We test in the out-of-the-box state with minimal adjustments made to the laptops, other than installing our test software and Windows updates in addition to removing McAfee which is simply infuriating (ASUS, please stop including this!).

That means that each laptop is tested using its ‘Standard’ fan and power profile. For the Ryzen 7 5800U, that means a roughly 12-15W long duration power delivery, and for the Core i7-1165G7 that is 12W long duration power delivery.

We also add some testing in the ‘Performance’ cooling mode which ramps up the fan a little and increases the CPU power delivery. For the Ryzen 7 5800U that means around 18-21W long duration power delivery and the Core i7-1165G7 is around 15W long duration power delivery.

We include some comparison data from relevant laptops that we have tested recently. One important note is that we have included comparison data from the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14” laptop that equips the Zen 2 Ryzen 7 4800U processor that the Zen 3 5800U replaces. This Lenovo laptop, however, runs that older chip at a considerably higher power allocation of around 25W+ for long duration runs.

As such, the older Zen 2 Ryzen 7 will often appear faster than the newer Zen 3 Ryzen 7, but this is realistically due to different power budgets from the laptop makers – and not the APUs themselves.

Lightly- and single-threaded comparisons will highlight the proficiencies of the new Ryzen 7 5800U without the power shackles that are not comparable with the Ryzen 7 4800U device. This is an important observation to bear in mind.
