...you tell your boss that laptop CPUs are watered down versions of desktop GPUs and they claim they are exactly the same and are equally as powerful

Mind Is Full Of Fuck

There was also a discussion that took place where it was proclaimed that 'all i7 CPUs are the same', despite the fact there are low/med/high/dual core mobile versions

 Spoiler:
 


I should probably include that this is in the middle of the entire office, and to point it out probably wouldn't put me in the best of places with this person.

Let him believe whatever garbage he wants to believe. Not worth it. Plus, you have a job to think about.

But it affects my work PC, potential upgrades etc


If this is the case, then get a bunch of your other colleagues with you and then try to relay your points by politely making your boss go through some strong supporting hardware related articles.

To summarize, get more supporting colleagues and keep requesting to see your points politely.


Maybe this douche is trying to save hardware-upgrading costs!

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
