Conclusion

Alder Lake is looking very strong at the moment, and even if Zen 4 comes into the mobile world to take the throne away, Team Red would then have to worry about Raptor Lake, which is steadily arriving. One area where AMD still has the advantage is efficiency, with its 45W+ CPUs offering amazing battery life.
