1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:08,400
i have got not one but two of the same laptop here on the table

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,519
it all comes down to this Intel

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,839
versus AMD comparing them in laptops has become

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,160
practically impossible over the last couple of years because nobody makes an

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,119
identical machine where only the CPU is

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:29,119
different excuse me did i say nobody

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,239
the xmg core 15 claims to give

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:34,960
absolutely equal treatment to both sides

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:38,480
so then with everything else the same who will be victorious

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,160
i don't know all i know is that the teleprompter

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,920
appears to have gained sentience and is commanding me to tell you about our

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,320
sponsor instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and

13
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:54,879
block badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device with glasswire use offer

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:58,600
code Linus to get 25 off glasswire at the link down below

15
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:11,439
with the notable exception of the motherboard chipset and storage don't

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:17,600
worry we'll get to that every other part of these two systems is exactly alike

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:21,520
same rtx 3060 GPU same 62 watt hour

18
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:24,000
battery and same 1920 by 1080 165 hertz

19
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:29,280
ips display this gives us something that is really rare for mobile devices an

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:36,079
opportunity to run a truly apples to apples comparison between teen blue and

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,400
team red cpus and not just in terms of

22
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:43,680
CPU performance benchmarks that would make my job easy but it wouldn't give us

23
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:49,439
the full picture so on your right Intel inside the brand spanking new core i7

24
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:52,000
11800h weighing in at 21.88 us dollars

25
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:58,000
and on your left is AMD's mobile bread and butter the ryzen 7 5800h and right

26
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:02,479
out of the gate AMD's 5800h is showing a big part of what's made it such an

27
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:08,000
enthusiast darling even though it also has 8 cores and 16 threads and boosts

28
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:12,480
just 0.2 gigahertz lower it ends up priced almost 100 us dollars below its

29
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:15,680
Intel competition but there is more here than meets the

30
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:20,160
eye take the exterior for instance we have

31
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:25,040
definitely got the same chassis and therefore the same port arrangement but

32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,959
that doesn't mean the i o is exactly the same

33
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:34,400
this is a usb type-c port this is a Thunderbolt 4 port a feature

34
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,080
that ranks pretty high on my list of nice to haves in a laptop especially at

35
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,120
this kind of price now to be clear usb-c can be used as a

36
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,800
single cable docking solution running your display network and peripherals not

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:53,200
to mention power but Thunderbolt just plain does it better with more bandwidth

38
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:58,319
for displays and storage daisy chain support and compatibility of course with

39
00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:03,040
pesky Thunderbolt only peripherals now Thunderbolt is an Intel technology

40
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:07,840
so while some desktop AMD motherboards do have it courtesy of an onboard Intel

41
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:12,159
chip it hasn't shown up in any AMD laptops as far as i'm aware but that

42
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,400
should change with rumors indicating that Thunderbolt compatibility will show

43
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:22,159
up in the form of usb4 ports on ryzen 6000 series chips codename warhol in

44
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:26,959
2022-ish but enough about that let's talk performance

45
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:29,440
surprisingly Intel won the vast majority

46
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:33,760
of our tests blender classroom runs saw anywhere between 8 and 30 seconds of

47
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:38,080
improvement on repeat tests 3d mark reported a 4.1 percent CPU score

48
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,799
improvement in time spy it was more of the same when it came to gaming the 11

49
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,440
808 showed a mild lead across the board shadow of the tomb raider rainbow six

50
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:51,200
siege and f1 2020 all with improvements of up to 15

51
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:56,640
over AMD but there's a catch power it's hard to say

52
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:02,239
exactly which factors contribute the most here but in spite of both cpus

53
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,360
having default tdps of 45 watts our

54
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:07,439
ryzen CPU settled in at around 60 watts

55
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:12,560
with our Intel chip self-reporting power consumption as high as 100 watts and

56
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,439
settling in around 80 watts during extended workloads

57
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:21,440
wow i mean on the desktop 20 watts is like

58
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:27,680
having some more RGB in your case but on mobile pc mark's modern office battery

59
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,440
test gave AMD a 31 edge over Intel at

60
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:34,720
the same screen brightness that's a big deal ask any ev owner how

61
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:39,280
they'd feel about thirty percent more range versus an extra five to fifteen

62
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,360
percent more power they're going to take the thirty percent every time

63
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,800
but Intel's heavier power draw comes from more than just turboing up their

64
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,840
cores so aggressively the core i7 11800h

65
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,960
has support for pci express gen 4 which

66
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:56,880
might feel a bit overkill for a laptop

67
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,120
but it gives manufacturers an opportunity to nearly double the

68
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:06,720
sequential read and write performance of their system drive for just the 60

69
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:12,960
difference between a samsung 980 pro and the 970 evo plus that xpg paired with

70
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:15,360
AMD's ryzen 7 5800h now sequential io

71
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:20,240
isn't the be-all and end-all in pc mark's storage test the gap does begin

72
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:24,000
to narrow and we even found when we ran a test a little over a year ago that no

73
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:31,520
one on our team could tell the difference between a low end and a high-end SSD doing everyday things like

74
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,840
loading games and editing 4k videos so

75
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:39,360
outside of some very specific workloads like frequent large data ingests or big

76
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:42,000
number crunching i suspect most of you won't be able to tell

77
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:48,320
but that pci express advantage extends past

78
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,280
the storage to the GPU as well and while

79
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:56,319
these rtx 3060s are capable of running pci express gen 4 with up to 16 lanes

80
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:01,759
which our Intel system is fully utilizing thanks to its four additional

81
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,960
PCIe lanes our AMD system is connected

82
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:07,840
at just one quarter that speed with only

83
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,479
8 gen 3 lanes but then

84
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:14,800
we did already talk about gaming performance didn't we and we know then

85
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:19,759
that AMD's compromises here appear to have been wise ones at least that's true

86
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:24,479
on a machine running an rtx 3060 rather than a 37d or a 3080. boiling it all

87
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:31,680
down then the Intel machine wins on performance and the AMD machine wins on

88
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:31,680
battery life so what do you choose

89
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,600
well what i i can't i can't tell you i already gave you all the numbers and i

90
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,440
explained why they're such from here it's your call if you've got the extra

91
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:47,440
benjamin to spend and you want balls for the wall performance the Intel version

92
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:51,919
of the core 15 looks great it's got Thunderbolt pci express gen 4 storage

93
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:56,319
however small the benefit might be and you might have an easier time sourcing

94
00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,479
it at the moment but if battery life is what you're after then

95
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,440
i'd take the AMD if you're wondering why AMD laptops tend to be a better value i

96
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:10,080
guess we've finally got the answer just make sure that you take that extra cash

97
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:12,560
and spend it over at lttstore.com

98

thanks for watching bio actually hold on if you're looking for another video to

109
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:02,639
watch check out the recent one on how laptop manufacturers are slowing down

110
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:04,800
your pc by using higher density RAM it

111
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:09,120
makes even more of a difference than AMD versus Intel which is a little awkward
