[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 6800H vs Intel Core i7-12700H – Intel hits like Will Smith
The matchup that will lay the stage for the whole year of 2022, we finally have a Zen 3+ CPU going against an Alder Lake H CPU.
The brand new Ryzen 7 6800H is a highly coveted chip, not only because of the improved architecture, which is set to improve both performance and battery life but also because the new 6000H-series gets the RDNA 2 mobile iGPUs, which have a goal to bring iGPU gaming to new standards.
On the other side is a very innovative chip, as the Core i7-12700H treads new terrain with its hybrid architecture, setting a new trend in mainstream desktops and laptops. Which will come out on top, read on below.
Today we are comparing the Ryzen 7 6800H against the Core i7-12700H

CPU benchmarks
The Zen 3+ chip makes minimal gains in both tests but still falls short against the behemoth that the i7-12700H is. The Intel CPU scores 12% higher in Cinebench 20 and is nearly a second quicker in Photoshop.
Resultaten är från Cinebench R23 CPU-testet (ju högre poäng, desto bättre)
Resultaten är från vårt Photoshop-jämförelsetest (ju lägre poäng, desto bättre).
Conclusion
If you were looking for performance gains with Zen 3+, you’ll probably be disappointed. However, don’t let this dissuade you from the fact that Intel has created a monstrosity with cores and threads for days. One area where we may see the Ryzen CPU performs better is with its iGPU, but it’s often unheard of for a high TDP laptop CPU to not have a dedicated GPU, which will most likely outshine any integrated offering.
