Title: HP Pavilion 17z (A12-9720P, Radeon R7 M340) Laptop Review
Post by: Redaktion on July 14, 2017, 18:50:28
Super slow for super cheap. If first impressions are everything, then AMD is in a lot of trouble. Our latest Bristol Ridge notebook pairs a fairly respectable GPU with a CPU that is far below average for a very imbalanced system.

Did you try to undervolt the CPU ? With the old Excavator arch. it is fairly easy to modify power states. This could show the full potential of this machine, as the temp. thresholds seem to be set too conservative.
