I'm about to replace my T470s and am leaning towards a T14s AMD G4 with Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U and IPS panel.

My main concern currently is thermal management regarding volume and possible throttling. Does anybody know if there's a significant deviation in the tree models? Might the T14 or P14s be much better in cooling the CPU and therefore achieve significantly better (long term) benchmark results?

The P14s has a dual heatpipe, I imagine the T14 does as well. The T14s has a wider heatpipe than the single heatpipe Intel T14 models with integrated graphics.

I believe the T14 is tuned for faster fan speeds and longer bursts than the T14s, and the P14s even moreso. So if you want quiet, get the T14s, and if you want speed get the P14s.

The T14s has two USB4 ports, the T14 and P14s only have one.
