When limited to 5 watts, the Ryzen HX 370 works pretty darn well. In some low-power user cases, my GPD Pocket 4 is more power efficient than my M3 MBA.

We are going to need to see some numbers for your claim. That’s not believable.

A 8.8" screen takes a lot less power.

When you say efficiency, I assume you’re factoring in performance of the device as well?

Maybe run Geekbench 6 and see.

I am not the original commenter; but they said "low-power user cases" i.e. very much not when running Geekbench; rather when it is near idle.

		For my use case, I plug in a external SSD drive, setup an MP3 playlist, close the lid then put the computer into my backpack for low wattage listening. The M3 MBA uses about 50% more power than the P4 under this use case (usbc watt meter shows this).

		FYI, AMD chips are notoriously bad at idle.

We will need some citations on that as the GPD Pocket 4 isn't even the most power efficient pocket pc.

Closest I've seen is an uncited Reddit thread talking about usb c charging draw when running a task, conflating it with power usage.

		When the computers are at 100% charge, the usbc watt meter between device and charging brick is power draw.

How about single-core performance?
