That's from the Anandtech article analysis? Well they updated it:

Technically you are correct in that its classified as a U, but as you state, even on cTDPdown it uses 33% more power, and I've never seen a laptop that uses cTDPdown exclusively. But yea I meant 15W when talking about the Us. Outside of Apple, and maybe Sony no-one else uses 28W U chips.

That's because a quad-core U with GT3e graphics doesn't exist.

I tried Smartphone VR setups. Are the dedicated headsets really an improvement in immersiveness over Smartphone VR? I can't believe resolution itself will be the sole factor in determining how immersive you feel. One problem I see with VR is your eye is required to stay unmoving with no change...

The Videocardz page says this: -Intel Dynamic Tuning — NEW! Dynamic power sharing enables enthusiast performance in sleek systems -Up front design benefit of 17.5W -Same performance with up to 18% higher efficiency What if its due to them?

Again, they are behind, but not as far behind as you say: "2/3rd A73" If you look at Goldmont-based "Apollo Lake" Pentium N4200 and Atom T5700 numbers, the top numbers belong to Android. They might be able to get into the 2100-2200 range. Also looking at TDPs, the Silvermont-based Braswell...

And Goldmont is 30% faster than Silvermont. They are still quite a bit behind, but not that behind. Goldmont Plus performs about the level of Snapdragon 835. Yes, Atom name is still used in embedded, their cable modem lines, and server. I guess the mobile one was the most noticeable by...

Why point out the obvious? I know that H models are 2-chip and U/Ys use 1 chip. This is an H class chip. Yet its only one chip. The question is again: Where is the PCH chip?

Is nobody going to point out the fact the board doesn't have a secondary main chip, aka PCH? Does the chip have everything, making it a real SoC? Is the "custom" AMD part providing the PCH function? Or is the leftover x8 slot on the CPU used for IO? I think this information is significant in...

Why not? That's what they are presenting it for. Besides, a 45W part is going to extremely limit GPU portion in performance. Seems like a good HQ chip + 1050 Ti Laptop replacement, not just sucking up for Apple.

The information so far correlates very closely with the earlier leaks. https://tech4gamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/intel-kaby-lake-g.jpg It has GT2 graphics on die, as the table indicates. The leaks also said it uses PCIe x8 for connecting the CPU to the GPU, which makes sense...

They are capable of running them at least on low settings if not better. FP16 would not only make it better but save power in mobile. And there's no evidence Ryzen mobile doing it significantly better. They would need HBM2 integrated doing so and such memory is in extremely costly...

Intel's Gen 9 architecture supports 2x FP16. And they have majority of the market. Doesn't that indicate there's a significant base for supporting half float in games?

I'm pretty sure the governments don't care. They are greedy anyway. Solar is not for saving money, but preparing for emergencies like if the grid power goes out. Though if its a widespread outage you better hope you aren't in a big city where looters can steal your panels and batteries. It's...

I think the drivers are a problem for Vega as much as the hardware. Actually Nvidia was always much better on the driver department. Their features just work. Some observations: -If you have the iGPU enabled, you can't change clock and voltage settings on Polaris. Even with Afterburner or...
