AMD's Ryzen puts pressure on Intel

Alienware has an AMD option

Dell's next Alienware M15 will ship with an AMD Ryzen 5000 CPU, in a move which is rather bad news for Intel.

It is starting to look like AMD's sales teams are convincing more vendors to include Ryzen processor options.

Twitter leaker Rogame, who has uncovered laptop benchmark listings found shedloads of Alienware M15 R5 laptops. Dell is only selling the Alienware M15 and R3 and R4 with a 10th-generation Intel Core CPU.

If the benchmarks are correct,  Alienware M15 R5 will offer different Ryzen CPU options. The top-end variant appears to be powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, while two mother variants will ship with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and either an RTX 3070 or RTX 3060 GPU.

The three Alienware M15 Ryzen Edition R5 models will come equipped with 16GB RAM, an NVMe SSD and the same 15-inch FHD 144Hz display panel as the Alienware M15 models.

However, this is not the only foot in the door that AMD sales teams have made. The incoming Razer Blade 14 will use an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card.

It looks like the next-generation Dell G15 and HP Omen 15 laptops will be available with AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs and Nvidia RTX 3000 graphics.

All this means that Intel is starting to lose ground.
