The Alder Lake P-series has been instrumental to Intel’s success in the CPU market, presenting powerful processors for thin & light laptops that could perform well and keep battery life at good levels.

This is where AMD’s answer comes in, with the new Ryzen 6000U-series, which also has a base TDP from 15 to 28W, making them a pretty good match against both the P-series and the U-series from Intel. Today we have the Ryzen 7 6800U, the top dog of the 6000U-series, going against the Core i7-1280P.

Conclusion

Intel is on top of the world in 2022, as the huge increase in core and thread count with all of their CPUs really does bring the fight to AMD, which sits on the ropes and will try to recover and punch back in 2023 and beyond. The Core i7-1280P brings power, while also providing good battery life. In fact, it can even outperform the bigger H-series Ryzen CPUs or the 11th Gen Intel offerings.
