Intel's 225H matches AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, runs cooler

Chinese technology reviewer Geekerwan conducted benchmark tests comparing Intel's Core Ultra 5 225H against AMD's Ryzen AI 7 350 processor using identical Ideapad Pro 5 laptops. Performance results showed minimal differences between these competing chips across synthetic and gaming evaluations. Intel's processor demonstrated superior performance at higher power levels between 60 and 80 watts, while AMD's chip excelled during lower power consumption scenarios from 10 to 25 watts. Temperature management favored Intel's design, which maintained operations below 90 degrees Celsius compared to AMD's processor reaching 100 degrees during peak loads. The Intel processor achieved a 2.5 percent advantage in Cinebench R23 testing, though gaming performance remained essentially equivalent between both options.
