What this means is that not all laptops are created equally and if you’re looking for a computer capable to maximize the performance of these CPUs, you should look into reviews for details on the power settings and how each product fares in demanding loads and games, based on what you’re looking for.īefore we get to talk about some benchmarks and performance numbers on our TUF Gaming samples, I should also add that the fact that Intel is built on a 10 nm lithography and AMD on a 7 nm can be a little misleading, and that’s because you cannot directly compare the technologies used by Intel and TSMC (which makes the AMD processors).

The more capable the design and thermal module are, the higher power these processors can run at in sustained loads, and thus the higher the performance they can deliver on. In fact, both these processors run at higher than default TDPs in most modern laptops, and are highly dependant on the power settings applied by each manufacturer, which on their own depend on the internal VRM design of each motherboard and the thermal module that the OEMs opted for. The i7 has on paper a lower Base Clock, but that’s not important, as in real-use frequencies are always influenced by Turbo Boost.

So as mentioned already, both these chips are 8C/16T and capable of reaching similar frequencies. Intel Core i7-11800H – Tiger Lake 11th gen
