gollark: If you look at the mobile lineup for 7th gen vs 8th gen, you see that 8th gen has a lot more cores and also worse clocks.
gollark: Er, not their laptops, their mobile CPUs.
gollark: Intel decided to add tons of cores to their laptops without (allegedly) increasing the TDP, so clocks are bad.

gollark: It has an actual dedicated GPU, might be better for gaming.
