    -Intel has launched their new Lunar Lake processors, while AMD has launched their new Strix Point processors.

  • What is the purpose of testing these processors in different games?

    -The purpose of testing these processors in different games is to evaluate their integrated graphics performance for 1080p gaming.

  • Which laptops were used for testing Intel's Lunar Lake and AMD's Strix Point processors?

    -ASUS’s new Zenbook S 14 laptop was used for testing Intel’s Lunar Lake processor, and ASUS’s Zephyrus G16 gaming laptops were used for testing AMD’s Strix Point and Intel’s Meteor Lake.

  • How was the performance of the CPUs standardized in the testing?

    -The CPUs in the G16’s were limited to 28 watts using ASUS’s Armory Crate software to match the Zenbook's highest performance mode.

  • What is AMD's Fluid Motion Frames 2 feature and how does it work?

    -AMD's Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) is a frame generation feature handled at the driver level, allowing the AMD laptop to apply frame generation to any game, regardless of the game's native support for frame generation.

  • What is the significance of Intel's Lunar Lake having the highest single-core score in Cinebench?

    -Having the highest single-core score indicates that Intel's Lunar Lake processor has strong single-thread performance, which can be beneficial for tasks that do not rely heavily on multicore performance.

  • How did AMD's Strix Point perform compared to Intel's Lunar Lake in Cyberpunk 2077?

    -In Cyberpunk 2077, AMD's Strix Point was 14% faster than Intel's Lunar Lake, while Lunar Lake was 30% faster than their last gen Meteor Lake.

  • What is the difference between using FSR (AMD) and XeSS (Intel) for upscaling?

    -FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) for AMD and XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) for Intel are upscaling technologies that enhance the visual quality of games by rendering them at a lower resolution and then upscaling them to the native resolution of the display.

  • Which game showed the biggest improvement for Intel's Lunar Lake over Meteor Lake?

    -Hogwarts Legacy showed the biggest improvement for Intel's Lunar Lake over their last gen Meteor Lake with a 67% higher average frame rate.

  • What was the average performance difference between AMD's Strix Point and Intel's Lunar Lake across all tested games?

    -On average, over all 20 games tested, AMD's Strix Point processor was 11% faster than Intel's Lunar Lake at 1080p.

  • How does the power consumption of AMD's Strix Point compare to Intel's Lunar Lake?

    -AMD's Strix Point used more power but also performed better in certain games, while Intel's Lunar Lake used significantly less power and won from a performance per watt perspective.
