We did not have up to date benchmarks for the 7840U and 8840U, but you can compare them with our original 2024 review at ua-cam.com/video/l7VrnGGMYkI/v-deo.html For our testing with Win 4 and MAX 2 2025 models, we saw fairly close scores with the 7840U and 8840U in GPU specific benchmarks as its the same GPU. Comparing these with the HX 370, we do see a jump in performance with the faster GPU. It is not a massive jump but generally increases in all tests. For reference our Win 4 2025 (ua-cam.com/video/EudjvGSp11A/v-deo.html) and MAX 2 2025 (ua-cam.com/video/QKOu3qRP4H0/v-deo.html) reviews have comparisons with 6800U to 8840U models, so you can get a rough idea of performance increases between processors from that.
Most people purchasing this device are upgrading from an older device. I believe there should be an extra segment comparing benchmarks to the 7840U or 8840U
Would be cool but I think there's like a 20% increase over the 7840u. It's not worth upgrading right now I'm saying this cuz I benchmarked my win mini 7840u and my onexplayer 370
@@sparkz6381 the 370 is a massive massive! Upgrade over steam deck power. Also for gaming you will never understand how much a keyboard helps out until you try a handheld with the keyboard 100% game charger
did they fix hibernate/sleep not working half the time? it's the one thing I hate about my 8840U WM2 - and yeah, i got a replacement device, they're all like this :/
Battery life at 28W is lower than the 8840U on the HX 370. This is what we test at for comparisons on all devices. Higher and Lower TDPs will give different results depending on the processor.

thanks for sponsoring handheld companion

I'd like to see that as well, I currently have a Max 7840u.

@@lennxeath3293 I'm coming from a Steam Deck OLED and I need a bit more performance to hit the 40 fps mark at 1080p for Path of Exile 2

@@sparkz6381I’m with ya on this one being a fellow deck player! But I have the OG launch deck😂 this will for sure be more powerful than mine
Looking fwd for this with 395 instead.
Is it worth upgrading from 8840u to 370?
What graphical settings did you use for the cyberpunk 2077 benchmark? Steam deck preset?
The default Lowest settings with no FSR.

I will check when I am back in the office on Monday.
Isn't this a mini max 2 with a better green?
This is a smaller device, you can compare the differences with our WIN MAX 2 2025 review at ua-cam.com/video/QKOu3qRP4H0/v-deo.html
The only reason that would make jump on the 2025 version is better thermals and heat dissipation ... How is it compared to the 2024 version?
2024 model had 68db fan noise and 59 degrees C temperature. The 2025 is around 65 and 55 respectively.
What game is at the 10 minute mark?
Hammerwatch II
9:41 what game is this ?
It is one of the games on UFO50. It is a bunch of mini games with a retro style theme.
8840U is better option because of efficiency. HX 370 needs more power at least 35w. so It doesn't fit for UMPC. Maybe hx 370 is suitable for laptop.
Hx 370 is more efficient than the 8840u 17/18w on the hx370 is 25w on the 8840u
nope. hx 370 is more efficient. if you want low tdp just set it to 15w.
