AMD at CES 2020 was all about more x86 and GPU products to reinforce loyalty from gamers and mobile users alike.
While AMD at CES 2020 claims it now has the world’s highest-performance desktop and ultra-thin processors it’s a game of tag between it and Intel as the winner of the speed crown can change minute-by-minute.
What is clear from AMD at CES 2020 is that Intel has a serious competitor in its space although their respective designs are poles apart – each has its strengths and weaknesses.
AMD at CES 2020 – 7mn thin is good
AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile processors with Radeon Graphics
U-series up to 8 cores and 16 threads, configurable 15W TDP for ultra-thin laptops.
These figures are ‘up to’
- 4% greater single-thread performance
- 90% faster-multithreaded performance than the competition (Core i7-1065G7)
- 18% faster graphics performance than the competition
H-Series Mobile Processors, configurable 45W TDP
- 5% greater single-threaded and up to 46% greater multi-threaded performance than the competition (Core i7-9750H)
- 25% faster 4K video encoding using Adobe Premier than the competition
- 39% greater gameplay physics simulation performance than the competition
Note that mobile processors are only sold to laptop makers/OEMs.
