This looks to be Intel paid article.
*apparently better battery life with shintel"
Explain that. For me it sounds the usual Intel fake news.
Also these Intel CPUs will come late this year, Renoir version are already in the selfs.
I think it's possible that the Intel version would have a longer battery life than the AMD version.
Two reasons:
- Lately Intel variants get larger battery than the AMD versions. ie. 61 Wh vs ~50 Wh.
- It's common that the Intel variants have LPDDR4x compared to the regular DDR4 on AMD versions.
So, finally, the Intel chip will be 10 nm, instead of 14 nm. They may actually have longer battery life.
It doesn't. I have the Yoga Slim 7 with AMD 4800u (8c/16t), with a 60wh battery.
I am easily getting 10+ hrs of battery (probably more, but i havent measured it tbh) on balanced/intelligent cooling mode, so I bet its even more if you switch to economy.
Performance wise, this little beast is on par with a desktop 2600 on balanced mode, and +30% (!) on performance mode (~1700 on cb15, ~1500 for sustained loads).
Those AMD 4xxx are wonderful little beasts, Intel really needs to come up with something quickly.
