Hey, gettin into that thread which, I like ! Thank you for those spec
My point of view is that AMD got thunderbolt 4 now. (laptop chips new ryzen 6000 line) so of course AM5 will have thunderbolt 4 (USB4.0 basicly). Those new laptop for resolve, the only real problem is that "memory GPU full" stuff. This is a pain in the ass, and BM Resolve Dev should do really a thing about it.
So if I've to go into a laptop, it would be Ryzen 9 6980x + Nvidia RTX 3080 16GB. unfortunatly Asus don't do such things with the ProArt lineup. But there is the beast (without USB4 sadly...) :
ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 (2022) ZEPHYRUS-DUO-GX650RX-032W and on the top of it, it has VESA1000 display. Price not announce today. But it would go 4000€ maybe 5000€. Ryzen 6000 is way less expensive than alderlake.
For PC : As AMD did ryzen 2000 to ryzen 5000 on AM4, I guess it's worth the wait today for AM5, to get 5 years less/more working and then ugrading just the proc again and not the whole computer.
For me, I got the TR 3070x wich in early 2020 was the best balanced chip for resolve. But I got an old Quadro M6000 24Gb, for 600€ because Nvidia 3090 is to damn expensive today. And I heard that ADM graphic is so bad with resolve... Would love to read more about it, on a trustfull website.
Basicly, I would not go with AlderLake, because too expensive for the product, and not gradable, which is normally what you're waiting for a PC.
For CG, I would go for 3090 minimum for 4K (using 13.4GB gRAM using Edit + Fusion + Color on my project) so even the 3080 12GB would give me that "GPU memory full". If improvement will be made on the RX6800XT firmware compatibility with resolve, that would be my go too for price/power and 16GB gRAM.
All new proc will get DDR5 & PCIe 5.0. But the speed improvement won't do a really big difference. Better going with cheaper RAM DDR4 today and get more expensive CG for resolve, in my experience.
Okay, there is my though end of January with all CES 2022 announcement !
