High-performance CPUs for laptops have for a long time been the near-exclusive stomping grounds of chip giant Intel, but that has been changing over the past year. At Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) teased a total of 13 new chip variants that will join the Ryzen 5000 series this year to power laptops of all types: U-series chips for thin-and-light laptops, and HX-, HS- and H-series chips for more power-minded models. 

Among them, Ryzen 7 8500U is a new flagship processor for thin laptops which has 8 cores and 16 threads, thereby making it the first eight-core chip for slim machines. AMD claims that it posts a 7% to 44% performance increase against Intel’s competing “Tiger Lake” Core i7-1185G7 chip. AMD expects more than 150 laptop models to feature Ryzen 5000 chips, up 50% from the previous generation Ryzen 4000 family, thereby bringing Intel’s domination of the mobile CPU space under fire.
