Alder Lake Core i9-12900HX-powered Lenovo Y9000P gets an early review: some games show performance regression vs the 12700H

A Chinese reviewer recently got their hands on the Lenovo Y9000P, a laptop equipped with Intel's Core i7-12800HX chip. Interestingly, the reviewer's testing indicates that gaming gains over the 14-core 12700H are limited, with some titles actually showing performance regression compared to the lower-power chip.
