Intel’s new architectural and core count design for the Alder Lake laptop chips results in strong multi-threaded performance numbers.

While AMD’s new Ryzen 9 6900HS inside a physically larger laptop may be quicker in our testing – particularly in longer duration benchmarks. That’s due to the AMD chip running at 45W real-world versus the Core i9-12900H in the Flow being at 35W real-world.

Performance from Intel’s chip is good, particularly when factoring in the slim design of this gaming tablet/laptop.

With the ability to boost up to lofty frequencies on its new Alder Lake architecture, the Core i9-12900H-equipped Flow Z13 tops our Cinebench 1T chart by a very sizable margin! That speaks volumes about the lightly-threaded performance potential that is important for this tablet-style device.

With focus on multi-threaded operations, there is clear and measurable slowdown due to cooling and power limitations after extensive Cinebench runs.
