With the economy plummeting into a recession... AMD's lead may never amount to anything. And with an entire world working remotely, Laptops are selling like crazy. The best mobile designs all use Intel processors, and I'm never buying a laptop from ASUS again... NEVER. Their support was pi$$-poor. TOTAL GARBAGE COMPANY.
I don't deal with support very often, but from my experiences Dell has pretty good support...but not the best stuff, the best thin and lights are Lenovo's and the best gaming/workstation solutions are Asus's and Razer's.
Even if more technical readers understand that this Comet-Lake mobile launch with "up to 5.3Ghz turbo" is just a slight refresh, a lot of laptop buyers just buy based on numbers blasted at them. So if the speed says "5.3Ghz!!!" , then they can be convinced to buy it just by seeing a bigger number. Basically, Intel has done what it needs to do to continue selling on mobile.
More technical buyers might understand that Ryzen 4000 APU-based laptops could give them great performance at lower power usage, but often for the average buyer, bigger numbers win.
Another April Fool's joke from Intel...;) Who cares about "up to 5.3Ghz" if a competitor's CPU running less MHz processes data 20% faster using less power? Nobody, hopefully. Intel is now burning through its stored up market "good will" at a prodigious rate.
this is just intels usual trick of a hero product coveting all the top spots in the review because the headline number is great dig a little deeper and the gloss comes off the sows ear am looking forward to the AMD reviews the ones already out show very positive numbers and make this intel hovercraft look old and outdated
