To sell old hardware under new labels and let OEMs do alike. Production of old chips is cheaper and allows ripping off uninformed, i.e., most endconsumers. The cutest of the uninformed see "7" and think "latest generation".

Wondering why AMD still hanging on to zen2 and zen3... Doesn't make any sense...

I guess the turbo clock and RAM helps it against the 5300U.

Quote from: e-baisa on June 17, 2022, 10:52:25Making a laptop with just 4GB RAM is kind of brave. Sure, it is perfectly usable, especially with the right software. I have a Surface Pro 2, which is a dual core 4300U (and those two cores boost only up to 2.7GHz), with 4GB of LPDDR3, and 128GB SSD. On its original Windows8, and with Firefox, media consumption (including internet browsing) was just fine. So with twice as many cores in Mendocino, that also run 50% faster, plus NVME SSD to address when going over 4GB of RAM, user experience in media consumption is likely to be good as well, as long as you do not use software that is too much for such hardware configuration.

4 GB of RAM is becoming a stinker. You can make it work, but when you hit the wall, it can really suck. Even on ChromeOS. Just don't get it unless you can expand it yourself.

There are two rumored Mendocino SKUs: AMD Athlon Gold 7220U and AMD Athlon Silver 7020U. These could be dual-cores and more likely to be paired with 4 GB than the 7320U. The Mendocino APU apparently supports up to 32 GB.

stop using userbenchmark. it's just emberrasing to see these articles.

They're recycling codenames now? I did have a Mendocino Celeron once.

These are the kinda guys giving you advice on computer forums. "Go find a laptop with a 6W, ultra-budget, ultra-lower power CPU, but make sure it comes... With DISCRETE GRAPHICS". Wow.
Like, why do you even post stuff like this? Does it make you feel better about yourself or?..

and basically, Intel 12th gen U series are nowhere to be seen
