Hey Guys, I’m an intel guy but all my research says that AMD is the way to go for battery life and performance. I plan on buying the base model of either. The month or two wait is not an issue for me, so I’m just worried about performance and battery life, or quirks (battery drain etc…). Any suggestions would be helpful.
Just upgraded 12th gen i7 to 7840U and can confirm that Ryzen handles much better under load. Compiling a rather big Angular project keeps i7 at 100° and 65° afterwards, while Ryzen goes up to 79° only and then drops to 50°. Also initial compilation time is lower on Ryzen with 12 seconds vs 14.5.
