Opinion: Ryzen 4000 mobile is a great solution to thin and light gaming laptops

Most thin and lights have big battery nowadays According to several reviews from reputable sources, it's proven that Ryzen 4000 mobile gaming laptops are able to achieve longer battery life compared to Intel's 14nm. The difference could be as big as 30-100% like Zephyrus G14. Cooling room is limited due to thinner chassis Zen 2 frequency scales with lower power budget really well due to more superior efficiency. Even with relatively low power limit like 35W, it can still perform decently while not outputting too much heat. Eg. 8c16t able to maintain >3GHz, pulling 35W, even under extreme load like Aida64 FPU. Hence, manufacturers don't have to worry too much about heat while still maintaining decent CPU performance. Wish we could see more thin and light gaming laptops with Ryzen inside in future.
