Wait, ASUS put an Intel H-series CPU but only an AMD U-series chip? Couldn't they at least have taken an HS model then? Either way, the AMD model should be fine unless you will be rendering or compiling a lot on that laptop. Outside of such CPU intensive tasks the CPU should be amply enough. As for the GPU, due to the higher TDP the Intel model actually could be faster. See, the 7730 is a rebranded Ryzen 7 5825U and as such still comes with Vega graphics cores. the Alder Lake Iris grapics is about the same in perofrmance normally, but due to having more TDP headroom could actually be faster here. In short, you're trading performance for battery life. But if you don't always need that performance like in the tasks I mentioned before, you'll be far better off with the AMD model. And unless ASUS chose a very shitty SSD, you won't see any difference between the two in that regard. |
Yea AMD just keeps using old rebranded processors. Very confusing how they named their 7000 mobile series. Oh well, i do want more battery life.
So i did order the AMD one. Big draw with these was to get the Oled screens.
Video i found explaining the weird 7000 mess. Oh well good storage. I would have had to pay so much to get the macbook storage.
