I own the 2020 version, its a pretty powerful laptop, but temps get hot when running high performance, and when not connected to adapter, battery runs out pretty quick. so if you just use it to browse and other daily activity that doesnt require the RTX it can last longer and you wont get hot your fingers on the chassis, but you buy this for being a compact-game laptop. there are way cheaper alternatives for daily-use that don't drain battery that quickly.

you omit one of the most vital elements on the CPU - power usage. Intel may out perform in the high end with the 12H series, those are not in comparison to the huge amount the AMD uses less on power. This processor is brilliant and AMD is a clear leader in the X86_64 CPU market, with way better value for money and for power.

If you change the CPU Platform sPPT Wattage and lower this too 100/115 and use Manual settings. You'll get rid of that heating issues and lows 50's temp stable and won't lose performance. The fan temps and speeds are tricky. I found after hours of testing, the best is about fan speed 20% from 30c all the way to when it hits 75c keep the fan speeds at 20% this will keep you CPU temps under control and low 50s or under. This does not apply to GPU which mainly stays quite or power saving due to AMD Smart Shift and only really turns on for games. And if you want to skip all of this, use the silent mode for everyday things and when your ready to game use Manual or Turbo depending on the game. Turbo, and performance is fine maybe even the 6900HS-APU would be better in this case. If you want more detail testing's between many current G14 owners head to Reddit much more details their.
