Being a laptop, which emphasizes on portability and battery only usage, I'd say the Ryzen is a wiser choice (plus cheaper). It's also a pity that you can't undervolt that much the Intel, it may also be a case that Intel has fine tuned the processor in order to remain competitive against AMD

[@SF-li9kh]

The intel versions suspiciously have better configurations too. Better screen, better SSD, better RAM. Thus forcing the customers hand to pick Intel. BRIBES.

[@anonymouspokemon4623]

Eh, I don't know. I think Intel just gives the most trash out of their CPUs to reviewers, since they don't get money from it, why bother giving a good one? Also, my current laptop has Intel 2C/4T 22nm, and when I undervolt it -62mV, the temp doesn't go down (lol), but I get around 5-10% higher score in Geekbench. Maybe Jarrod should use Throttlestop instead of the built-in software to undervolt the CPU, he might be able to get better results.

The thing is, the H category is aimed at high-performance and gaming laptops, which will spent most of the time wired to the wall. The U category for ultrabooks is where portability is more important and battery life is strong selling point, and if I'm not mistaken AMD takes the lead there as well.

[@teddym2808]

The thing I really like about AMD cpus is the much higher base clock.. so you can disable turbo boost and basically have a workable cpu frequency to play games and do most work tasks, whilst keeping heat and noise way down. With intel you either have to have an unlocked processor to do it in XTU or hope that throttlestop will work with a locked cpu like the 11800H, which is also up to the laptop manufacturer. for example, apple completely locks their 9980HK in windows bootcamp and you absolutely can't adjust anything with the multipliers. All that said, I found with my 10980HK I could disable turbo and still play almost any game over 60 at ultra, so the 11th gen at 2.5 should be better cause it's a much faster cpu clock for clock anyway.. Although I am hoping with my coming 11900h asus that I can use throttlestop to land all cores at around 3.5ghz permanently with high performance enabled, which will suit all my tasks and be quiet and low temps.

[@paulpvhl1930]

An important metric for me: the difference in results at low and high power settings, as low power is important. The Ryzen showed much smaller differences compared to the Intel, pretty well obviating the need for higher power settings.

As depending on the system it is quite hard to cool amd as well as a 120W+ gpu in a shared load often lowering wattage on the CPU side to promote more GPU power in game scenario.

how in non shared workloads intel and amd 5900hx are still capable of performing beyond 45w.

What gives Intel the edge is higher single core performance and more L3 cache.

However, there are some cases (like Warzone) where you may see the CPU go higher than that to like 50W-60W but I only see those during load times honestly. Unless you're benchmarking or rendering something that is insanely CPU bound, no laptop CPU is going to consume 80W or 125W. Power needs to be given to the GPU as well. Intel is still a bit ahead in gaming performance though due to higher single core speeds and more L3 cache.

[@Jimster481]

Based on these sets of graphs; it shows that the Ryzen CPU cannot use so much power. I know you measured the same power but this is likely with the GPU and not just using the CPU. Since its pretty clear from the performance numbers that the 5800H is barely faster with 80W power limit vs 45W power limit. This is also what I experience on my Alienware M15 R5; the performance barely drops at all until you set the power limit under 30W. The chip only seems to use 32-36W while gaming so even setting a 40W power limit had a 0% difference on performance in gaming; however in benchmarks it does go down by a few % from 65W to 45W.... setting it to even 100W doesn't make a difference at all as the max power the chip seems to use is 72W and it doesn't seem to get any additional performance (under 1%) from this additional power.

[@thaibreuer3533]

Elsewise, Cezanne requires less power to the same amount of work as Tiger Lake away from the wall, not only allowing better battery life but also slower battery degradation.

Not exactly clear what that means, it might refer to the CPU power limit when the GPU is also active, like in a game, but that's often not actually listed on the specs, so maybe they are just copy pasting Intel's base spec or something.

The beauty of today's laptops is that they can legitimately do gaming, while not being insufferable to use for mundane daily tasks.

[@juzujuzu4555]

I would love to see how AMD would work with liquid metal, and Intel with standard thermal paste. On laptops with limited cooling the difference can actually be much bigger than on desktop computers, it also explains why Intel gains so much on higher TDP limits. Obviously it's not the only reason, but it's significant part of it. I don't get the AES test, as I don't know any workload that actually benefits from faster AES in any measurable way.

[@xmg_gg]

I assume that none of the CPU-focused tests in this review reached a thermal throttling point with the fan speeds that Jarrod used, hence adding more cooling onto the Ryzen at 80W would not have helped its performance. You can see this clearly in the "Power Draw from Wall" segment of the video: running at 80W Power Limit results in similar draw from the wall. Same power input = same thermal output for both machines. If the AMD CPU would have throttled due to a alleged lack of cooling, the power draw from the wall would have been reduced. But it didn't. Hence, cooling was already sufficient for a comparative review of the silicon itself. // Tom

[@elur6140]

exactly

[@juzujuzu4555]

@@xmg_gg Liquid metal allows the die itself be cooler as the thermal transfer is more efficient, thus it allows higher clocks even when not power limited on Ryzen. Sure the cooling is efficient enough. It's not causing throttling, but due to how Ryzen selects it's frequency, that should gain higher clocks. Though obviously the gains are small, and I'm not holding not having liquid metal against this.

[@xmg_gg]

@@juzujuzu4555 AFAIK Jarrod is testing these synthetic benchmarks with 100% constant fan speed at relatively low room temperatures. What you say about die temperature and frequency speeds might actually not apply in this controlled environment. But this might be good feedback for Jarrod to include frequency/temperature diagrams into future comparisons where you can see how these values develop over time in a CPU-bound stress test. Similar to how GamersNexus does it at the beginning of every CPU and GPU review. // Tom

How come going from 45w to 80w on the ryzen doesnt increase the performance that much?
