TFLOPS aren't the best representative for GPU performance, can you please update with 3D Mark results?

I like TFLOPs as a measure of GPU raw unrefined power. Efficient use of that power can be seen in the 3D Mark and real world results.

This is more power-efficient than Ryzen, but Intel will add threads to maximize multi-core performance and slightly reduce single-core. Let's wait for the next rumor.

INTEL copied ARM CPUs: - single thread cores - big L2 cache Also 9 288V is horrible +76% TDP for 15% performance over 7 258V (We will see 7 268V (2% over 7 258V) only in Dell & HP overpriced laptops) Cinebench 2024 Multi core: AI 9 HX 370 (35W) 1040 = 9 185H (65W) 1041 Let's say 9 288V will have same score at 33W INTEL won due to soldered ram in soc and higher speed. If AMD will release AI 9 HX X3D on 3nm, 9 288V will be irrelevant.

KingDStefan, I think you are right, Ryzen seems to be very promising. And price always lower than Intel makes it value for money.

Barm, Yes, AMD has a great value. In most cases AMD 9 is cheaper than Intel 7 on same laptop.

I did more searches on internet on Cinebench 2024 Multi-Core AI 9 HX 370: 9 288V: -15W: 621 -15W: 271 -20W: 760 -20W: 438 -28W: 927 -28W: 637 Also you can boost your FPS by solid 50% on 890M with Fluid Motion Frames 2

Lunar Lake is actually less power efficient than the Ryzen Zen 5 mobile.

It is a bit of a tradeoff, so I cannot say one is better than the other. - Intel for battery life, RAM speed, photo editing, and iGPU. Slightly better for creators and traveling consultants/sales reps. - AMD for multi-core performance and more compatibility for gaming drivers. Better for the average office worker that wants to game on the side. Also, excellent for programmers.
