Hyper threading. CPU is boosting, consuming way more power with GPU power starved. They might need to fix this behaviour via bios updates. Try to turn hyperthreading off and you will see Improved performance at 30w.

I don't think your battery testing "results" are valid because you aren't running the device from 100% to 0%. You can't assume that battery drain is linear from just a few minutes of testing. Especially when you didn't test the other devices you compared the same way.

Yes, it bugged me cuz as you said, battery drain is not linear but he's the only one doing a test so it's fine really, it gives a rough estimate of what to expect.

Personally I think we need to focus on efficiency not more power. Adds better battery life while performing better at lower wattages. Valve did get this right with AMD and AMD should have made the Z1 chips more efficient at lower wattages than higher ones at around 20w. Hopefully the Z2 chips end up being more efficient at lower wattages and even surpass the Steam Deck at 3-10w

At around 5:30 - 10:30 on a recent definitive look video by the Phawx, he shows a performance graph and according to it keeping thermals set to performance but setting the OS Power Mode to efficiency showed the best. Something about less power to cpu and more to gpu when set to efficiency

Running on Linux, I like to play hell divers with my legion go. 30W can kinda play at around 45-55fps. However, I can push it to 40w. And then it can keep a steady 60 fps. Hell divers 2 is really cpu intensive to all that extra wattage is going to the cpu.

I think you got more battery life when you increased video settings because you were getting way lower fps. Lower fps = MUCH less strain on CPU. Increasing video still should decrease battery life, but the higher fps you get the more it strains the cpu. You can see this in task manager. If you run a game at 144 fps your cpu utilization is significantly higher then if you run a game at 20 fps.

Leigion Go have smaller heat sink and fan compare to Ally (go watch some teardown video). Play at full 30w while charging probably generate more heat than it can handle so it thermo throttle. Another issue with this small fan is it need to spin faster, and the fan noise is unavoidable. And yes, this is hardware issue.

That's like complaining that you can only run at the top of your speed for only 1 minute, but can jog for 20 minutes. Of course less demanding stuff lasts longer, the switch can't even play those AAA titles to begin with

You're just admitting the switch is better right there without even acknowledging it lol what an idiot lol show me one game that makes people want to run out and buy a PC handheld over a switch?

One thing they forgot is the overall ergonomics and users friendly of the device. Dont get me wrong, i think Lenovo Go has a great specs. But if they only iron out all the minor problem and updated it on the long run. But they are eager to take the slice of the pie. They got greedy.
