AMD started the CPU battle this year with its new Zen 5 processors.

AMD provided good gen-on-gen improvements in productivity apps, but it was largely still competitive with Intel ’s 14th -gen offerings.

In the best situations, in the worst situations, they were flat-out worse than older options.

AMD 's Zen 5 CPUs saw very little interest from buyers when they released.

AMD and Intel designed their new architectures for laptops.

Zen 5 and Lunar Lake seem specifically designed to take advantage of the shift in Windows laptops.

By doubling-down on architectures for desktop and mobile, the consequences of focus show up here.

Here’s to hope the next generation doesn’t continue that trend.
