Intel has recently unveiled a user guide titled “Core Truths,” alleging that AMD incorporates antiquated CPU cores in its latest Ryzen series products. According to Intel, AMD has a lengthy track record of disseminating incomplete truths to unsuspecting consumers. I crafted this guide to help users identify the partial truths that competitors are spreading right before their eyes. Within this guide, I outline a total of four “realities. For instance, in the Ryzen 7000 processor series, AMD employs an obsolete CPU architecture.
Intel is addressing the Mendocino processor series of the Ryzen 5 7520U, built on the 6nm process and the Zen 2 core architecture introduced in 2019. The chip also integrates the RDNA 2 graphics architecture. Intel discloses the “essential reality” and mocks AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs for employing outdated core architecture on our website. We offer the most recent CPU nomenclature details from both AMD and Intel:
AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU Series:
- Mendocino (Ryzen 7×20 series) employs Zen2 architecture – optimal for daily office tasks.
- Barcelo-R (Ryzen 7×30 series) features Zen3 architecture and is the top pick for mainstream thin and light notebooks.
- Rembrandt-R (Ryzen 7×35 series) boasts Zen3 architecture – delivering high-quality, thin, and light performance.
- Phoenix Point (Ryzen 7×40 Series) incorporates Zen4 Architecture – an elite choice for ultra-thin laptops.
The Dragon series (Ryzen 7×45 series) features the Zen4 architecture, designed specifically for extreme gaming enthusiasts and content creators.
Intel 1st Generation Core and 1st Generation Core Ultra:
- To be rephrased: Raptor Lake Refresh (Core 120U).
- To be rephrased: Meteor Lake (Core Ultra 125U).
Intel also conducted a comparison between the Ryzen 5 7520U and the Core i5-1335U, revealing data indicating Intel processors outperform AMD products by 83%. Additionally, Intel asserts that “(AMD) not all CPU cores deliver the best overall performance. In this context, Intel contrasts Zen 2 “Mendocino” and Zen 3 “Cezanne” with 12th-generation Alder Lake processors, and Zen 3+ “Rembrandt” and Zen 4 “Phoenix” with 13th-generation chips. Performance data, based on a single test result of Crossmark Overall Score, demonstrates Intel processors consistently outperform AMD products.
However, it’s crucial to mention that Intel’s latest processor adopts a hybrid architecture of P core and E core (AMD Zen4 and ZenC belonging to the same architecture). Without proper optimization through Thread Director technology, the E core may significantly improve performance. Beyond that, it should be noted that Intel entirely overlooks the roles of pricing and efficiency, two pivotal factors in laptops.
The media outlets suggest that Intel’s marketing buzz is reminiscent of its previous releases of similar “real-world” presentations. Which ultimately proved to be “highly misleading” tests designed to show that AMD Ryzen desktop CPUs were inferior to Intel’s offerings.
