CPU battle between Intel and AMD, CES 2025 outlook

Moore’s Law has a reputation for being dead. laptopcheck.netCinebench benchmark revealed that Arrow Lake will be 14% faster than the 13th generation Raptor Lake architecture, but power consumption will surprisingly be about the same.

However, what is clear is that Intel’s Luna Lake chips will not be discontinued. Therefore, the 2025 laptop lineup will likely include productivity laptops based on Intel’s Luna Lake, with the Arrow Lake architecture taking its place in terms of gaming and performance. All will use Core Ultra branding, so users need to be careful.

As someone who uses laptops more than desktops, AMD’s Strix Halo is definitely interesting. Intentionally or not, AMD has been trying to catch up with its competitors in the low-power laptop space, but it still maintains the lead when it comes to performance. This is because many customers prefer to buy the fastest processor for various purposes such as gaming.

Officially, AMD’s Strix Points will likely be named Ryzen AI Max, along with the Ryzen AI Max 395+ processor, which will complement the low-power Ryzen AI 300 family. One leaker Via Tom’s Hardware It was predicted that AMD could announce three processors: the 16-core Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the 12-core Ryzen AI Max 390 and the 8-core Ryzen AI Max 385. The Strix Halo is said to also include a pair of Zen 5 CCDs with an LPDDR5X memory interface.

The question is whether AMD will install a large GPU. AI Max+ 395 is said to be equipped with an RDNA 3.5-based GPU with 2560 stream processors, significantly surpassing the regular Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 or Strix Point processor. The question is whether PC manufacturers will install a discrete GPU or simply leave it to the graphics performance of the APU. However, this may come at the cost of an increase in power itself from 120W to 130W.

single AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D The limited release also suggests more to come in the desktop segment. Although the 9800X3D chip completely overwhelmed the competition,it was a single chip. The fact that AMD will announce the 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D and 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D chips at CES It even leaked out in advance. It will help ease AMD’s supply crunch, which has been squeezing chip supplies since its launch.
