do you have any reference to that or is it just your guess because from my experience if the processor is not throttling and has same tdp then it will get very close to the benchmark results found online unless you have some issues with the hardware setup or software setup. I am not asking for the absolute max scores seen online, just the average. Also, can you link to any article or video about optimising background apps because I am tech-savvy enough to try them. In the windows 10 clean Install I did, I did not install any extra stuff, did not enable any of extra windows features as well. Was sure to clear out programs from taskbar tray. I have not mentioned in the original post but I even tried to play with curve optimiser or to enable PBO with Universal tuning utility but they are not working for my cpu probably because this is a mobile cpu. And in my case I am getting 14.5k R23 at 54w and 14.9k at 65w tdp instead of 16k users are getting at 54w tdp.

No, I am not saying BIOS made the multicore worse but my mini pc R23 multicore score and other CPU benchmark scores has been very low compared to reviews of my Mini PC or the processor in general. My mini-pc cpu performance at 65W is less than what others get at 45W for this CPU which I feel like something is wrong.

I bought a Beelink SER 7 mini pc one week back. It has crucial 32gb 5600mhz ram and 1tb crucial P3 plus ssd. OS is Windows 11 pro with Bitlocker enabled. I am getting R23 multicore score of 14.5k and in Geekbench 6.2 multicore is 11k. While the scores are not bad they are a lot lower compared to what SER7 with 7840hs is capable of or in general what 7840hs is capable especially considering that in SER 7 it is running at 54W tdp. I am getting a similar score at 65W tdp as well. Other than low scores I feel like I have a few random freezes but I am not sure. I am getting 3.3k score in 3dmark timespy which is good and is the expected score. What have I tried to diagnose till now are 1) installed clean Windows 10 with the latest AMD adrenaline drivers and chipset drivers. tried with only drivers and full install of drivers and still the Cinebench scores are similar, 14.7k 2) Updated latest BIOS from the vendor and the Cinebench score now dropped to 14.5k average. Also, experienced a blue screen for the first time. 3) Tried to play with different configurations and settings in Universal Tuning Utility and nothing changed. Temps are good, reaching 80c and sometimes even 83-84c but mostly it stays around and below 80c Any suggestions? and also if others with the same or similar CPU like 7840u, 7940hs or Z1 Extreme will you please post your Cinebench R23 scores plz?

I can't get over the fact that linus tried to justify the billet labs debacle. I seen Linus get very angry at companies for injustice many times thats why i like him too but in this case even if he is the founder of LTT, he should have owned it instead he tried to justify it. I dont like to say it but he is little narcissistic.

I kind of understand LTT/linus not wanting to address this in video format but I feel like a thorough fact-checked response in some format for everything GN said is needed. Let me explain why it is needed, consider the chain fountain videos made by Electroboom and SteveMold. Every time one of the other made a video in response to the other I was convinced by the one that published most recent video. Like, I don't have time to research on my own or the understanding of the concepts to know better so I am swayed by whoever made the most recent video in that exchange. Similarly, right now I relate to GN and his claims, especially since some of the things he mentioned are very true and very real problems like the whole situation with billet labs. Being a viewer since the inception of LTT I also feel like the videos are rushed and LTT acknowledges it as well but because they don't or cant give roadmap to what they are doing to address this, I am just left to hope for better and the hope is depleting because I can't see the change or what they are doing outside the videos. More behind the scene video would be appreciated to relate to your struggles, I know they are more in floatplane but I can't buy that. Anyway, the GN video has more than those claims and those things I feel like need a response because not everything is cut and dry and right and wrong. Things are more nuanced than just right and wrong and I don't have time or resources to know better in this case as well other than giving LTT benefit of doubt that they will take critisim and improve because of their past reputation. But It won't be the same watching the videos anymore because it is my hope instead of something more concrete like your response explaining things. But, GN is not wrong to consider LTT as a big corporation but they could have contacted LTT for more information though, it will still be GN choice whether or not to consider the information provided by LTT. More information is always better but GN might also have a valid reason for not doing that, IDK. We will never know. The whole Asus motherboard bios thing was also handled differently by LTT and rest of the tech youtubers. I get that LTT tried to contact Asus and get a better understanding before reacting but never made any statement on the matter explaining everything other than few comments on WAN show. I feel like LTT did not feel like covering it, but I want to know why it did not feel like covering it, I hope its not because they are sponsors( not even partially it should be this reason). Only other reason I can think of is that they don't want to cover controversial things on their channel anymore and its their right to set vision/rules but I don't like that reason either if that is the reason that is. There was a video questioning Kurzgesagt ethics and watching Kurzgesagt videos until they made a video addressing the issue was not the same.

