AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U: ACPI Platform Profile Low-Power vs. Balanced vs. Performance

[t.s.]

Not advertising it per se... More like the hardware I have. AMD nor any vendor sent out Rembrandt, but got a good 4th of July sale on this laptop for like $1100 something compared to normal $2k+ price.

Mike, do you have a power consumption numbers from the wall? Thanks!

Lenovo have carried on IBM's careful documentation practices, and I really appreciate it. All of my family's laptops for the last 5 years have been Lenovos.

Minus their bad practice to white-listing peripherals like wifi cards, etc..

ETA Prime tested this one and posted a link, it's even in stock although I cannot vouch for its availability in other countries:

https://amazon.com/dp/B0B5F7YC14

From the link it's difficult to check the specifications.

That listing includes a Lenovo model number a ways down the page: 21AS0015US. Entering that into the wonderful psref.lenovo.com leads to https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Thin...B?M=21AS0015US.

While there, click 'view platform specifications' on the right. There's tons of information, including the hardware maintenance guide with full disassembly instructions.

This CPU is so good, it is almost like manufacturers are afraid to use it. They are so in their own grove. (Or maybe contracts/ availability)
This can actually be competition for the M1-Pro in certain workloads...

I think availability is the main problem here... so far the 6800U and 6850U is basically vaporware.
All I want is a good 17" notebook, for example a version of the LG gram with a 6800U, but at this point it's clear I shouldn't hold my breath for that.

A good CPU... now if only there were more than one shippable notebook model that uses either the 6850U or the 6800U.

You have been advertising this thinkpad for quite some time and in several different posts. What is interesting, is that it is not available anywhere in Europe or Asia.

Pretty much first time I see a platform power profile or general power savings without benchmarks all over the place.
Looks like it works as one would expect.
