Students or business users who want something more professional than an IdeaPad without needing to spend an arm or a leg for a "proper" ThinkPad model can consider the Lenovo ThinkBook series instead.

According to sources close to Videocardz, Intel is reportedly working on a pre-binned high-performance variant of the Core i9-12900K. The Core i9-12900KS could hit 5 GHz on all cores, right out of the box. It remains to be seen if this is enough to take on AMD's upcoming 3D V-Cache-refreshed Ryzen parts.

A processor from AMD's upcoming Ryzen chips has reportedly leaked thanks to a notebook making a stop at the BAPCO website. Going by the codename "AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000560-40_Y", the processor appears to have 8 cores and 16 threads. It was paired with a 4800 MHz memory, giving rise to speculation that the processor was DDR5 capable.

We already know that the latest Ryzen 7 U-series CPUs can outperform the latest 11th gen Core i7 U-series CPUs in many instances, but the differences are skewed even further in AMD's favor when moving down to the Ryzen 3 vs. Core i3 budget category.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700U can easily outperform any 11th gen Intel Core U-series CPU when it comes to multi-thread performance. The fact that it can be found on a relatively mid-range Lenovo convertible like the Flex 5 14 makes it surprisingly affordable.
