It's just better overall. Intel 11th gen highest end cpu i7-1185G7 has some single core performance advantage, around 10 to 12% whenbusing same power but in multi-threaded and demanding workloads, it can be over 70% faster.

Intel still has the advantage in single-core instructions per clock. But Intel has been stuck on 14nm forever (Intel 14nm is about 37.5 million transistors per mm^2). AMD is using TSMC's 7nm process (about 115 million transistors per mm^2 in its latest version). That gives the AMD processor a huge advantage in power consumption and density (how many cores you can pack together without overheating).

Intel's latest gen is manufactured at 10nm (Intel 10nm is about 100 million transistors per mm^2). That's a lot more competitive with TSMC 7nm, but Intel is having problems producing it in quantity, especially for their higher-end (higher power and heat) processors. Their latest high-end processors are still being manufactured at 14nm. Which is just nuts when Apple and probably Nvidia are being manufactured on TSMC 5nm (about 175 million transistors per mm^2 - nearly 5x the density of Intel 14nm).

AMD could've manufactured at 5nm if they were willing to pay more, but it looks like they're content to stay on 7nm for now. I suspect that decision had more to do with keeping Intel around as a competitor so that AMD doesn't have to face anti-trust investigations. That's how far behind Intel is.

But at multicore performance, the AMD 4700U (8 core/8 thread) and 4800U (8 core/16 thread) processors just wipe the floor with Intel's 10nm CPUs (best are 4 core/8 thread). I would only seriously consider the Intel 10nm processors (ice lake and tiger lake) for lower-end laptops competing with the AMD 4500U (6 core/6 thread), maybe the 4600U (6 core/12 thread). For higher performance, it's AMD on TSMC 7nm vs Intel on Intel 14nm, which is no contest. Intel only makes sense there if you don't care about power consumption at all. That might make sense on a desktop, but it automatically eliminates them from consideration if you're buying a performance laptop.

And keep in mind that AMD's new Zen 3 processors are now showing up for mobile... At this point with Intel 7nm (rumored to be around 200 million transistors/mm^2) still 2 years away at best, I think their only chance is to swallow their pride and have TSMC (or maybe Samsung) manufacture some of their processors for them.

Which Intel processor is this AMD comparable to? Or is it just better overall?

I'm also curious about build quality.
I have a friend opening up a medical clinic and needs a pc that will be durable and can be carried around the office all day long every day.

How does this compare with this Lenovo? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/lapt...20V9004EUS

How about with this one? https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp...-2j130av-1

I don't care about touchscreen. I know I want ssd, good processor, 16gb ram. Uses: photoshop, general computing.
To be honest, I'm leaning towards the intel model unless the amd version has a much better battery life. I wish there were more reviews out there…

There is no comparison. Intel uses 2-3x the power. So if you actually use it as a laptop...intel is a steam locomotive. If you could keep intel cool, then they're top CPUs can hang, but you don't wanna know what that boost TDP is lol (desktop level).

Thanks for the clear answer! What about the integrated graphics on this. Better or same as the newer Intel Iris XE?

Intel XE is just as competitive as vega 8 if not slightly better. If you don't care too much about the insane multicore performance from ryzen, I'd get the intel one (that's a first haha) for its slightly higher res screen, igpu, and thunderbolt 4 for ~50 bucks less (varies with EDU/EPP discount). Only thing I'm concerned about might be it's battery life, although notebookcheck's review said it was good I believe…

The Intel version has Thunderbird 4 port, 40Gbs transfer. Keep that in mind.

A third of 512GB? Not even close. Probably around 30GB or less, I'd guess.

Here's a head-to-head comparison at same RAM clock speeds where a 4500U bests a 1135G7 by about 20% in GTA5.
You could extrapolate that out to the 1165G7 having 20% more execution cores than the 1135G7 at the same clock rate and the 4800U having 33% more execution cores than the 4500U and running at 16.66% faster clocks so this 4800U should win even better against Intel's best mobile.

Another laptop could still beat this with discrete graphics like an MX350 or any mobile GPU, but not at this power efficiency.