ya, ubisoft sucks, I had these login issues in XBOX. I just gave up.

I am one of those people who uses intel iGPU, although I dont use steam that much. My 970m is broken so I disabled it in bios and using 4th gen intel iGPU.

So like you said before, it can do 1400VA (or roughly 800W) for bad components like AC motors but also very similar around 800W for components with good PF. My whole confusion is because I though those two numbers are related but they are not. Even though they can be converted into each other they are specifying different things which I will only understand when I understand the electrical subject related to this more

hmm, I guess that VA number is just BS. I though maybe I could get away with smaller UPS but i guess not.

ok, It did not make full sense to me yet but what I understand from your second para is something like the wires can handle 6A but the electrical and electronic components that do the work can only do 3.6A. Regardless of whether what I understood is correct or not basically its UPS makers marketing bullshit. If not bullshit then is it something electrician use for calculating some other aspect? Edit: I did know that VA rating is some BS but after trying to learn a little more I though maybe I understood it wrong but now I am thinking it is misleading marketing BS again. But your first statement is little confusing, in theory it is usually W = VA x PF right but if what you say is true then in this case they are not related at all.

ya, but UPS link I sent you has wattage rating correctly at 0.6 percent of VA rating. And I think it is calculated safe wattage value with assumption being connected load PF to be 0.6, which I don't like since electronics now a days have better PF values. But ofcourse it is not bad thing since it would be overkill and overall better for the system. I just want to understand this better. edit: yep, its AC thing, I forgot about that but that mean it should not matter if CPU and GPU have a PF value and also that Bard results could be better

So, a friend asked me to find UPS for his system. Rough worst case estimate of power usage for that system should be 500W, so with PF of 0.6(everyone likes this number) a UPS above 830 VA should be enough. But I want to understand this better. His sys specs intel 13400 6750xt DDR 4 ram, 8GB x 2 1tb crucial p3 corsair RM850e 27" QHD 165hz monitor, have to ask for model number. dont remember motherboard model or make so now my doubt is what are the power factor for each of those components. Main power consuming components are CPU, GPU and then monitor. So if we account for them it is enough right? I asked google bard for PF values for CPU and GPU and it tells me that they should be 0.85 - 0.95 for intel CPU, Nvidia GPU and 0.8 - 0.9 for AMD cpu and gpu. Are these values correct and what about monitor PF. Modern power supplies also comes with PFC( power factor correction circuits).so, Another question is since PSU have PFC circuits, does it even matter what the components PF values are since they are dealt with in PSU and all that matters is PSU efficiency? If not then should we first calculated total power for CPU, GPU and then multiply with PSU efficiency to get final system power? and why does UPS makers assume 0.6 as power factor, I mean they give rated power in Watts so low compared to rated power in VA. APC UPS product link

Can you guys do a video where you explain power factor of different modern computer equipment and therefore coming up with suggestion for UPS capacity. Also, the power losses at PSU. Basically a little indepth total system power analysis. I was doing research for selecting UPS and even the manufacturers give rated power very low, suggesting 0.6 Power factor which I am having hard time believing.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, dammit was expecting something different. APU(2200G) it is for now since the new 3000 series APU is still based on zen+, there is no point in waiting also.

So, are you guys saying old CPU's like Pentium 4 has iGPU?
