A Dynabook "Portable PC" powered by the Intel Raptor Lake Core i7-1370P has surfaced on Geekbench. The Core i7-1370P offers a 200 MHz higher boost clock compared to the Core i7-1280P, but the benchmark results do not show any appreciable increase in single or multi-core performance yet.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i7-1370P-spotted-on-Geekbench-200-MHz-higher-boost-than-Core-i7-1280P-but-no-perceivable-performance-uplift.671070.0.html
The key test for CPU manufacturers at the present is efficiency not power.
The limiting factors in laptop design right now are cooling solutions and battery duration. Few users need more raw power but they do need more battery life, less throttling and less fan noise.
This is a terrible update, frankly they didn't even make an effort. AMD is in the box seat for mobile this gen, Phoenix and Dragon Range will be very good and there may even be v-cache models late in 2023.
Intel embarrassed itself in 2022 by failing to convert its processes to 3nm TSMC and canceling a massive priority order for TSMC for the whole of 2023. Thus, Intel remains a technology loser in IT in 2023, benefiting only from higher consumption and reduced battery life from the battery in laptops, plus there is always increased noise compared to the same models on AMD, even if they are a little slower with less consumption. AMD also did nothing outstanding in the last year in terms of developing a new architecture - in 2022 there was no powerful jump in performance in impulsed mode, just as there was no in multi-threaded mode, so they completely lost to Intel in pure performance without taking into account consumption. It will be approximately the same in 2023. At the same time, AMD has always lost to Intel in terms of various chips built into the SoC. And the AMD memory controller is traditionally slower than Intel in laptops by 35-40% at least. Plus their H series only has 8 lanes for the discrete video chip, as opposed to 16 for Intel's H series.
Well, since Intel has its own factories, it quietly collects all the profits from the market, sharply taking back AMD's market share in 2022, which had previously been gradually going to AMD. So with such a trend, the Intel gasket from the US antimonopolists in the form of AMD is again returning to its usual place ...
In fact, now AMD can only get buyers with a full set of features even in cheap laptops - such as the obligatory USB40 port, full-fledged HDMI 2.1 at 48Gbps and halved in Zen4 DP2.0 (40Gbps), plus quiet operation of laptops for average load all cores. Otherwise, a laptop with AMD for the money close to Intel will not be sold to manufacturers now and you will have to make an increasing discount. What is happening now in practice.
