AMD Says $610 Ryzen 5 Laptops Beat MacBook Neo by Up to 57%

Summary
AMD used a $610 HP Omnibook X Flip with a Ryzen 5 220 to argue its budget Windows laptops outperform Apple’s MacBook Neo in selected workloads.
The chipmaker said the system delivers up to 57% higher performance than Apple’s A18 Pro in certain computing tasks, along with double the SSD capacity, more ports and newer Wi-Fi.
AMD also leaned on gaming, saying 15 of the 20 most popular titles do not run natively on the MacBook Neo platform, though the cited Radeon 740M iGPU is itself limited to older or lighter games.
The comparison is largely a marketing push: the Ryzen 5 220 is a rebranded Zen 4-era part, and the MacBook Neo is not positioned as a gaming machine, underscoring that the products target different buyers.
