Both the Core i7-12650H and the Ryzen 7 6800HS are designed for thinner notebooks that still want to keep their performance on a high level, being found in laptops like the ASUS TUF Dash F15 and the Zephyrus G-series. Intel obviously had the better 2022, but AMD is still able to strike back in the low-wattage segments, with better efficiency and still good performance.

Today we are comparing the Intel Core i7-12650H against the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS.

Conclusion

It gets pretty clear that once we enter lower TDPs, AMD really can claw back some victories against Intel, including once we drop down to the ULV segment. However, the Core i7-12650H really only comes with 10 cores whereas powerful P-series CPUs like the Core i7-1280P and even the Core i5-12500H have 14 and 12 cores, respectively, bringing a bigger punch and being able to put many of AMD’s 6000-series CPUs to rest.
