Looking at buying a new laptop.

Company offers a CPU upgrade to a newer generation for $200.

Look up the CPU benchmark comparisons.

The new generation is 4% slower with the same power draw.

WTF?

If it was a 13th or 14th gen intel they got themselves into trouble for pushing the silicon too hard and were getting failures and had to back it off a bit to keep things stable.
