Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to my series of videos comparing the AMD Ryzen 4800U to the Intel Tiger Lake, specifically the 1185G7. In this video series, we'll delve into various performance aspects using a meticulous testing methodology.

Testing Methodology

Total System Power vs. TDP

We'll be focusing on matching total system power rather than TDP (Thermal Design Power). This ensures a fair comparison, considering Intel's slight advantage in total system power over the 4800U.

API Choice

Regardless of API preferences, we'll utilize the best-suited one for each platform to maintain objectivity in our comparisons.

Windows Power Profiles

We'll set Windows power profiles to maximize graphics performance on both platforms, ensuring consistency in testing conditions.

PC Settings

On the Intel platform, we'll implement Cyphera's BAT for power management, while on AMD, Runwar Mobile Tuning will be employed.

Tuning Software

Intel Platform: Cyphera's BAT

For Intel's 1185G7, we'll utilize Cyphera's BAT version 2.05 for optimized performance.

AMD Platform: Runwar Mobile Tuning

On the AMD side, we'll employ Runwar Mobile Tuning to fine-tune performance settings for the 4800U.

Settings Optimization

We'll explore EPP (Energy Performance Preference) settings and GPU clock frequency adjustments for optimal performance.

Switch Emulation Setup

We'll configure the Yuzu emulator, focusing on GPU settings and controller configurations to ensure accurate performance evaluation.

Performance Comparison

Astral Chain Performance

We'll analyze the performance of Astral Chain on both platforms, highlighting any disparities in frame rate stability.

Power Efficiency Comparison

We'll compare power efficiency between AMD and Intel platforms, noting any differences in power consumption during gameplay.

Game Specific Issues

Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening

We'll address issues such as depth of field discrepancies on Intel's platform and potential solutions.

Golf Story Performance

Analyze power usage disparities between platforms during gameplay Sessions of Golf Story.

Conclusion

In summary, we'll provide a verdict on overall performance, considering factors like emulation stability, power efficiency, and platform-specific optimizations. We'll also discuss the future outlook for both platforms in emulation performance.

Highlights:

• Meticulous testing methodology ensures accurate performance evaluation.
• Intel and AMD platforms undergo rigorous comparison in power efficiency and gaming performance.
• Detailed analysis of game-specific issues highlights platform disparities.
• Future outlook considers potential improvements in emulation performance.

FAQs

Q: Can I apply these optimization techniques to other emulators? A: While some settings may be transferable, optimization techniques may vary depending on the emulator and hardware configuration.

Q: Will these performance differences affect non-emulation tasks? A: The performance disparities observed primarily apply to emulation tasks. In typical usage scenarios, differences may be less pronounced.

Q: Are there any risks associated with adjusting GPU settings? A: While tweaking GPU settings can enhance performance, it's essential to exercise caution and monitor system stability to avoid potential issues.
