Self reported benchmarks are up to 79% faster, bravo.

ignoring the % results (as always take 1st party w/ pinch of salt) the power efficiency is a solid point given in many places electricity prices are rising a lot.

Intel seems to be really big on boasting what its CPUs will do at some time in the future--it's the present tense that always seems a problem for them, I've noticed...😉

I can completely believe it since the chosen AMD processor had specific instructions the Intel processor did not. However, why were the full details not shared, Mark Tyson? I see on one side "SEE ENDNOTE PHX-59", and that is not present in the article. It is also not present anywhere on AMD's website, and Microsoft Copilot cannot find any reference to PHX-59. Presumably it lists the exact systems which were tested and could easily explain the results. Also, it says that AMD shared information with TomsHardware and does not give a source.

Seeing as how this information isn't reported in any other publication, either reputable or disreputable, this sounds like either a paid advertisement by AMD, or information unauthorized for release at this time. If it were a general or press release it would be across the net by now, and would carry source citations.

this is endnotes found from r/hardware in a thread about this exact article. (google search is helpful for this stuff if you know how to use it to filter out the trash results)

"Testing as of February 2023"
"Market price retrieved 3/4/2023"
"Ryzen 7 7840U 15w TDP"

Intel Core Ultra 7 155H released in Q4 2023.

Ryzen 7 7840U has a 15-30w TDP, default 28w, 30w when used in the laptop specified, which was reviewed by TomsHardware in December 2023 and cost $1239.99

The base Pavilion Plus 14 comes with a Ryzen 5 7540U processor (Radeon 740M Graphics), 16GB of LPDDR5 memory, a 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD, a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS display, and a Wi-Fi 6/Bluetooth 5.3 combo card for $849. Upgrading to a 120Hz 2560 x 1600 IPS display adds $80 to the price while opting for a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD adds $20.

Our review unit came with the Ryzen 7 7840U processor (Radeon 780M Graphics), 16GB of LPDDR5 memory, a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, a 14-inch 2800 x 1800 OLED display, and a Wi-Fi 6E/Bluetooth 5.3 combo card for $1,239.

So if AMD just didn't adjust the date to 2024, they are comparing a $1240 laptop to a $1000 Acer laptop (current price on Acer's website), 24% higher price for 14% and 17% faster tokens per second.

That makes this "article" even more suspect that -none- of this was mentioned. I'd say this "article" should be pulled or, at the least, amended with this information so it doesn't look like a paid AMD advertisement.

Of Course AMD has NEVER done that. You know.. with the Bulldozer Processor...
