Introduction to GPD Win Max 2 and Methodology
- 📊 The reviewer compares the GPD Win Max 2 with AMD's 8840U to the 7840U, focusing on performance and power consumption.
- 📝 The methodology involves running tests at different TDP settings, using the same settings for both chips, and comparing the results.
- 📊 The reviewer uses Heaven for synthetic benchmarks and various games for real-world testing.
Synthetic Benchmarks
- 📈 The 8840U performs better than the 7840U, especially at higher TDP settings, due to its ability to handle 7500 MT RAM more effectively.
- 📊 The benchmarks show that the 8840U has a cleaner line of performance increase as TDP rises, indicating better RAM handling.
Game Benchmarks
- 🎮 The reviewer tests the GPD Win Max 2 with AMD's 8840U and 7840U using games like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Returnal.
- 📊 The results show that the 8840U performs better than the 7840U, but the difference is more significant at lower TDP settings.
