Hi all,

Thinking on updating my programming laptop.

NOT REALLY NEEDED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, just a little perspective:
I'm in doubt with:

A) Thinkpad X1 Extreme.
B) Thinkpad P1.
C) Thinkpad T14s.
A and B are quite similar (they are focused to different kind of markets - gamers/video editing / 3D designers).
C is the natural replacement for my current laptop (Thinkpad T460s).

A & B have a nice GPU, P1 would help better when playing with 3D models (not very usual for me), and X1 maybe for video editing (also not very usual in my case).

Anyway the processor in A & B seems much more powerful than the one in T14s:


PROCESSOR COMPARISON and the question itself
Intel website comparison: A & B [i7-10850H] vs C [i7-10610U][^]

As far as I can understand, i7-10850H: has a much better base speed, more cache, more cores and more threads so it should be much more faster than the i7-10610U. But it needs more power to work (battery will last shorter).

I am surprised the price of both processors is similar... in fact the i7-10610U is more expensive...

Am I missing something here? Why is that "lower end" processor more expensive?

Thank you all...
