2125 is the last update for your UHD 620 IGPU. The subsequent versions are only for newer Xe class iGPUs, so the notice can be ignored.
What exact RAM?
This is the 4CU Z1, not the more interesting 12CU Z1 Extreme, for anyone wondering.
The author isn't particularly clear about this, equating it interchangeably (within the very first sentence) to both the 4CU ROG Ally and 12CU Lenovo Legion Go. Towards the end, they state that the Z1 is "still firmly below the Ally," the latter of which can be had in both Z1 and Z1E variants.
Admittedly, AMD isn't particularly helping the situation with their disparate naming conventions, but still. Different performance tiers.
It's proportional, and decreases as available space decreases.
The one in the GN video was a dual V-Cache 5950X3D. 192MB of total L3 and the full 16C/32T.
Closing in on 15 months since initial launch for Zen4 parts. Time is super weird.
He was briefly, but OGS and Safedisk both posted higher scores. Top is Safedisk at 210,702 and 6.25GHz all core. So spicy.
This has already been bumped down to 4th place. Top score at the moment is Safedisk's team, with 210,702. Crazy stuff, but it does look like they all politely staggered their results to give everyone a few minutes in the spotlight. ;)
You could try using a small microfiber cloth with alcohol (you did mention previously trying IPA, but avoid using acetone as it can affect the substrate around the IHS) and even pressure to get a consistent movement while cleaning. If you brush your fingernail gently across the surface, do you feel texture? If so, it's likely light abrasion and further cleaning won't help.
It's essentially cosmetic, you can apply new paste and carry on as normal. Paste is designed to fill those small imperfections to begin with, and you won't notice once you start using your system. :)
I think Steve (y'all, not g'day) has one, if I remember correctly. Could be a fun video during a tech lull.
I can't see any on either Chrome or Duck Duck Go (Chromium) mobile. I was genuinely curious, too, as that sounds like a bad experience, but I just can't replicate it at all.
