Let’s see: Blender, for the BMW27 the 3700x is ~30% faster.

In notebookcheck’s own site, you can add a 3700x test (together with a Vega64) and see that outside of single core synthetic results, in every multi-core real world scenario, the 3700x trounces the Lunar lake CPU, even though it’s several nodes behind in density (7nm vs 3nm) and it is 6 years older, has much less memory bandwidth…

I highly doubt the 238v is faster than the 3700x at anything other than browsing the web or other single core loads…

edit: Unless one looks at userbenchmarks (if that shithole still exists), in userbenchmarks even the 6700k is better than a 9800x3D.

You’re being purposefully dense, it had a misplaced word. It’s fixed now.

Oh look, the OP that posted the ad doubles down on the false expectations published in the ad.

Lunar lake guzzles energy when using several programs at the time and performs worse that even Arrow lake in the battery department once this is the case. If you put a lid on it and use the low perf mode, you revert to performance from half a decade ago. At that point one is much better served by a macbook air. The only saving grace of lunar lake is the performant, low power iGPU. The single reason to use an x86 laptop is compatibility with professional software like catya etc, Lunar lake is trash tier in anything remotely useful, which begs the question: why would anyone choose Lunar Lake over snapdragon or Mx laptops then?

Yes, it’s an ad. Basically the Lunar Lake option is a high single core perf CPU that is pretty bad for anything other than checking emails and web browsing. We’re in 2025 and outlets still haven’t found a way to properly test multitasking.

He calculated it using excell copilot. Saw the number and ran outside naked screaming “STOOOOONKS”.

FYI, it’s not a paper, it’s a blog post from well connected and presumably highly educated people benefiting from the institutional prestige to see their poorly conducted study be propagated ad eternum without a modicum of relevant peer review.

edit: After a few more minutes, it’s an unreliable psychopath detector.

Keep closing local factories and outsourcing manufacturing to India, It’ll go splendedly!

All of them.
