[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 6800U vs Intel Core i7-1280P – The Intel CPU looks really good
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.
