Why are all Intel Lunar Lake laptops just notebooks and not gaming laptops? There's a big reason.

It's easy to summarize the problem. Intel's Chromebook Lake (Lunar Lake) has 4 cores and 8 threads, because an eCore is roughly as fast as a 2nd thread. So these are 2013 CPUs, with 4 cores and 8 threads. There really isn't much horsepower in these laptops. Intel tends to sell only two types of product. Low-temperature underpowered "loser laptops", and Overheating high-powered "Melt your face" desktops masquerading as laptops, they cut to half-speed when you unplug them from the wall! Lunar Lake is loser lake, the slower type, that's all you really need to know. They are underpowered laptops. I say this as a new and very happy owner of an AMD hx365 ai laptop (asus s16 zenbook).

Note that an AMD Zen5 PCore runs at 5.0 ot 5.1 Mhz, and an eCore runs at 3.33 Ghz, so an eCore for AMD is 2/3rds of the speed of a pCore, roughly. So a 10-core hx365 = 8-core AMD 8845hx, a 12-core hx370 = AMD 9.5 core 8945hx, roughly. So the AMD chips are roughly 2x faster than the Intel chips.

I'm so glad I have robust ad blocking for these garbage articles.

Is AMD paying you for this? There are too many assumptions and intentional be-littleing going on.

lunar lake gaming laptop? I thought lunar lake is use for Ultrabook or gaming handheld

I bet either AMD is paying you to write this, or you're just trying to get attention.

AMD high-end laptops are going to be expensive.
And the lower end AMD laptops are usually not better than the Intel versions.
And in the past AMD laptops also had the same problem with the integrated graphics playing well with the discrete graphics. But to be fair that was dependent on the brand that you bought.
In the laptop space the Intel NVIDIA combos have always been better than the AMD NVIDIA combos.
But you are claiming that's not so anymore. Well, I guess we'll see when all the non biased tech tubers do their tests.
