The 7540U is a 28W Zen 4 part. If the 8520U exists it will be a 15W Zen 2 part.

At the 15W and below TDP range performance won’t actually be as far apart as you would think, you can see this with steam deck vs rog ally performance at 15W or lower TDPs.

The way to think about it is that there is the 20, 30, 40, and 50 series with bigger being better and within each series you have the model year (7/8/9 etc) and the tier of each part in the series.

For example, which TV is better. S95B or the S90C or the QN95C or the S95C?

Performance leaks more than a few months prior to launch will at best be targeted performance and often it could be in a very simple metric like TFlops.

The 2.5x 6900XT performance claim did not hold up in terms of FPS uplift but it did in terms of TFlop uplift. Even if some people did think it was a TFlop increase the expected fps improvement of such a huge jump was expected to be higher than what we got.

It is not meant to be realistic. It is meant to be accelerated. If the TV is fine after watching thousands of hours of CNN with vibrant fixed elements then dark mode desktop users or gamers who play a lot of games with static UI elements should also be absolutely fine.

It is also great for indicating after how many hours you will start to see issues. For some that might happen in less than a year and for others it might be 4/5 years.

Sample size of 1 is an issue but a lot of the panels are used in multiple TVs, the QD OLED is used in both the S95B and A95K and the 2nd gen is in both the S95C and A95L. The WOLED panels LG make are used in a lot of TVs so really the sample size is quite a lot broader than a single panel.

Keep in mind that this test is inherently unrealistic as they are stressing these displays way more than 99% of people would ever do.

It is an accelerated test. Sure under normal usage you won’t see the effects in the time span rtings have but if you have the TV for 5 years you can build up to a similar amount of wear.
