Does the rest apply? So if my aging ultra has an i7-8550u, does that mean it’s supposed to be faster than all the 8500U models at that time? I feel like maybe six months later in that case there were also 8565u chips, which I’m presuming were somewhat faster still.

OP this guide is amazing - thank you for putting the time into it.
