HP Pavilion Laptop PC 14-dv1000 (464U8AV)

I have a hp pavilion 14 laptop with a core i5 1155g7 and geforce mx450 and also 8gb ram. My gpu nvidia mx450 is a 25w gddr5 version of the mx450 but it has lower base and boost clocks. I do not find my version among the common four variants listed in notebookcheck.

N18S-G5-B: GBD-128 Package, 1395 - 1575 MHz, GDDR6 5001 MHz, 28.5 W
N18S-G5: GB2E-64 Package, 1395 - 1575 MHz, GDDR6 5001 MHz, 25 W
N18S-G5: GB2E-64 Package, 1395 - 1575 MHz, GDDR5 3501 MHz, 25 W
N18S-LP: GB2E-64 Package, 720 - 930 MHz, GDDR6 5001 MHz, 12 W

I have been searching for my gpu model and it is slightly different from variant 3. This is exact gpu model

Hp pavilion mx450Hp pavilion mx450

And this is the actual variant 3 listed

Variant 3Variant 3

Then, which model and what variant is my gpu, is it actually a 25w version? Are these gpus made from the same core variant and are they the same gpu chip being used?

My mx450 gpu only has slightly lower base and boost clock speed but still boost to around 1800mhz like the actual 3rd variant.

And also, are their bios versions compatible and are they of the same core variant. This other version of mx450 is in hp envy notebooks. Are they really different gpu variants?
