Mobile Ryzen may succeed
Compared to desktop Ryzen there are hard reasons why Ryzen mobile may succeed:
- Intel has no frequency advantage here, so single tread and gaming performance is on par.
- AMD can fully apply Ryzens SMT advantage vs Intels Hyperthreading so Ryzen is faster in multithreaded apps.
- Mobile Vega is 2 to 3 times faster than Intels GPU.
- Like with desktop Ryzen AMD can sell at lower price points.
- The VEGA part of the chip may be able to upscale its power/performance to allow single chip gaming laptops. Intel can not do this, the vendors need to integrate a separate NVidia chip for gaming.
