We are calling this the ‘Top 3 Processors of 2021!' however that isn't strictly correct since AMD launched Zen 3 late in 2020. What you really need to know is that Intel 12th Gen is better than we expected and has gone head-to-head with AMD's finest. Game on!

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025.
