According to Notebookcheck[1], if you put a power limit on the 7940HS, it will achieve 15625 points on Cinebench multicore with an average of 66 watts. This puts it above the M2 Max in efficiency and right behind the M2 Pro. Far ahead of any Intel chip.

If you don't want to mess with software power limiting, you'll have to wait for benchmarks of the 7840U.

Hmm, that's really interesting. I guess I'd need to software limit, but still, that should mean I can get good performance and low battery usage, plus low fan usage.

I might have to upgrade, the Intel processor I have right now is very annoying.

What's the difference between the HS and the U? I'm not good at specs :/
