Intel core ultra 285h on the top September 15, 2025 at 02:32 AM
285h's ipgu can destroy 890m igpu. Even 140v is better than 890m.

its depend on your choice . For maximum raw single-core performance: The Intel Core Ultra 9 285H is the better option. This can benefit tasks like office work, web browsing, and some creative applications. For the best AI capabilities: The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the clear winner, with a much more powerful NPU that meets the requirements for Copilot+ PCs. This is important if you plan to use AI-intensive features. For gaming on a laptop with a dedicated GPU: The difference between the two CPUs is negligible, and other factors like the GPU, cooling solution, and display are more important. For general use and productivity: The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 offers a better balance of efficiency, overall performance, and AI features, especially for thinner and lighter laptops where battery life is a priority. For gaming on a thin-and-light laptop with integrated graphics: The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 has a slight edge due to its more powerful integrated GPU, the Radeon 890M

for the price gettting intel 285h is 280$ less then hx 370 so it is worth it. https://www.lenovo.com/in/en/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=83JMCTO1WWIN1 https://in.store.asus.com/ai-powered-light-weight-laptop-asus-zenbook-s16-um5606ka.html

I'd give the edge to Intel Ultra 9 285H CPU. Better single core CPU performance, more efficient per watt, and better for photography (for those that hate Macbooks). For gaming, even light gamers, AMD pulls out ahead with the better iGPU.

Why 5 nm in 2025? AMD is obviously better but the only issue is only few OEMs make laptops with AMD Chips. Despite being 6 months older chip it is still outperforming fairly new chip by Intel. What a joke.
