Laptop CPU question

[tattywelshie]

Howdy! Ok...so im edging closer to getting myself a gaming laptop for IL2! I'm now stuck on what CPU I should go for, its a toss-up between the Ryzen 7 5800H or the i7 10870H. Looking at benchmarking, the Ryzen beats the I7, but I'm not sure if this counts for anything in the real world! So...what do you folks reckon? What is the better CPU for Il2 and flight sims in general?

Desktop 5000 series Ryzen beat the Intel CPU's in this game.  I think their mobile version should do the same, but i don't have experience with gaming on Laptop.

Well, Ryzen desktops based on 5x00X are better than 10th gen Intel for IL-2. The SYNVANDER benchmark show that.

 

But we have the new 11th gen from Intel and their single-threaded performance is surpassing the Ryzens 5x00X:

We still need to see if this is translated in better performance for IL-2. So If I were you I would try those new laptops based on the 11th gen, for example i7-11375H:

Cheers for the heads up re the 11th gen chips! Not that many laptops with that in at moment so might wait a month or two and see if more come online

Wait for Tiger Lake H45. It will be better than cezanne.

And they are out and as good as expected, especially in terms of IPC and single core performance (better than Ryzen). Anyone try one in IL-2 yet in vr? I'm still running an i7-9750H 6 core with max all core clock of around 4 GHZ and it leaves a lot to be desired with IL-2's unoptimized game engine in VR (especially in single player).

Bump, anyone test tiger lake h45 in il2 yet? Specifically the i7-11800h?
