not try, haha. Neon pushed forward with this for most of 2024 to generate hype, and as a result, many people were excited for this movie and ended up watching it, making Longlegs plenty of box office money. In a similar way, 1MORE continues to push forward with their open design earbuds with the 1MORE Fit SE Open Earbuds S30, which we will be looking at today. I recently reviewed their Fit Open Earbuds S50, so it will be interesting to see how their S30 earbuds compare. Will 1MORE be able to keep up the momentum with their open design earbuds? Let us read on to find out!
