Preliminary Ryzen 9 7940HS performance figure fails to impress as AMD's flagship "Phoenix" APU trails behind Core i9-12900H

The Ryzen 9 7940HS is AMD’s next-generation Phoenix-HS APU featuring the company’s latest Zen 4 CPU cores and an RDNA 3 iGPU in the form of a Radeon 780M. Rumors had it that the Radeon 780M would be slightly faster, if not equal, than the Radeon 680M. The latest performance showcase from Bilibili makes the Radeon 780M appear measurably ahead of its predecessor.
