Intel 16C/24T i7-13700K Raptor Lake bests AMD's 16C/32T Ryzen 5950X in leaked Geekbench

And AMD 7000 comes with DDR5 and RDNA-3, and it beats dedicated GPUs like Iris Xe, and Nvidia MX4xx. I would rather go again for AMD and get a laptop with  Ryzen APU. On the top of that Ryzen is energy friendly. Intel still lags behind in many departments such DDR5 based iGPU, and power consumption. I was Intel devoutee but Ryzen 5000 changed the whole game for me. Lets see how 7000 parry with RaptorLake once it is officially made available, In term of low power consumption, stellar battery life, and DDR5 based iGPU, i put my on money on AMD. My device never go above 65  C even when the temp here is 40+.

Same here. Happy with the 5900X desktop I built a little over a year ago.

With DDR5 it was a gamble by AMD that consumers would choose DDR5 because it was faster than DDR4, not avoid it because it was more expensive than DDR4. IIRC, Intel will support both, not sure if they can do that on the same motherboard though.

That is correct. AMD shifted to AM5 socket + DDR5 only to support RDNA2 and RDNA3. While intel, as of now, backward compatible with DDR4. Given high price and stock, Many people opt for DDR4.
