Not a huge fan of the name, when they start talking about BIOSes for this specific CPU it'll be... "Phoenix BIOS".

We would need a Fanless Laptop to compare it to an M2 MacBook Air. Giving both similar cTDP range.

Looks impressive. I wonder if the Linux support is (will be?) good.

AMD Linux support is excellent. Overall support will depend on what the OEM puts on the motherboard: touchpad, networking, sound, backlight, etc.

So I keep hearing, yep, I'm mostly wondering if any potentially new power management shenanigans will be supported in a timely manner.

And this comment is being down voted for expressing hope that something important will find its way to the Linux kernel soon.

So confusing.
