I'm sure it benchmarks well, but does it actually have good battery life?

Even aside from battery life, high TDP means thermal throttling under sustained load. Which most of these benchmarks don't really test, or if they did, the ambient temperature affects the results.

"I'm not sure the results are real" "I'm not sure it's actually matching Apple's single thread perf" "I'm not sure it runs well when it's in a device" "I'm not sure it actually has good battery life" <-- Your goalposts are here, let us know when they move some more

  • The goalposts have been at "performance-per-watt" for a very, very long time. That was why Apple pivoted from PowerPC to Intel, believe it or not. PowerPC laptops couldn't match the battery life of Intel, so Apple pivoted. How times change!

  • I mean, they're in a thread on my comment whose point is "let's see power per watt".

    The goalposts started there. A comment responded to me by saying some Chinese youtubers found it to be good. The person responded saying "but what about battery life" which was the original topic.

    The person you're responding to also has never said anything about any other metric.

  • top comment right now on this very page: "But actual results inside phone with smartphone cooling and wattage requirement became close to 3300"

    • No lmao, top comment is saying MediaTek's variant of an ARM C1 Ultra dropped to 3300, attempting to link it to this CPU through vibes and magic
