While Alder Lake was the finishing blow, Tiger Lake started Intel’s resurgence. The 11th Gen 45W CPUs were very underrated last year and still are. While they aren’t as efficient as AMD’s offerings, they could still perform very well when paired with capable cooling.

In 2022, AMD has been on the back foot, with the Ryzen 5 6600H not being up to stuff when it comes to competing with Alder Lake. Since the AMD CPU is a new arrival in our office, we want to put it against the Core i5-11400H to see if the new chip is worth spending a premium on a new laptop.

Today we’re comparing the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H against the Intel Core i5-11400H.

Here is our Top Laptop CPU Ranking, which has the best laptop CPUs in a list, based on performance.

Conclusion

Intel has kept its superiority in 2D Rendering, resulting in better Photoshop performance. However, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H is still more powerful in 3D Rendering. Both laptops are very good for gaming, especially when paired with a good GPU. If you want to get into creator work, you might want to consider an Intel CPU, since the integrated graphics inside are very good for productivity and video rendering. It can also work in tandem with a dedicated graphics card, speeding up all of your work.
