The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U emerged as the clear winner by a considerable margin. Its advanced RDNA2 graphics architecture with 12 CUs proved to be the winning factor against Intel’s Xe – LP graphics featuring 96 CUs. Intel just wasn’t efficient enough.  

The following charts highlight the significant differences in the CPUs’ gaming performance.

The results showed that up to 15W, the eight-core configuration was most efficient, while above that specific power limit, the quad-core was preferred. 

The GPD Win Max 2 is a handheld console and a compact laptop with a gaming pad. The firmware has several single-threaded cores which complement the Intel CPU. However, most users find the console convenient for gaming, so they prefer AMD instead. The Ryzen 7 6800U is twice as good as the Intel i5-1260P.
