also whether or not all the power on that chip is able to be used or if its just going to thermal throttle at 50% load
Comment on New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2

The relevant metric is how much faster it is at the same power draw. The Z1 Extreme/7840U/8840U are faster compared to the Deck’s APU, but at equal power limits there isn’t too much in it.

Yeah, the Z1 chips mostly out perform the deck by throwing more power at the chip, which isn’t great for a handheld with limited battery capacity.
