[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS vs Intel Core i7-12650H – Both are better in their respective use-cases
While Intel has their P-series processors for when they need to have thinner and lighter laptops perform well, they also have some of their H-series with a slightly lower core count, but still the same 45W TDP. So far there are the Core i5-12450H and Core i7-12650H, which have shown good performance in smaller devices like the TUF Dash F15 and the Swift 3 from ASUS and Acer, respectively. Like it or not, these laptops are competing directly against the HS-series from AMD, which is offered inside many of the same form factor devices.
Today we’re comparing the latest HS-series chip to come out of AMD’s factory, the Ryzen 7 7735HS against the Core i7-12650H, to see which comes out on top and what to look for when buying your next laptop.
