We think AMD’s battery life claims match the reality of what we’re seeing in most laptop scenarios. AMD did that with battery life estimates that project where each laptop would fall on each specific task.Īs you can see on the chart below, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U in the Slim 7 posts both wins and losses against the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 and its Core i7-1065G7, but it’s very much in the ballpark. While AMD’s approach merits examination, what might be better is to present the raw data for consumers to decide on their own. Obviously, even with AMD’s method, your mileage may vary. Using AMD’s methods, the company said the Ryzen 7 4800U in a Lenovo Slim 7 offers about 30 minutes more battery life once the battery size in the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 and Core i7-1065G7 is normalized. But rather than continue using MobileMark 2014, AMD is hoping to change how we all measure it. So yes, on a test that AMD doesn’t really believe in, and that has long been seen as over-inflating battery life claims, Ryzen 4000 does just great. The comparison isn’t perfect because of the display and battery differences, but AMD said there wasn’t a 13-inch laptop with similar battery capacities among its partners’ designs. AMD also tested a Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 with Intel’s 10nm Core i7-1065G7, a 13.2-inch screen, and 50-watt-hour battery, which hit 16 hours and 58 minutes in MobileMark 2014.

AMD officials told us it just recognizes the reality that the vast majority of battery life metrics that PC makers publish are based on MobileMark 2014.įor its comparison, AMD said the Lenovo Slim 7 was configured with a 14-inch 1080p screen and 60-watt battery. You may be surprised AMD is using BAPCo’s MobileMark, considering its well-documented antipathy toward the organization.
