AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS Torpedoes Intel's Core i9 Mobile Lineup, Fastest Mobile Processor
Reviews of AMD's flagship mobile processor, the Ryzen 9 4900HS went live today, and the verdict is clear. Intel has lost both performance and battery-efficiency leadership over its most lucrative computing segment: mobile client computing. In a Hardware Unboxed review comparing the 4900H to Intel's current Core i9 flagship, the i9-9880H, the AMD chip at its stock 45 W TDP beats the Intel one even with the Intel chip configured to 90 W cTDP.
The 4900HS posts 11.9% higher CineBench R20 score (both chips are 8-core/16-thread) when the Intel chip is bolstered with 90 W cTDP, and a whopping 33% faster when the i9-9980H is at its stock settings, and 54% faster when its capped at 35 W cTDP. It also ends up over 150% faster than AMD's last fastest mobile processor, the 12 nm "Picasso" based Ryzen 7 3750H. The story repeats with CineBench R15 (4900H being 34% faster than stock i9-9880H), 18% faster at Handbrake HEVC, 25% faster at Blender "Classroom," and 35% faster at 7-Zip benchmark. The AMD chip lags behind by 12% in the less-parallelized Photoshop. On creativity apps that do scale with cores, such as Premiere "Warp Stabilizer 4K," the 4900HS is 12.6% faster. Gaming performance remains an even split between the two chips. Find several more interesting test results and commentary in the Hardware Unboxed presentation here. Intel has already announced a response to the 4900HS in the form of the i9-10980HK.

but.. yeah... you probably pay a bit more with the best battery but it's nearly the same as a router.
Also: repeating summarized things as we're on a new page so people can read this hopefully..
It is zen2,
it has 8mb total L3 vs 32mb on desktop
no pci-e 4.0
it has no chipset, it is a SOC (ALL INCLUDED!!!!)
it is 35 W not 45W.
it is using turbo of 60 W~ before going to 35 W for steady state. (intel uses turbo like this too)

The right path is AMD Ryzen + AMD Radeon..Configuration 8 GB soldered + 16 GB on the slot, 24 GB - will it be single or dual channel because of the different capacities?
Does anyone sit around waiting to choose a CPU until 7-Zip performance benchmarks come out ? Why No Premier, PhotoShop, AutoCAD, office Suoites , gaming ? 3900x reportedly kicked 9900k to the cub and yet the 9900KF won in gaming, traded insignificant wins in Office apps, won in Photoshop and Premier and most important, won in our primary app AutoCAD. Now certainly if our big apps were the ones that the 3900X excelled in like brain simulation, 7-Zip, virtual machines and game develpment, rendering / animation.... the 3900X is the obvious
of course better choice ... but anyone who chooses a CPU on the bases of performance benchmarks in apps they don't use on a frequent basis isn't doing it right.

This time around they have the same amount of threads, and Intel can't use their hot running Mhz advantage because it's mobile. At 35 W, that is.
The GE65 and the Aero 15 are both >2.2 kg, the G14 is 1.6 kg.

14" is a good portable size. I've been waiting for more powerful, compact solutions, similar to the Razer Blade Stealth with a GTX 1650.
The panel in this is a 144 Hz IPS, albeit slower response time. May not be used for competition, but it's still manageable for on-the-road gaming.Looks like that Gigabyte Aero 15 is throttled badly. The GE65 does have good thermals (similar to the Acer Predator Helios 300 with the same specs) from what I've read about it.
