[Comparison] Intel Core i7-1255U vs AMD Ryzen 7 5825U – a good showing from AMD

While the Ryzen 6000U-series is somewhere out there waiting for its time to shine, Alder Lake is going strong, with the U-series, P-series, and H-series going strong and dominating the market.

What AMD has to answer are three 5000U-series CPUs that have been redesigned for a smaller 6nm node, which should mean a better performing and more efficient architecture. Today we are comparing the peak of Alder Lake’s U-series and the Ryzen 5000U-series.
