Both Intel and AMD have released their own processors for mobile platforms, among which the ones that can appear in the mini console should be Core Ultra on Intel's side, and the latest Ryzen 8040 series on AMD's side. So if there is a mini host with Core Ultra and Ryzen 8040 processors on the market, who should you choose?
Let's take a look at the performance of the Core Ultra and Ryzen 8040. Core Ultra is the Core Ultra7 155H, Ryzen 8040 is not banned yet, but there is little difference between Ryzen 7 8845HS and Ryzen 7 7840H in terms of specifications, and the performance gap between the two is expected to be relatively small, with a high probability of being between 3%-5%, so the results of Ryzen 7 7840H are used instead of Ryzen 7 8845HS.
Let's start with the Core Ultra7 155H. The specs of this processor are quite interesting, with 6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores, and 2 low-power cores, which makes up 16 cores and 22 threads. The TDP is 28W, but the performance release of most laptops will be higher than this value, so don't worry about 28W affecting performance.
In the performance test section, two software, Cinebench R20 and R23, were selected, representing the theoretical performance of the processor.
The first is Cinebench R20, in this software, the Core Ultra7 155H gets a multi-core score of 6043, a single-core score of 676, and the performance is okay.
The second is Cinebench R23, in this software, the Core Ultra7 155H got a multi-core score of 16751 and a single-core score of 1749, which is basically consistent with the R20.
Judging from the results of the two software, the performance of the Core Ultra7 155H is not particularly top-notch, and it is at the upper level of the midstream on the mobile platform at this stage.
Let's take a look at the performance of the Ryzen 7 7840H.
This processor should be very familiar to everyone, and it is the star product of the Ryzen 7000 processor. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, and the TDP is 45W, of course, the actual power consumption is not limited to 45W. This processor is not only found in gaming laptops, but also in thin and light laptops and mini consoles, and the overall ** is also low.
Let's also take a look at the results of Cinebench R20 and R23, which represent the theoretical performance of the processor.
The first is Cinebench R20, in this software, Ryzen 7 7840H got a multi-core score of 6258 and a single-core score of 693, which is quite good.
The second is Cinebench R23, in this software, Ryzen 7 7840H got a multi-core score of 15716 and a single-core score of 1776, which is basically consistent with R20.
Judging from the results of the two software, the performance of the Ryzen 7 7840H is also not particularly top-notch, and it is placed at the upper level of the midstream on the mobile platform at this stage, which is very close to the Core Ultra7 155H.
Through the test, it can be seen that the performance of these two processors is relatively close. In Cinebench R20, the Ryzen 7 7840H is slightly better than the Core Ultra7 155H. In Cinebench R23, the situation is reversed, with the Core Ultra 7 155H performing better than the Ryzen 7 7840H.
However, considering that the performance of the Ryzen 7 8845HS is a little higher than that of the Ryzen 7 7840H, then in terms of overall performance, the Ryzen 7 8845HS should be stronger than the Core Ultra7 155H.
However, it should be clear that even if there is a gap in performance, the difference between the two is very small and can even be regarded as an error. Because when you encounter models with better performance, then their performance will be better. Therefore, if you look at it from a performance point of view, there is no need to worry about whether to choose Core Ultra or Ryzen 8040.
The only factor that affects how to choose, in fact, is only one, and that is **. In the case of little difference in hardware performance, whoever has the lowest **, then the consumer chooses whom. Therefore, after the mini host equipped with two processors is launched in the future, you only need to take a look at ** to know who to choose, is it very simple.
