Intel Core Ultra 7 268V trounces AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in new Geekbench listing

[Jack324]

I don't see any trouncing going on here. That Intel part beat the AMD part by less than 100 points at a scale of thousands. And then the multi-threaded score well that speaks for itself AMD won by a landslide.

More accurate title would have been; Intel part barely edges out AMD part in single thread performance, still trailing heavily in multi-threaded performance.

LunarLake will be made with the same process technology as Zen5, so it will be immediately clear where the architecture development team is more efficient. It will no longer be possible to write something off to different process technologies - now both are on their knees before TSMC...

The bad thing is that both companies are drifting towards soldered memory in the U series. Although this is more a question of price and its size. But Lunar Lake will not even have 64GB options, which immediately puts an end to them in serious professional tasks, compared to Zen4/5, where soldering 64GB and even 128GB is not a problem.

I do not know a single relevant serious software developer today who uses less than 64GB. 32GB is used today only by students - for training. 16/32 is for amateurs. And therefore Intel with its maximum 32GB of memory soldered directly into the SoC immediately finds itself out of luck in the professional segment of the market - no one will buy Lunar Lake there.

I personally use less on a regular basis, even rending photo realistic blender scenes and infographuc videos on after affects, a good workman makes do, and plus, half the deisng industry is working on macs with 32gb or less.

In reality These are designs for laptops and tablets, i guess assuming you be using desktops for hefty workloads.

I sort of agree a bit, I would rather move to a high end laptop, so here's so hoping 🙏 they announce a beefed up lunar lake model with chonky gpu and large ram for mobile workstations, otherwise AMD halo be your only option aside from a 3k mac.

I hope lunar lake is as good as it looks, because as a convertible junky, I want more options! Also, a passive cooled option is a bizarre omission (lunar is all between 17 and 30w) if they're after grabbing back the mobile segment....

I can see why intel is going bankrupt. Rather than investing in R&D, they are throwing away money to get scammy authors write scammy articles. Yeah, right, real trouncing happening here.

Passive cooling in a thin newfangled case, even 16-17" with 30W total platform consumption is a priori impossible - the components heat up too much, especially the SSD, Wi-Fi chip and power supply, even if you cover literally everything with radiators.

The  - weight and volume of the case play a decisive role - for the passive circuit. Well, there is nothing wrong with the active one, if a low-speed, almost silent, with a distance of 30-40 cm, cooler (<25dBA) is installed or synchronously working (without sound beating) in a pair.

Well, in 2024, even 32GB of RAM looks simply ridiculous in models priced over $1200-1300.

Yes, the increased amount of RAM additionally corrupts negligent software developers to make bad software - of which there are most on the planet, but for the professional segment, Lunar Lake is simply not interesting with a ridiculous 32GB max, not to mention the absolutely ridiculous 16GB...

In fact, Intel now has the best process technology on the planet, as does AMD, and soon we will find out what their development team is really capable of with such a process technology at TSMC. If they do not beat AMD in terms of performance per 1W and in a multi-threaded test, it will be a fiasco (and human capital is a key factor in any company), although the company is too big to simply go bankrupt right now. The agony will continue for another decade...

The moderator of this site is a cheap bastard who is simply taking revenge for the harsh truth of a person who is many times smarter than he is.

Deleting such truthful comments only proves his bastard nature, and since the management agrees with him in this - it means they are the same mentally.
