Why are Intel comparing Comet Lake-H to an arbitrary "3 year-old PC" instead of laptops with AMD's 4000 APU -H series? We all know the answer but even so, some among the many disclaimers Intel listed should stretch Comet Lake-H's performance quite higher than its actual performance, and thus artificially increase its performance over a "3 yo PC".
Legal disclaimer #3 alone is enough to blow up performance, since "optimized for performance only on Intel processors" strongly suggests usage of aggressive compiler flags only on the newer processors (the "3 year old PC" is as vague and arbitrary as it can possibly get, so there's nothing to suggest the same compiler flags were employed). Intel have never shied away from dirty tricks like the above, and now that AMD surpassed them in performance even in the laptop market my educated guess is that they will try to conjure up even more creative BS.
" now that AMD surpassed them in performance even in the laptop market " not according to gondalf and Deicidium369 in the review of the amd 4k laptop here, according to them, intel is still king and isnt losing anything, or in any tests.
Hello! I am looking for a laptop with a powerful processor (I plan to do web development). I choose between these processors https://vsrank.com/en/intel-core-i7-7700hq-vs-inte... Is it worth overpaying for Intel Core i7-10750H?
