AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme Proves Very Versatile For Power/Performance - Benchmarks Against The Ryzen 7 7840U

Is it possible to build a desktop PC with a Z1?

Why don't they make laptops with this thing then?

These chips are targeted for gaming devices, my understanding is that they have a better iGPU than what one would expect in an APU on that range, while the average laptop user prefers a more powerful CPU.

How can a smaller device have more performance than a bigger device with better cooling and the same CPU?

The larger device is optimizing more for battery time, rather than performance.

while providing admirable performance as well

That's cool, but that should be customizable. Now I set this profile because I need that the battery lasts for 20 hours, now I want full power.

Asus lets you do precisely this (and you can do it in linux too), but even the conservative profiles are turbo happy.
