WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.400 i have got not one but two of the same laptop here on the table 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:11.519 it all comes down to this Intel 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.839 versus AMD comparing them in laptops has become 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:22.160 practically impossible over the last couple of years because nobody makes an 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.119 identical machine where only the CPU is 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:29.119 different excuse me did i say nobody 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.239 the xmg core 15 claims to give 00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:34.960 absolutely equal treatment to both sides 00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:38.480 so then with everything else the same who will be victorious 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.160 i don't know all i know is that the teleprompter 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.920 appears to have gained sentience and is commanding me to tell you about our 00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:50.320 sponsor instantly see your current and past network activity detect malware and 00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:54.879 block badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device with glasswire use offer 00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:58.600 code Linus to get 25 off glasswire at the link down below 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.439 with the notable exception of the motherboard chipset and storage don't 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:17.600 worry we'll get to that every other part of these two systems is exactly alike 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:21.520 same rtx 3060 GPU same 62 watt hour 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:24.000 battery and same 1920 by 1080 165 hertz 00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:29.280 ips display this gives us something that is really rare for mobile devices an 00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:36.079 opportunity to run a truly apples to apples comparison between teen blue and 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:38.400 team red cpus and not just in terms of 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:43.680 CPU performance benchmarks that would make my job easy but it wouldn't give us 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:49.439 the full picture so on your right Intel inside the brand spanking new core i7 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:52.000 11800h weighing in at 21.88 us dollars 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 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 00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:08.000 enthusiast darling even though it also has 8 cores and 16 threads and boosts 00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:12.480 just 0.2 gigahertz lower it ends up priced almost 100 us dollars below its 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.680 Intel competition but there is more here than meets the 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.160 eye take the exterior for instance we have 00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:25.040 definitely got the same chassis and therefore the same port arrangement but 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.959 that doesn't mean the i o is exactly the same 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:34.400 this is a usb type-c port this is a Thunderbolt 4 port a feature 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:38.080 that ranks pretty high on my list of nice to haves in a laptop especially at 00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:43.120 this kind of price now to be clear usb-c can be used as a 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:48.800 single cable docking solution running your display network and peripherals not 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.200 to mention power but Thunderbolt just plain does it better with more bandwidth 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:58.319 for displays and storage daisy chain support and compatibility of course with 00:02:55.519 --> 00:03:03.040 pesky Thunderbolt only peripherals now Thunderbolt is an Intel technology 00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:07.840 so while some desktop AMD motherboards do have it courtesy of an onboard Intel 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 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.400 should change with rumors indicating that Thunderbolt compatibility will show 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:22.159 up in the form of usb4 ports on ryzen 6000 series chips codename warhol in 00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:26.959 2022-ish but enough about that let's talk performance 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:29.440 surprisingly Intel won the vast majority 00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:33.760 of our tests blender classroom runs saw anywhere between 8 and 30 seconds of 00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:38.080 improvement on repeat tests 3d mark reported a 4.1 percent CPU score 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 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:47.440 808 showed a mild lead across the board shadow of the tomb raider rainbow six 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:51.200 siege and f1 2020 all with improvements of up to 15 00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:56.640 over AMD but there's a catch power it's hard to say 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:02.239 exactly which factors contribute the most here but in spite of both cpus 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:05.360 having default tdps of 45 watts our 00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:07.439 ryzen CPU settled in at around 60 watts 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:12.560 with our Intel chip self-reporting power consumption as high as 100 watts and 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.439 settling in around 80 watts during extended workloads 00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:21.440 wow i mean on the desktop 20 watts is like 00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:27.680 having some more RGB in your case but on mobile pc mark's modern office battery 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.440 test gave AMD a 31 edge over Intel at 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:34.720 the same screen brightness that's a big deal ask any ev owner how 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:39.280 they'd feel about thirty percent more range versus an extra five to fifteen 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:43.360 percent more power they're going to take the thirty percent every time 00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:48.800 but Intel's heavier power draw comes from more than just turboing up their 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:51.840 cores so aggressively the core i7 11800h 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.960 has support for pci express gen 4 which 00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:56.880 might feel a bit overkill for a laptop 00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:01.120 but it gives manufacturers an opportunity to nearly double the 00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:06.720 sequential read and write performance of their system drive for just the 60 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:12.960 difference between a samsung 980 pro and the 970 evo plus that xpg paired with 00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:15.360 AMD's ryzen 7 5800h now sequential io 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 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 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 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.840 loading games and editing 4k videos so 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:39.360 outside of some very specific workloads like frequent large data ingests or big 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:42.000 number crunching i suspect most of you won't be able to tell 00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:48.320 but that pci express advantage extends past 00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:51.280 the storage to the GPU as well and while 00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:56.319 these rtx 3060s are capable of running pci express gen 4 with up to 16 lanes 00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:01.759 which our Intel system is fully utilizing thanks to its four additional 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:04.960 PCIe lanes our AMD system is connected 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:07.840 at just one quarter that speed with only 00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:10.479 8 gen 3 lanes but then 00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:14.800 we did already talk about gaming performance didn't we and we know then 00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:19.759 that AMD's compromises here appear to have been wise ones at least that's true 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 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:31.680 down then the Intel machine wins on performance and the AMD machine wins on 00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:31.680 battery life so what do you choose 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 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 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:47.440 benjamin to spend and you want balls for the wall performance the Intel version 00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:51.919 of the core 15 looks great it's got Thunderbolt pci express gen 4 storage 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:56.319 however small the benefit might be and you might have an easier time sourcing 00:06:53.520 --> 00:07:00.479 it at the moment but if battery life is what you're after then 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 00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:10.080 guess we've finally got the answer just make sure that you take that extra cash 00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:12.560 and spend it over at lttstore.com 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:16.479 oh or with our sponsor freshbooks is easy to use accounting software designed

00:08:09.120 makes even more of a difference than AMD versus Intel which is a little awkward
