That one really should have been underlined in some sort of red squiggle line, but then again there have been a number of comically noteworthy errors like the 3x32 = 128 math mistakes in that G.Skill RAM piece. I do wish they would circle back around and at least check with their proofreaders (the lot of us) to fix more of the mistakes.
The A6-9220 is specified at 10-15W - even here, it seems it can't realistically compete against the similarly-aged 4415U let alone the 8350U. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Pentium-Gold-4415U-v... In a few tests it matches up but it's usually closer to 50% of performance.
The A6-9220C has been restricted to 6W so I imagine it'd be even worse: https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A6-9220C-Process... But perhaps what matters most is how long it can last? Sadly it seems it lasts a lot less although the AMD option is a third of a pound lighter and perhaps that reflects less battery.
Intriguingly the 4415U does better than the far-newer 4417U despite having half the cache: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Pentium-Gold-4415U-v... This may reflect the impact of Meltdown/Spectre, as I doubt they have redone the tests.
Of course, if you *want* an A6-9220C you can apparently get the Lenovo 14w 81MQ with Win10 Pro Academic, 14" FHD (1920x1080), 4GB soldered DDR4-1666 and 128GB PCIe x2 NVME SSD for just over £300 - or double the SSD and RAM (no OS) for $453. The power adapter? 45W USB-C.
Let's trust Google to not data mine sensitive corporate R&D just like we blindly trust Google with a persistently open microphone that has to be that way in case we say the safety words.
Yeah no thanks. The Alphabet mothership already sucks up enough bread crumbs to reconstruct the whole loaf.
