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?

I recently bought a framework laptop and have been very happy with it

I use https://starlabs.systems/

curious to what you end up getting, i've been contemplating a portable workhorse since i'm away from my battlestation most of the time

Look into frame.work/linux for first class Linux support + hardware switches for camera and mic.

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.
