Because it's true. But what's also true is that if you unplug an 8060s laptop and attempt to game, your 1% lows will be even worse than on the arc b390.

So the arc b390 is the best we have for now. Yes, it isn't strong enough, wish it was a bit stronger but it is what it is.

Maybe fine wine driver updates can improve things with Microsoft's DirectX update that deliveries 90% performance boost on arc battlemage using SER can help.

I hope JJ tests more games on battery and not just Forza.

Here is another video with bad 1% FPS lows of Panther Lake's Arc B390: youtu.be/A_jHa0d1aFA?t=319 (YT/Just Josh: "Intel's New Integrated GPU vs 10 Popular Games (Shockingly Playable)")

Quote from: youtu.be/A_jHa0d1aFA?t=319..we wouldn't recommend it. The 1% lows and .1% lows are just too rough.

YouTube/Just Josh measured bad 1% FPS lows of all Arc B390 laptops (youtu.be/jduWl1J_4lQ?t=630). This is disappointing and I hope it can be fixed.

QuotePWM flickering

I wonder if the 120 Hz (same as display' 120 Hz refresh rate), 14%, PWM amplitude is going to be an eye-strain issue.

This SOC is a winner. Incredible levels of CPU efficiency and iGPU performance. Real-world gaming being basically equal to B390 is a pleasant surprise too.
