From Intel's efforts to reclaim the market from AMD, it is clear that AMD has come a long way in the last two years and has thrown Intel into a quandary.

hard call here, but I look at actual numbers, and it looks like intel wins here overall.

I like AMD right now since it's not overheating like it used to. Moreover, it helped with some features in predator nitro 5 so it feels like the AMD-like intel, I have already tried to use this AMD for around 6 to 9 hours non-stop for games, youtube, etc... it still gives the best performance and still working good. Also not too hot.

Agreed with you, Jaden. AMD is definitely more stable. No performance degradation too, on my Nitro 5 with R5 4600H+ 1650Ti. Forza Horizon 4 Max @1080p + OBS ScreenRecording @720p on the background. Thermal stays at around 85°C for about 7 hours straight.

Tested both 17 January 2022 06:39
While there are no significant differences in testing between both for day to day task, I found the i7 is more stable in long term gaming (6+ hours) the R7 dropped 4-11 fps across various games over the span of 6 hours And this was done with the power supply plugged in for both laptops, (16 GB/ Rtx 3060 6 GB , 1TB SSD)

Which would you recommend if I can get the Ryzen 7 on an Acer nitro for 1299 euros but the i7 11800H version of the same laptop for 1499 euros?

Sean, I'll say the i7 is worth the few more bucks since it's pretty reliable, my old Dell with i7 7700hq still works at 90% efficiency IMO Ryzen 7 is by no means inferior and comes with Vega gfx, it will all come down to your own budget and requirements Take my advice, wait a few more months and grab the 12th gen i7 it's already beating M1 Max so you can imagine how powerful it is.

Tested both, just take the RTX 3070 for 1599 and forget about the CPU difference :P

Sean, I’d get the AMD because for the small difference it’s not worth the extra euros and AMD is overtaking intel recently so it will be better to upgrade.

Tested both, Thanks for the reply I can get the i7 11800h or the AMD Ryzen 7 5800h model Acer nitro 5 same price. Think I'll go with that but the i7 12th generation is just a little beyond my means sadly

Casper, I can get the identical set up Acer nitro 5 with an RTX 3060 and either the Ryzen 7 5800h or i7 11800h for 1199 euros. I'm not one to game more than an hour to two hours so I'm not sure the thermal issues will affect me much. It seems to be more on 4 or more hours of continuous gaming sessions and to be honest, I'm quite happy going on medium settings too so doubt the heating will be a problem. Thanks though. If there was a saving on the Ryzen 7 I'd go with it but the price is the same.
