Just wondering how it manages thermals. I know this gen AMD is really great for graphics, but I know thermals also plays a big role.

Right now im on a X1 carbon with 1165g7, and it supposed has pretty good graphics for intel. But even if im getting 100fps ill get dips down to 2fps at times because it starts to throttle.

So while the CPU and igpu are good enough for me on paper, the performance really isnt.

I dont game a ton on it, but its nice to have for the random esports title every so often (so i wish it was better).

So how is FW? And is there a big difference between the 7640U and 7840U?

Thanks.

    How do you think the stock panel is for light gaming? A few others were complaining about ghosting.

      Well I don’t really play using the panel, but from when I do use it I don’t think that that ghosting is really that bad is bad enough to really care. It hasn’t really changed anything for me. The graphics quality is usually lower anyway so your expectations aren’t going to crisp graphics.

        What OS are you running btw? Linux support is high priority for me, and ive heard sleep states arent great on the FW. Hoping it was fixed with the AMD version.

          I run NixOS, which is linux. I haven’t noticed any sleep problems, but the AMD processor is also a lot better at sipping power.
