    Latest gen 8 ryzen 7 16gb equalivelant is $1347, and ryzen 5 16gb is $1306 direct from lenovo with 3y onsite warranty included by the looks. May be cashback also.

    Is there any reason to go the Intel version other than saving a few bucks?

    • sureyoucan on 22/07/2023 - 18:39

      Seems like CPU speeds are better with the Intel while amd is better in graphics.

      The Intel one has Evo branding which gives some hope that battery life is half decent.

    • shellshocked on 22/07/2023 - 19:21

      Unfortunately 1340p have a max TDP of 64w and pretty much hit this figure doing anything. In a smaller chassis such as a 14" the cooling won't be able to keep up and it will throttle. Battery life and performance will also be effected due to the high TDP.

      https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/232126/…

      1340p only has 4p cores and only if the application is aware of the E cores will they be utilised. Otherwise there will be a performance deficit vs a CPU with more performance cores.

        AMD CPUs are miles ahead of Intel for laptops atm.

        • incipient on 23/07/2023 - 01:05

          That's because Intel is still stuck on its bloody ancient 10nm process. 10nm++++ LP EVO MK2 whatever, but it's still the same base from years ago.

        • RedHab on 23/07/2023 - 09:37

          It's also that Intel's big.little ARM architecture copy with P and E cores hasn't got all the glitches worked out yet.

          There are still big latency issues on Windows at least which can make your computer "feel" slower.

        only if the application is aware of the E cores will they be utilised

        What? That's not how E-cores are scheduled at all. Any application that runs more than 4 threads will use the E-cores, and any application that isn't explicitly aware of the difference will just see them as additional cores the same as any other. The scheduling is handled by the OS, most applications don't choose which cores to run on.

        I'd also love to see a source for "max TDP of 64w and pretty much hit this figure doing anything", if it's sustaining max turbo while idle there's something terribly wrong.

        Hell it comes with a 65W power supply, if it were sustaining that much power usage it would never charge.

        • elusive on 23/07/2023 - 10:02

          Some numbers for power consumption with the same CPU here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-Book3-Pro-360-1…

          7.7W idle avg / 15W idle max

          52W load avg / 63W load max

          These numbers are a bit high (11% on the load avg) vs a HP Envy with a Ryzen 5825U (but max is the same). The review notes the high resolution OLED display on the tested Samsung laptop is probably responsible for the high idle consumption. Unfortunately there aren't any detailed reviews of the Lenovo ones yet.

          Note that load avg is while running a 3DMark06 benchmark, which is probably a fair ways above typical laptop usage. They had less power consumption running Witcher 3.

          Still, that's enough info that I'm gonna call bullshit on the claim that this'll hit the turbo TDP constantly. If there's sources indicating otherwise, please provide them.

          All that said, the review does also say the 1340P is largely equivalent to the 1240P, no real generational change here. Doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, but it does mean it's probably in the same boat as the Zen3+ rebadges (and probably beaten by Zen4).

        • shellshocked on 23/07/2023 - 19:52

          As you have quoted:

          "All that said, the review does also say the 1340P is largely equivalent to the 1240P, no real generational change here."

          Refer to the Notebookcheck review regarding Intel P series TDP limitations at 64w.

          https://www.notebookcheck.net/Core-i5-beats-Core-i7-Alder-La…

          Regarding E cores, the fact is that they offer about 19% worse performance than the P core and lack hyperthreading. Unfortunately with the OS scheduling E and P cores, thereare still plenty of bugs out there where the application is not utilising the cores correctly.

          Intel literally said these E cores are throughput density optimized for MT scaling, while P core is optimized for max ST perf and low latency. There is this false perception that E cores are meant to be energy efficient.

          • elusive on 23/07/2023 - 23:11

            @shellshocked:

            Refer to the Notebookcheck review regarding Intel P series TDP limitations at 64w.

            Fair, that one does claim that you reach "high temperatures during everyday tasks", and does go into some depth over the efficiency issues.

            FWIW I still don't think it should be sustaining max turbo TDP outside of scenarios like running full Cinebench (though compression/decompression is a common one many people do frequently). Going to one of the specific reviews bears this out, in the load avg tests it's again showing 49W, and again lower in their Witcher 3 workload (though that could've just been more GPU-limited, so using less power). Idle is again under 10W, and that's where it should be sitting most of the time for typical usage.

            Unfortunately, unless I'm missing something, they don't seem to have done performance-normalised tests to make it easier to compare two laptops accomplishing a fixed task.

            So bottom line seems to be, if you're going to be running it at full load then performance and battery life will definitely suffer, as you say. I still doubt that's a frequent occurrence with typical laptop tasks, but I have no further evidence at the moment.

    Some time ago i was told that Ryzen laptops are thicker, heavier and no touchscreen due to the technology is as mature as intel. I wonder if this is still the case. Please enlighten me.

    • p1 ama on 23/07/2023 - 11:44

      Thickness, weight and touchscreen have nothing to do with what CPU is in the computer. Look at the specs for the machines you're interested in and make the decision for yourself.

      All laptops will list their dimensions, weight and whether they have a touchscreen or not.

    I saw this comment off a JB Hi-fi reviews page. Not exactly the same model but concerning all the same .. "This laptop was highly recommended to us by JB HiFi staff as a school laptop for years 10 to 12. It seems it is not suitable because just out of warranty the one hinges seized and broke the screen. Now we know that this is a common problem that Lenovo is well aware of due to class action taken against Lenovo. The laptop seemed great but the hinge design flaw and subsequent screen breakage makes this a bad product and not worth buying if you are after something that will last more than 12 months."

    Is anyone aware of this class action? Legit concern?
