Can’t find the specs for an HP Pavilion even knowing model and serial №. Cannot simply find out what kind of CPU it has before buying. I challenge ppl who are good at searching to find the answer! (infosec.pub)

I saw an HP pavilion 17-f048nb at a street market and cannot find the specs for this. I simply want to know if the CPU is AMD, and if so which AMD. It’s such a shitshow on HP’s website. Considering the same HP model can sometimes have either intel or AMD, do I have any way to find out?

Sometimes you can get /some/ details based on the serial number at https://partsurfer.hp.com/ but not the CPU.

A slightly different model (17-f048ca) reportedly has an amd chip. But what do the last two letters mean? Is that a country code for where it is deployed?

AskUSA: how in the US would you extract this secret information from HP, who presumably has their corp HQ in California?

Steamroller is... slightly better, but AMD really fixed things with the first gen Ryzen APUs. Those were awesome.

Intel was golden in the 2011s and on though, and they got newer instructions earlier.

I dont know if this is appropriate to offer, but if you are in the US or somewhere I can ship to, I have two PCs I have been meaning to sell anyway.

One is a Intel 4670K desktop with a Nvidia 980 TI, 12GB RAM.

The other is an Asus ROG G14 with an AMD 4600HS and Nvidia 2060 TI, 16GB RAM. It has a broken display I've tried and failed to repair (bad mobo header, I think?), but it works perfectly with HDMI or displayport out. They're... just right here:

It seems Argos is CUDA accelerated; the GPUs would be useful for that.

I realize I'm just a random internet stranger, but I could put one on Swappa/eBay or whatever and you could just message me here about them. I'd be happy to try things or load stuff up. I also have knowledge on tuning them, and could ship them with whatever you want.

Sorry if that was unsolicited, or if thats not what you are looking for. I am really not trying to spam, it just seemed like they fit your workload.

    It would have to ship overseas and would not want anything with an IME or PSP anyway. Shipping alone would exceed what I would pay at my local street markets.

    I appreciate all your insights. I was originally open to any of the 15h chips but your feedback has me thinking I should really be more narrowly focused on Steamroller-based chips. Which is not ideal because I think steamroller is dicey as there are contradicting claims about whether steamroller chips have a PSP.
