If you are among the people who specifically need high performance or have specific requirements on the number of cores, Ryzen 7 and 9 are out there. For a price.
The performance of this CPU on this $600 laptop is good enough by any standard.

But you're not going to find 7040 processors for much less than this anyway.
a) Since the 4xxx series AMD had HDMI 2.0 available. Infact 4xxx competed with the Core 9th gen and 10th gen and till 11th Gen Tiger Lake and only on the higher i7s, Intel did not have a HDMI 2.0 working.
Roughly these are equivalent among competition
4xxx - 10th Gen Core
5xxx - 11th Gen Core
6xxx - 12th Gen Core
7x4x - 13th Gen Core
8x4x - 14th Gen Core
Now this laptop is 4 generations higher from AMD 8940HS despite the worst marketing shenanigans of AMD employed since its Athlon XP ++ ratings. The HDMI port is HDMI 1.4b from 2018??
b) One of the areas where AMD has perpetually lagged behind Intel is their external IO. Intel had Thunderbolt 3 for a long time with 20Gbps bidirectional bandwidth and went with TB4 with 40Gbps. Heck even Apple went with Intel just because of that despite both in performance and power AMD was kicking Intel's butt.
The first M1 laptops even had TB ports. Finally AMD gets USB4 with the 6000 series which started properly working after some bios updates. Now it is really incredible that instead of 2 USB4 being there we have 2x USB-C (USB 5Gbps / USB 3.2 Gen 1), with USB PD 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 Gen1 and not even Gen2 10Gbps.
Till now I thought DELL is the only one that purposefully does this to AMD, but atleast they would do so with 5700U but despite saddling with a pathetic 250 nit 45% NTSC display atleast on occasion they would have 1 USB-C 3.2Gen2.available.
But Lenovo takes the cake for being even worser than Dell..
