Review Snippet

We have with us the first benchmarks of AMD's latest Ryzen 6800U APU from an Asus ZenBook S 13 OLED laptop. We see that the Ryzen 6800U offers decent improvements in multi-core over a Ryzen 7 5800U but loses out to the Core i7-1260P in single-core. The biggest advantage, however, is with the Radeon 680M iGPU that can ably compete with the likes of a GTX 1650 Max-Q in some tests, though it might require some upscaling impetus in gaming.

We are currently getting more laptops with the new Intel Alder Lake processors. A direct comparison is not always easy due to different TDP settings, but the two devices Alienware x14 and the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro 14 now give us the chance for that - with the better end for AMD.
