If the OEMs pack the machines with crippled performance motherboards like the first HP AM4 motherboard the performance will suck even worse. I have worked on three recent AMD laptops that were fit only for a landfill because they were restricted to single channel memory, no matter how much memory you put in. I benchmarked all three machines and they all suffered more than a 50% performance penalty from their advertised specs because the single channel memory. My father-in-law's laptop with an A8 was unable to open MS Word faster than a 3.2 Ghz P4-HT Dell Desktop (Windows 7 vs Windows 10 so not exact comparison) same father-in-law has. He thought there was something wrong because his "new" $350 laptop could not keep up with the old desktop I gave him. I could not believe he was so stupid as to buy without asking me first, but whatever, he got used to the lag. And it lags bad, as in click, wait 5-6 seconds, and then something happens, then click again. I would pull my hair out if I had to work on that.
