Not that bad? Those are absolutely terrible.

4% is probably close to noise level, so essentially you are a couple of percentage points faster on multicore with TWICE the total power envelope. Think about that.

And almost 1/5th slower in single core.

Also, you went from "It will OBLITERATE M2" to moving the goal post "not that bad" pretty quickly. I love it.

True.

But still, pointless to me - I don't care about power efficiency, battery life or any synthetic benchmarks.

I have two concerns with a laptop:

1. Can it run the latest Visual Studio at blazing fast speed?

2. Can it run Dota 2 on Full HD @ >144 fps?

So far ... M2 doesn't fulfill fully neither point 1 nor point 2 :)
