“Hey I've been researching this thing the best I can from what I've gathered it has the readeon 8060s which is entry level? everything i see compares it to the rtx 4070 thus the 4070 must be entry level or is amd claims of the igpu performance false?”

Its an RDNA3.5 40CU iGPU with a relatively low TDP limit sharing up to 120W. It'll likely perform comparably to a desktop RX 7600 because of that. CPU wise, its effectively a TDP limited 9950x with quad channel 8000MT/sec RAM. Zen5 does great at low TDPs but still wants ~40W per CCD for optimal core clock boosting. In this device specifically, it appears to have an 80W TDP limit which is about middle of the 45-120W range its capable of. That will be the limitation on the Max+ 395. Doesn't mean it won't perform amazingly, just more of a limitation than I was hoping as a USB4 eGPU host.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The iGPU performs comparably to an NVIDIA 4070 mobile GPU in a laptop. It's very good, not entry-level. As others have mentioned, the CPU effectively operates as a TDP-limited 9950X desktop, making it incredibly fast. In this device, the TDP limit is around 70-80W, but it's already very fast at just 35-40W. If you search online for reviews on YouTube (The Phawx), you can see that both low and high TDP limits can be adjusted, allowing you to tune performance and battery usage. In a device like this you would want to change lower limit and this one can work at lower than 10W. Under 10W is fantastic
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nope! The performance is real, it actually just performs the same as the mobile RTX 4070 (which is what they're referring to, not the desktop 4070). BestBuy doesn't know what entry level is, sadly, so don't expect them to have all of their facts straight.
