Seems like the possible performance increase was due to higher memory clocks. It's rolled into this stuff from the article, "...LPDDR4X memory inside the latter. So the new version should be just as fast as the previous one (or even faster due to LPDDR4X's higher memory clocks)..."
I do not see memory timings listed anywhere. generally speaking mobile anything is slower than full out component (this case DDR vs LPDDR) low power for a reason I suppose.
not always true, but more often than not it very much is.
Does LPDDR4X have worse timings in an absolute sense or in just in clock cycles? If it's the latter, they'll likely still be faster or at least equal given the rather dramatic increase in clock speed from the 2400MT/s DDR4 most laptops use.
I've seen a rash of articles about Samsung and LG shutting down their manufacturing centers on virus worries. Is this laptop being produced outside of their Korean manufacturing bloc?

> Of particular interest, the model of the laptop is coupled with LPDDR4X memoryHP Spectre x360 2019/comet lake refresh has been shipping with LPDDR4X since last year November.
The rest of the specs on this look boring

Pretty sure those were Ice Lake, not Comet Lake models with LPDDR4X.erinadreno - Tuesday, March 3, 2020 - link
Do you even count?guess it's not surprising for someone who can't differentiate 14 and 10 zulul

How come it can be faster since LPDDR4X has worse latencies compared to DDR4?PeachNCream - Monday, March 2, 2020 - link
