    It isnt though. Check out the phawx on YouTube, he’s done extensive testing.

    The truth is you can underclock the 7840u but it still is less efficient at those lower wattages. I think if I remember the data right it crosses over around 12watt tdp to being as efficient then more powerful at higher clocks, but at 10w and lower the custom apu in the deck is king. The new apu for the oled deck is even more efficient at those levels too.

    The point I think they’re trying to make is right now nothing can beat the performance for the power at lower tdp right now, and so they want to wait for newer and better apus so they can maintain the size and battery life a best as possible, while keeping it relatively accessible cost wise.

    I own a win max 2 and I can tell you that as nice as that extra 10% performance is, I spent around $1200 and my SO spent $500ish on their deck. That’s why valve isn’t making a deck 2.0, to hit those higher performance benchmarks the cost raises exponentially, and it isn’t worth it right now for them.

    Dorfromantic: chill satistying game about building a landscape out of tiles, and matching biomes/rivers to get more points.

    Minecraft on peaceful: I like to do weird redstone projects in creative too.

    Titanfall 2/old school shooters: its weird but I blast music and play stuff that I can do mindlessly. And for me that’s deathmatch style shooters, where there’s no objective or anything, the respawn time is short, and you just run aroind blasting stuff.

    Open world games with time wasting sidequests: So most assassins creed games, corrupted zones/trials in HZD, wandering skyrim, etc.

    Edit: forgot, Mario Kart, its just fun and silly and I don’t mind just doing dumb shit and coming in last, so long as I hit koopa troopa with all the red shells because its dumb and I’m attacking him with his own brethren!
