Aghhh... the new 358h, very tempting, b390 12xe core, is about 9700 passmark, so, vs a nv1060 desktop at 12000 ish, it's honestly ALMOST there.
Tp4 has long argued, you don't need anything faster than 1660ti realistically on mobile.
But the 9700 bench is done on 35-50watt peak, so that is quite special, no discreet plat can get that low, and it certainly can't sustain on battery, whereas the b290 can push that hard on batt.
Hrrrrrm....... Tp4 would still consider it a tad expensive at $1500, but at $800-900, it'd be quite reasonable.
