Relatively few people are probably looking for the perfect laptop. The average user might just want something cheap that does the basic tasks for them, and this is exactly where you will find more and more AMD CPUs.
- mhh__ 5y agoThe average user might not a really know what a CPU is, keep on mind.
- mumblemumble 5y agoIt's also exactly where you will find absolutely nobody who makes a habit of running PassMark on their computer. This graph more-or-less only measures the enthusiast Windows user market.
- huntertwo 5y agoFunny that you mention that AMD CPUs are the 'cheap and basic' option when it seems like over the past 5 years Intel has become the inferior chip manufacturer.
- TonyTrapp 5y agoI didn't mean to imply that the CPUs are inferior, quite the contrary - they give you more bang for the buck, which is why you often find them in cheap offers. When the AMD CPUs are cheaper than the Intel CPUs, of course more computer makers will put them into their cheap builds. The fact that they are better CPUs is a nice bonus.
- beebeepka 5y agoI am not buying it either. AMD has been the performance leader for a while. OEMs putting the fastest CPU into a junk chassis because "they are cheaper" makes zero sense unless we're talking shenanigans
- sjcoles 5y agoUntil the 4000 series of Ryzen mobile Intel had a pretty clear lead in 15-25w part market. With wider availability of Ryzen 5000 series mobile CPUs I expect to see far more options by Q12022.
