AMD markets Ryzen laptops as superior to Apple MacBook Neo for gaming

AMD launched a marketing campaign stating that its Ryzen‑based laptops can run all 20 games on a benchmark list, whereas Apple’s low‑cost MacBook Neo can run only five of them. The company’s website quotes the line “Everything MacBook Neo leaves out is built in with AMD Ryzen AI processors” and highlights access to Steam, Epic Games Store and PC Game Pass as advantages of Ryzen systems. Critics note that the comparison pits a Windows laptop against a macOS device that was never designed for gaming, and point out that the Radeon 740M iGPU in the Ryzen 5 220 chip used in the promotional material is not capable of delivering high performance on modern titles. The debate underscores the broader, ongoing Windows‑vs‑Mac discussion in the PC hardware market.
