[SOLVED] Best CPU (performance/efficiency)?

[Manixo]

Hi,

I'm in the market for a new laptop, I've got my eyes on the Asus Zenbook 14 and Lenovo yoga slim 7.

But I can't decide which specifications to get. For me it's important to have performance yet a long lasting battery along with it.

These are the options:

• i7-1165G7 (67 Wh battery, 400-nits display) not available yet but should be soon [Asus Zenbook 14]
• Ryzen 7 4600U (60.7 Wh battery) [Lenovo Yoga Slim 7]

As far as I can find the performance is rather similar(?), but I don't know what their efficiency is like, some sites say the 1165G7 is more efficient than the 4600U and others say opposite. (1165G7 has a better iGPU so that's an advantage)
Anyone has experience with this, any idea what laptop will give me the best performance and battery life?

I believe the 2 will give you similar performance, and the yoga giving around 1-2 hours more battery life.
I believe the asus zenbook 14 is a better laptop overall though, with better build quality and such.

1-2 hours more on a smaller battery, so AMD is still more efficient?

And yeah, agreed on the zenbook. Heard the Lenovo's have some small issues.

Yes. Intel is using the much improved 10nm process, which is good, but it's still not up there with the ryzen 7nm.
