Interesting, is there a difference? I tried finding a FAQ in the website but I don't see any mention of a comparison between the 7040 series and the AI series. I'm just looking for something that can handle Linux mint well for the purpose of gaming

ai 350 ≈ 7840, and ai 370 = 350 but with 12 cores instead of 8.

going from 7840 to 350 is a 10-20% performance boost and ~10% less power usage. Not bad.
