AMD claims Panther Lake has 'too much baggage' for handheld PC use — fights back after Intel jabs AMD for using 'ancient silicon' in its Z2 series APUs

AMD responds to Intel's criticism of its Z2 chips by asserting that Intel's Panther Lake mobile chips are not suitable for handheld use due to carrying "too much baggage." AMD emphasizes the importance of purpose-built chips for handheld devices, highlighting the need for high graphics capabilities. The company argues that its handheld-specific chip is better suited for the market's demands. Additionally, AMD refutes claims about battery life and performance comparisons with Intel chips, stating that its own chips strike a balance between efficiency and performance. The ongoing competition between AMD and Intel in the CPU space is evident through these exchanges.
