I don't know enough technically to comment on, but am curious how this plays into the mobile gaming device SOC/CPUs from AMD. I can say, really like my M1 air, generally good enough battery life and great i/o responsiveness in general. Of course, then I price out a M2 mini, and once I add enough storage/ram it's no longer feels worth the price. Why they even sell a model with under 512gb storage or 16gb memory other than to have a lower "starting from", and even getting to 1tb disk and 16gb or 32gb memory already feels like way too much of a price hike.

> mobile gaming device SOC/CPUs from AMD There are none! Van Gogh (in the Steam Deck) was the first and last one! AMD had a whole family of low power (~9W), graphics heavy chips on their roadmap... And when the time for the first one came, not a single laptop maker picked it up. So AMD seemingly canceled the line, but Valve swooped in and used the only survivor in their handheld. What you see in the ROG Zephyrus and such are rebranded high power laptop chips, which is why they suck so much battery compared to the Steam Deck (even though the Deck chip is much older).
