fwiw, I have an i9 9880H in a NUC and it throttles constantly, it performs about on par with an 8th gen i5, no one is writing about that though!
worst purchase I've ever made
Quote from: Caslos on August 29, 2020, 01:22:33I have read the entire article, including the part you cite. The problem is that he is drawing conclusions about the processor from a single unit. And you can't fix that with a short comment towards the end. It's like saying at the end of an article that we can ignore all that we just read as it's a pile of nonsense. Why write nonsense in the first place? It's well known that chassis has big impact. And he doesn't present any evidence that it's processor's fault (like excessive power draw). He should have been talking about the laptop, not the processor. At best, this is an opinion piece. But it's not presented that way.
Amazing how many people here complaining about the comparison who obviously never bothered to read the entire article. Reading comprehension FTW!
Here's the end of the article for you -
"Since the Ryzen 7 4800U is so new, we'll have to wait and see what other OEMs can do with the processor outside of Lenovo. Its configurable TDP should allow for a wide range of compatible chassis designs and thus a wide range of performance differences between models."
