[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 6800U vs Intel Core i7-1165G7 – This feels illegal

LaptopMedia describes the comparison between the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and Intel Core i7-1165G7 as one-sided, with the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen chip significantly outclassing the 4-core/8-thread Intel processor in both performance and efficiency. The Ryzen 7 6800U (pro: Zen 3+ architecture, 6nm efficiency) boasts massive performance gains, scoring 95% higher in Cinebench 20 and 93% higher in Cinebench R23 compared to the i7-1165G7. Furthermore, the AMD chip dominates with its RDNA 2 integrated graphics (Radeon 680M), which outperformed the Iris Xe in the Intel chip by over 100% in 3DMark Fire Strike and Unigine Superposition, marking it as a far superior choice for gaming and productivity. Conversely, the Intel i7-1165G7 is considered an outdated, poor investment for new laptops, despite its previous, now-limited relevance.

AMD Ryzen 7 6800U Review – with ASUS ZenBook S 13 OLED

The KitGuru review highlights the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U in the ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED as a breakthrough for ultraportable performance, driven by significant Radeon 680M graphics capabilities, LPDDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen 4 support. Key pros include the "glorious" 2.8K OLED display, impressive battery efficiency, and robust sustained performance around 22–23W, alongside modern features like USB4. However, cons include poor 8K60 YouTube playback performance compared to Intel, limited connectivity with only three USB-C ports, and audible fans under heavy load.

AMD Ryzen 7 6800U: Providing amazing performance at just 28W of power

a little longer The Tech Critter review highlights the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, particularly its Radeon 680M integrated graphics, as a breakthrough for thin-and-light laptops. Gaming tests showed over 60fps in Genshin Impact (low settings) and playable 30+ fps in titles like Halo Infinite and GTA V, with a key advantage being consistent performance while on battery power. The processor offers excellent efficiency and support for modern platforms like LPDDR5 and PCIe Gen 4, outperforming previous Intel Iris Xe graphics that struggled with similar titles. The chip's power management enables strong, fluid performance in ultraportable devices, demonstrated using the ASUS ZenBook S 13 OLED. However, the review notes thermal management issues, with temperatures hitting 85∘C85 raised to the composed with power C85∘C during intensive gaming, and conservative boost clocks that limit maximum potential to manage heat. Additionally, users must lower graphical settings or resolution to achieve high frame rates in modern, demanding AAA games.

Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED Review: AMD Ryzen 7 6800U Is A Big Improvement

The ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED (2022) represents a significant performance leap thanks to the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor and integrated Radeon 680M graphics, which deliver improved efficiency and capable 1080p gaming. The ultraportable features a 1.1kg design, a vibrant 2.8K OLED display, and good battery life, though it lacks legacy ports (USB-A/HDMI) and Thunderbolt 4 support. Further drawbacks include soldered RAM, a 720p webcam, and potential fan noise under heavy loads.

AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and Intel Core i7-1260P Review

The TechSpot review compares the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and Intel Core i7-1260P, highlighting the Ryzen's superior RDNA 2-based Radeon 680M graphics that provide a 50%+ performance increase and superior 3D rendering in Cinebench. While the Ryzen 6800U offers better efficiency and battery life, its CPU gains over the previous generation are minimal. Conversely, the Intel Core i7-1260P excels in single-threaded tasks, performing 18% faster in Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office, yet it suffers from significantly weaker integrated graphics and higher power consumption compared to the AMD counterpart. Ultimately, the analysis suggests choosing the Ryzen for gaming and battery life, and Intel for general productivity, as detailed in the full TechSpot review.

Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED Review: Ryzen 6800U Goes Thin

The Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (UM5302) is a 2.43-pound, ultra-thin laptop featuring the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, designed for high portability and premium performance. Key strengths include a vibrant 2.8K OLED display, strong multi-core processing, capable Radeon 680M graphics, and over 11 hours of battery life, according to Tom's Hardware. While the display is bright at 321 nits, it is slightly dimmer than some competitors. Tom's HardwareThe laptop's primary drawbacks stem from its compact design, including limited port selection (three USB-C ports only) and significant heat generation under load, which can lead to performance throttling. The chassis reached 49.5°C (121.1°F) in tests, and users will need dongles for USB-A or HDMI connectivity.

[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 6800U vs Intel Core i7-1165G7 Are you looking for specific benchmark scores (like Cinebench or gaming FPS) from these reviews...

According to LaptopMedia, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (8 cores, 16 threads) outperforms the 4-core Intel Core i7-1165G7, with the 6nm Zen 3+ chip scoring nearly 95% higher in Cinebench 20 and 93% higher in R23. The Ryzen 7 6800U excels in multi-threaded tasks and productivity, featuring the Radeon 680M iGPU which outperforms the Iris Xe Graphics G7 by over 120% in 3DMark Fire Strike, representing major advantages for AMD. Conversely, the Core i7-1165G7 is limited by a lower core count and significantly weaker integrated graphics, making it an inferior choice for performance-demanding applications. The 6800U is labeled a superior option for its massive 3D rendering and processing gains. The main disadvantage for the Intel processor is that its older architecture cannot compete with the new AMD standard, making it less viable for modern usage.

[Comparison] AMD Ryzen 7 6800U vs Ryzen 7 5825U

This LaptopMedia comparison highlights the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (Zen 3+, 6nm) as a premium flagship, while the Ryzen 7 5825U (Zen 3) is positioned as a high-value "people's champion," with both featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. While the 6800U offers only modest CPU improvements—roughly 12% faster in Cinebench R23—the 5825U remains highly competitive in raw computing for a lower cost. The 6800U’s primary advantage lies in its integrated RDNA 2 Radeon 680M graphics, which deliver over 100% higher performance in synthetic benchmarks and games like CS:GO compared to the older Vega graphics in the 5825U. Key pros for the Ryzen 7 6800U include massive graphical gains, LPDDR5 support, and improved efficiency, though it is limited by higher costs in premium devices. Conversely, the Ryzen 7 5825U offers exceptional value and similar CPU performance, with its main drawback being outdated Vega graphics. The 6800U is ideal for gaming and intensive tasks, while the 5825U is better for budget-conscious users. Copy
