AMD showcased a chart to the press comparing the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U and Intel Core Ultra 7 165H processor and system performance with Ryzen 7 Pro 8840U. The Ryzen 7 Pro 8840U would always outperform the Intel processors at responsiveness, multitasking, CPU performance, productivity and graphics using PCMark, and content creation using Procyon Video Editing. Focusing on a regular Team call from day to day, users can expect to receive 69% faster performance that costs 55% less power and 72% faster performance using AI, with the cost of power being less than 84% when comparing the Ryzen 7 Pro 8840U to the Intel Core Ultra processors.
Moving on from mobile processors, AMD also detailed the Ryzen Pro 8000 series for business desktop users with plenty of models to choose from, depending on the intention.
