"Virtually everything in the Gamer Laptop Category is going to be faster in virtually every measure" So this statement is made on the basis of what data?

  On the fact that discrete gaming laptops have higher power requirements and better cooling solutions, in turn allowing much faster CPUs to run in them. That's the most meaningful constraint for mobile CPUs today, after all.

    If you're not going to compare Apples to Apples, i.e. if power, cooling and size is a constraint you're not going to care about at all, you might as well count desktop PCs as well. Apples measurement comes pretty close to comparing "laptops that most people would actually buy". Not sure why it's meaningful that a laptop maker can put out a model that's as thick as a college book, has the very top bins of all parts, sounds like a jet engine when running at max speed, and is purchased by 1% of the most avid gamers. Oh, and if someone puts out a second model that adds RGB backlit keyboard, but is otherwise equivalent, that should somehow count against Apples achievements, because for some reason counting by number of models is meaningful regardless of how many copies that model sold o_O

    So no data except a view that more power and more cooling automatically leads to better performance independent of process, architecture and any other factors?
