The ULV space has been getting more and more powerful, starting to catch up to the more powerful H-series processors. The innovation and improvement in the niche have allowed for thinner and smaller laptops that can pack as much performance as a desktop.

The new Tiger Lake and Zen 3-based ULV chips are just fantastic with their abundance of performance and low TDP, which don’t need a lot of cooling to be able to work properly. Today we are comparing the best of what AMD and Intel have in the ULV space, to see how they fare up against each other, and in which chip should you put your trust into being your next machine.

Conclusion

Overall, the Ryzen 7 5800U performed better in both of our benchmarks. However, the pricing of laptops with it is still fairly unknown so we can’t outright recommend it, especially if most of your work consists of 2D Rendering and image editing. For that specific task, the Core i7-1185G7 does wonders. We advise you to wait and see how laptops with the new Ryzen 7 processor are priced, so you can make a proper decision that is good for you, and you alone.
