Review Snippet

The new MacBook Pro 13 has arrived in our office. The new Ice Lake processor is pretty much identical to the predecessor in term of performance, only the integrated GPU is a bit faster. Is the switch to AMD long overdue?

During our tests with the new 2020 Apple MacBook Air, we noticed that the display is around 30% brighter when you use Windows. But how is that possible?

A preliminary sustained performance comparison between the AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS and the Intel Core i7-10875H in a looped Cinebench R15 Multi test shows that the Renoir chip can better hold on to its peak performance in the first few rounds compared to Comet Lake-H. What is interesting is that the 10th generation Intel chips have managed to nearly halve the second round-performance loss compared to the 9th generation chips.

Our first benchmarks of the 10th gen Comet Lake-H Core i7-10875H powering the Gigabyte Aero 17 HDR XB laptop indicate that Comet Lake-H is best suited for those aiming for maximum clocks possible for games or workflows that require short bursts of boost. For almost every other practical purpose, the AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS looks to be a better bet.
