AMD has always been better at price/performance but in the laptop space the number 1 through 10 most important features are efficiency. Intel CPUs use less power and make less heat, which has always been the limiting factor.
- BubRoss 7y agoI don't think that is true anymore. AMD has a process advantage and measures their heat by the max clock rate, while Intel calls their max clock rate 'core boost' and measures their TDP with lower clocks. You can see benchmarks of the newest CPUs have Intel's high end chip that was just released ending up consuming about 100 more watts under heavy CPU loads.
