@demi honestly this was true before ryzen came out and even intel CPUs in the ryzen era now. that might just be because i've only used them in mobile devices, and the variation between those old intel CPUs is INSANE. the laptop i used when i was 15 had an i7-4200M in it and that's still faster now than my surface pro with the i7-8250U (although i believe that's a case of wattage and something about the surface is just Wrong)
