I did a Passmark compare against their Intel offering - the i7-1360P (offered at the same price), and the difference is incredible - 24% better performance overall, at only a 1% higher TDP (and only a 0.5% lower single thread).
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5322vs5198/AMD-Ryzen-7-7840U-vs-Intel-i7-1360P
Both mainboards are in stock and being sold for $699.
1% higher rated TDP, but real world power consumption is a much different world.
What are your PL1 and PL2s set to? My 11th Gen. i9 has a “TDP” of 45 watts, but really it’s 109. Same for any modern CPU from Intel. Intels website says base power is 28 watts, but “maximum turbo power” is 64.
AMDs website says the 7840 has an AMD Configurable TDP of 35-54W, and they’re kinda falling down the same trap that Intel pioneered. But their power consumption in all loads but balls out is still typically much better, and IMO that’s much more important in a laptop than balls out performance.
