Bummer…now it’s giving me 2nd thoughts as to whether I should keep or skip my CUS1 order. I’m hoping reviewers will be able to get their hands on the new units (and post performance reviews) in time before delivery.
I do hope for a fast system…if Framework can at least tell us the TDP, then we could at least guesstimate.
I can’t find any info on an Acer Swift Go “13” (Phoronix test laptop)…though I see there’s an Acer Swift Go “14”. With the 14 inch, Notebookcheck did a power limit comparison:
I would be happy if the 165H can perform at the same efficiency level as the 7840U at 28 and 35 watts. (So that I don’t need to deal with video playback [high] power consumption in linux with AMD)
…but that might be overly optimistic if the following is still true in Q3 2024 (article was written back in Q4 2023):
It’s such a strange year to be picking up a new consumer laptop. Never seen such a strong competition in the consumer processor space. (AMD, Intel, Qualcomm and Apple…architecture aside). Consumers are more tech savvy / educated than before, the focus / awareness on performance per watt is such a strong decision factor these days.
LTT’s video (while the focus is on the Snapdragon X Elite, it does also show 155H compare to the 7840U):
155H is looking rather underwhelming there.
