"more efficient than A 4070" just doesn't do the baiting of clicks that "more efficient than THE 4070" does...

A TDP gimped 4070 is NOT representative of the vast majority of 4070s that are >=100W

With this kind of misleading garbage AMD really is becoming the new Intel

In performance? Sure. But I think people will be pleasantly surprised when it comes to efficiency and battery life. When you do things all on one chip on package and don't need to communicate to external chips through longer distances coupled with GDDR memory there is often huge energy savings cost. (Which benefit heat/thermals and noise of device)

I think for people in the US, you're better off getting a last year G14. As there are deals that can be had for $1000 there, so paying this much doesn't make much sense. Can buy a cheap tablet if really need stylus support. But for people in the Europe, where most RTX 4070 devices are over 2000 anyway, this doesn't seem like a bad deal, anymore.

I don't think of this as a barely improved 2023 rog flow z13 but more of a bigger ROG Ally with 3 times the performance, more memory and storage.

The only worry I've is warranty. I don't really trust Asus enough when it comes to theirs or their reliability. Hope this device is sold at retail stores with good after sale policies. (E.g. Costco)

I wasn't trying to discredit them of any progress made in efficiency.
I was merely stating that it's rather deceptive to portray it as a victory over 4070 mobile, because a 4070 mobile in a legion 5 pro would perform much better.
So rather than saying that amd's chip comes on top, it's more correct to say that Asus has improved what it offers with the z13 by a lot.

When amd claims superiority over 4070, it'd just invite ridicule just like what we see in the comment section. 😂

For those of us that have memories of the last weeks/months/years might recall the fairly recent similar sounding claim that: "the PS5-PRO can outperform a 4070"

I think we all know how that turned out. :)

Granted, AMD has made GREAT strides in their APU's and I can dream of a day where I can get a 12-14" AMD powered laptop for < $1000 and play AAA games on it @1080P without needing a dGPU.

IMHO: out of AMD, Apple, Intel, Qualcomm & Nvidia (if they ever enter the APU laptop market) I'm betting on AMD to deliver APU's gamers can play games on.
