Intel: AMD Weak On Battery-Powered Laptop Performance - But DPTF On Linux Still Suck

Intel are scared of AMD aren't they ?
Actually owning a Renoir based laptop my experience does not match up with Intel's claims.
An afterthought....
Intel may have shot themselves in the foot here as one could conclude from the slides that Tiger Lake thrashes the battery rather than conserving it.Last edited by Slartifartblast; 23 November 2020, 05:34 PM.

Yes you can compare it to Renoir and potentially it has a slight edge on it in single thread performance..
Mainly due to the ~1GHz faster boost clock, which operates a single core in a very inefficient region..
Tiger Lake is a 4 Core CPU, Renoir is a 8 Core CPU with ~the same TDP. In raw throughput per Watt Renoir blows Tiger Lake out of the water.. Depends on what you need..
But IMHO both CPUs offer sufficient single core performance to do worktasks like office or web browsing. Where throughput is important, like graphics editing / video editing, multiple cores are supported in the critical code paths, so you would be better of with a 8 core CPU than a 4 core CPU..
However once we are in mass availability, Tiger Lake (Willow Lake) has to compete with Cezanne (Zen 3).. And that already adds a ~18-20% improvement in IPC + it runs on an improved 7nm Node, so Cezanne will outperform Tiger Lake..
Also keep in mind that Intel still has yield issues on the 10nm Node, so we won´t see massive chip availability anytime soon.Last edited by Spacefish; 23 November 2020, 01:27 PM.

There are isolated reports which could indicate that Intel is honest, e.g.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDLaptops/...with_ac_power/
but to me they look like a case of a BIOS bug rather than an actual widespread issue.

Try Hardware Unboxed , They put identical laptops, apart from the CPU, against eachother one Intel and one AMD in august this year.
