Intel's stronger CPU and GPU performanceBoth models got fresh processors this year, but only the Intel version actually delivers a performance uplift. The Core Ultra 7 255H runs about 14% faster than last year’s Ultra 7 155H, while AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 350 ends up slightly weaker than the Ryzen 7 8840HS it replaces. Graphics performance shows an even clearer gap: Intel’s Arc 140T offers noticeably better gaming performance than AMD’s underwhelming Radeon 860M. That’s particularly disappointing, since the older Radeon 780M from last year would still beat Intel’s new iGPU.
