The upcoming AMD Zen 3+ U-series is going to have some tough competition. Intel's P-core and E-core approach seems to be paying off particularly when it comes to multi-thread performance.

Don't take these benchmarks that at heart. This Yoga 9i 14 Gen 7 which I owned for a month had soft power limits to cap at 80 C whereas laptops like the Dell XPS 13 Plus can go up to 100 C no issue. After changing like 2 settings in Throttlestop I can set my Yoga 9i to get 12221 Cinebench R23 scores and Time Spy CPU scores of 10,300. This is one heck of a chad of a chip but thanks to Lenovo stock defaulting to 80 C instead of 100 C so many reviewers are not going to notice the potential it actually has. If you don't believe my benchmarks Google 2022 Yoga 9i 14 egpu and the first link is my build.
What about battery life and efficiency in general?
Oh.. that's right.
And then we talk about efficiency. RIP Intel
Intel proudly touted "performance on battery" as being an enormous upgrade from 11th gen. So I am interested to see R7-6800HS vs i7-1280P unplugged performance in a thin/light ultrabook. If battery life is overall terrible, that means at least the performance while using that much power should be decent, right?
And Allen, Intel P-series is a continuation of 11th Gen H35, it competes with Ryzen H35, not U-series.
Man is the article's author an absolute freaking imbecile... The Intel "P" series (28-35W) doesn't compete with AMD's "U" series parts (15W) but the "HS" ones (35W). AMD's "U" series will compete against Intel's "U" series you freaking idiot.... -_-
