AMD says its new laptop chips can beat Apple
But at a recent event, it didn’t show the proof.
Last week, AMD held a two-day event in Los Angeles to reveal in-depth information about its new Strix Point Ryzen AI chips built on its brand-new Zen 5 architecture. But not only did AMD tell reporters its upcoming Ryzen AI chips are faster than Apple’s M3 and M3 Pro, it also said its new integrated graphics beat Qualcomm’s current-gen and Intel’s last-gen while pointedly remarking that it can power “triple-A games in full HD,” including titles that simply “don’t work on some of our competitors.” AMD also claimed its NPU performs 50 trillion floating point operations per second, more than any of its Microsoft Copilot Plus laptop competitors will offer this year. I asked an AMD representative if it would be possible to run Cyberpunk 2077, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, or any other game it bragged about on the Radeon 890M but was told it would be best to wait for a review unit since performance is not indicative of the final, off-the-shelf version and that they would take too long to download because the hotel’s Wi-Fi was too slow.
