Intel has published a PDF playbook where it tries to « enlighten customers » on how AMD’s latest processors are not what they seem to be. Intel is dunking on AMD’s mobile offerings, namely the Ryzen 7020 series and its complicated branding schema. The « blue camp » compares the Zen 2-based Ryzen 5 7520U to snake oil, claiming « there’s a long history of selling half-truths to unsuspecting customers. »
AMD often continues using older technology to offer customers more affordable products, a great strategy for those with tight budgets or those who do not need the latest and greatest. The problem is that the recent rebranding, besides being confusing, makes the old tech look like new. Intel’s « Core Truth » points fingers at that approach, roasting the Ryzen 5 7520U for being built on the dated Zen 2 architecture from 2019 and trying to look like a more advanced product from 2022.
