AMD Claims Its Ryzen 7840U Chip Can Outperform Apple’s M2 Chip But Provides Vague Stats

wccftech.com:

Apple is well ahead in its transitional efforts to switch to its custom silicon. The company introduced the M2 chip last year with the redesigned MacBook Air and released the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips alongside the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. While the new chips are exceptional when it comes to performance and power efficiency, AMD believes that its latest Ryzen 7840U can beat Apple's M2 chip. Scroll down to read more details on the subject.

AMD announced the Ryzen 7840U chip recently and compared it to Apple's M2 chip. While the company claims that the processor can outperform Apple's chip, it fails to provide proper evidence. Performance aside, AMD did not share any information related to the chip's power consumption and battery life. The company showcased bar graphs highlighting vague stats and did not mention the tools used to calculate the difference in performance.

If you are not familiar, the latest Ryzen 7840U is AMD's flagship chip which will be used in top-tier notebooks in the near future. The chip will potentially feature enhanced performance capabilities and better battery life compared to previous versions. However, the company's claims to compete better against Apple are not supported by evidence. In the "Application Performance" category, the company used titles like 'image editing'. The company did not mention any image editing tools like Adobe Photoshop or any other to bolster its claims against Apple's M2 chip.

In contrast, there are plenty of benchmark tests available for Apple's chip that show how it excels in graphical and computational performance. The Verge coins that AMD's claims are "fairly vague". The M2 chip brags enhanced performance and battery life and it is a tough one to beat. This is
