| Nah, I don't think there's a way to disable PSP on ryzen.

| At this point it's probably better to wait for the T14.

| This looks like a very good CPU. At some point it would be nice
| to see a well-cooled laptop with an 8 core CPU benchmarked

| TDP side and I wonder if we may be reaching the point where only
| games and a handful of really demanding (non-cloud) workloads
| require a desktop.

| Just to clarify for anyone who at first misunderstood the

| Sileni wrote:
| Which is pretty much a given with integrated graphics. The Vega

| the 3000 series laptops.

| Kinda weird to deep link into the middle of a review.
