日本[Comparison] Intel Core i7-1255U vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600U – both processors offer something for the consumer
Last year was the year of AMD with their Ryzen 5000-series delivering both great performance and amazing efficiency. Regardless if you pick an H-series or a U-series CPU, good battery life was a part of the deal. However, in 2022, things look a bit different. Intel has upgraded big time, utilizing a hybrid architecture with their 12th Gen CPU family. Today we take one of the higher models inside the Alder Lake U-series range, the Core i7-1255U, and put it against one of the better budget U-series CPUs from last year, the Ryzen 5 5600U.
Today we are comparing the Intel Core i7-1255U against the AMD Ryzen 5 5600U.
