Absolutely. Strix Point is great but it’s just a monolithic chip, no chiplets are used. Intel’s Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake use all kinds of different chiplets called tiles, separate ones for compute, GPU, SoC (with RAM controllers, display driver and a few ultra low power E cores so that compute tiles can be completely switched off at idle) and IO tiles. Different tiles are produced on different node sizes to optimize for cost and performance as needed.
On paper they’re very impressive designs, but it hasn’t translated to chips that are actually faster or more efficient than AMD’s offerings. I’d always choose AMD for a laptop currently, so even with all that impressive tech Intel is still lagging behind.

Would you happen to be including AMD’s new strix point Mobile cpu in that comparison? They seem to be at the very top for mobile CPUs currently.
If you were including those, what workloads is Intel still better at?

Oh wow, I didn’t realize strix was monolithic. I just assumed it was multi die due to the Zen5c cores.
