I still don't have access to one of the laptops, but looking online
they should have one of the following: i5-8265U, i5-8365U, i7-8565U,
or i7-8665U. The tpm is discrete, so I don't know that the cpu will
matter. Looking at a log, in the t490s case it is an STMicroelectronics
chip. So both Infineon and STM so far.
