so we're gonna get a little nerdy a
little sweaty today because intel and
amd announced their new laptop chips for
2022 intel introduced the 12th gen aldo
lake mobile cpus and amd has their new
6000 series but the big question i'm
seeing in the comments section of my
videos is do you go with intel or amd in
2022 honestly i'd be lying if i told you
to go with one over the other since no
one has been able to compare them yet
but based on the manufacturer's claims
we can make some assumptions on which
companies offer the better processor
first we need to start with intel
because their lineup this year is a bit
confusing the h-series processors will
still be intel's top performing mobile
gpus the ones you find in gaming laptops
the core i9 includes six performance
cores and eight efficiency cores for a
total of 14 cores or 20 threads the i7
will have the same amount of cores as
the i9 but a lower clock speed and the
i5 chips will have four performance
cores and 8 efficiency cores the new
addition is the p series and this sits
between the h and u series think of the
p series as a reduced power and max
turbo power of the h series running at
28 watts instead of 45
the u series is still around and will be
in most thin and light laptops like the
hp envy or dell xps 13 and that will
continue to run at 15 watts amd's lineup
is easier to understand and the way it
works is identical to the previous year
it will still be running off of the zen
3 platform but slightly modified to be
zen 3 plus and instead of running on a 7
nanometer architecture it will run on 6.
there's no p series with amd but the
series has a lower 35 watt hs option and
the u series can run anywhere between 15
and 28 watts in order to keep
competitive with intel's offering intel
will probably have the better gaming
processor mixing and matching
performance cores with efficiency cores
if their new elderlake mobile cpus work
in the same way as their desktop
versions expect one of the biggest jumps
in the intel lineup we've seen in years
in fact some of these performance charts
they showed offer massive performance
gains compared to previous generations
amd on the other hand is less confusing
the best h and u series chips are still
rocking 8 cores and 16 threads and
there's no efficiency cores to confuse
things amd says there's their 6800u cpu
will only be about 10 faster in
cinebench r23 than last year's 5800u
however offer twice the 1080p gaming
performance since this is due to the new
integrated rda2 graphics cores which
offers a massive leap in gpu performance
according to amd up to three times
faster than the iris xe found in intel's
11th gen ultrabooks and faster than
nvidia's mx450 dedicated gpu both the
amd and intel h-series processors can
boost up to 5 gigahertz but the question
becomes which one can stay higher longer
and will intel's efficiency cores
perform just as good as their desktop
versions either way intel is claiming a
28 boost in performance compared to 11
gen laptops which is bonkers because 11
gen intel was technically faster than
amd's 5000 series for gaming at least at
1080p i truly think intel will have the
faster cpu this year but at the expense
of a hotter chip and worse battery life
amd moving to a six nanometer
architecture will further improve
battery life and make it easier for
vendors to keep the internal components
cool the good news though is that amd
finally brought pcie gen4 to its mobile
laptop something intel already had last
year with their 11th gen amd offers the
same amount of pcie lanes to the gpu
which is a four for another nvme sd plus
another four to another nvme ssd or
drive however from what i understand is
that intel will use a separate sata
connection preventing latency if a
second gen 4 nvme ssd drive is installed
amd would have to reroute one of the
ssds through the cpu's pcie 4.0
connection which in theory could cause
latency not a big deal to most but
something to consider if you plan on
running two gen 4 drives in raid 0. the
good news though is that amd laptops
will ship exclusively with ddr5 memory
whereas with intel depending on the
product you're buying it supports both
ddr4 and ddr5 thunderbolt 4 will be
there to connect external gpus and power
more than one 4k display if you go with
intel but amd is no longer at a
disadvantage since usb 4.0 is finding
the thing on some of these upcoming
laptops that means amd laptops with usb
4.0 will provide 40 gigabits per second
of io bandwidth just like thunderbolt 4
putting amd at parity with intel
honestly this is an exciting year for
intel as they're finally bringing in
some sweet competition and choosing the
perfect laptop will pretty much come
down to your own personal preferences if
you're a creator and gamer like me and
don't care about having the best battery
life my gut feeling is intel will make a
lot more sense for you but if you're a
developer or student who wants the best
battery life and the coolest system amd
is probably the better option expect
most of amd's h-series processors to
start shipping around april and intel's
in february the bottom line is it's not
going to be a no amd no buy type of year
it's going to be a very competitive year
depending on whether there is enough
supply something amd has struggled with
throughout 2021 i can't wait to test out
all these laptops so make sure to drop a

of these future reviews like the video
and of course i'll see you guys in the
next one
