Intel Core Ultra 7 Meteor Lake vs. AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme Performance

Similar to the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U testing against the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, the Meteor Lake Arc Graphics are quite capable of competing against the integrated RDNA3 graphics with the likes of the ASUS ROG Ally. However, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme did tend to side with better power efficiency over Meteor Lake.

Across all of the graphics benchmarks run, the Core Ultra 7 155H was pulling around 24 Watts with a peak of 43 Watts, compared to the Ryzen Z1 Extreme out-of-the-box on the ASUS ROG Ally pulling a 15 Watt average and a 25 Watt peak. Or in the ROG Ally's ACPI performance platform profile a 25 Watt average and a 39 Watt peak.

That's a quick look at the Ryzen Z1 Extreme versus Core Ultra 7 155H for those curious about roughly how well Intel Meteor Lake can run against the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme. The Core Ultra 7 155H was tested within the Acer Swift Go 14 laptop that likely will have better cooling than the more-dense/compact MSI CLAW handheld console and the like. The integrated Arc Graphics are quite capable and can match or outperform the integrated AMD RDNA3 graphics but in performance-per-Watt the Z1 Extreme will likely fair better.

For those curious bout CPU/system benchmarks, some numbers there follow.
