Lunar Lake seems simply better than Panther Lake U.
Similar CPU performance. Better GPU performance. Better battery life. And cheaper (so far).

it absolutely does not have "better gpu performance". that is a blatant lie.

It absolutely does. Only the X CPUs and the 338H from Panther lake have the strong iGPU (Arc B370/B390). All other Panther Lake chips, like the tested 325 or even an 356H, have weaker iGPU than Panther Lake. Fitting account name btw :)
Very happy I ordered a 32GB Lunar Lake T14 which are on sale rn.

You do not know what you are talking about. Panther Lake U has a small GPU. It isn't the B390/370 variants.
In the NBC review of these two laptops mentioned here you can see Lunar Lake beating it by ~40% in game benchmarks. At similar power... and the CPU performance is within a 3% and the battery life is a bit longer from a smaller battery.
Of course this review device will lose to the last gen model. You didn't select the low power panel. Instead you lose a lot of joules simply to the inferior screen. Period.
