Hi
I know nothing about hardware so maybe it's a dumb question.
I'm looking for a laptop replacement, and I basically want an upgrade, not necessarily huge, but still.
Currently I have a Ryzen 9 5900HX. I'm eyeing a laptop with i7 14650HX, but with an option for 14900HX.
When I compare my Ryzen 9 5900HX to the 14650HX, the Intel seems better (between 10 and 15% better). But the base frequency is way lower.
I know it's important, but also that it probably doesn't say the whole story.
But is there a reason why 2 CPUs have such a difference, with the one with the lower frequency being rated as better? I think I've seen other examples over the past couple of days. Is it just the evolution of it that makes it that despite the much lower frequency, it's still better?
Thanks
