Critics' Consensus

“The Intel Core i9-11980HK delivers exceptional single-thread and multi-thread performance, outperforming AMD Ryzen 9 4800HS in gaming and content creation workloads. However, its high power consumption and thermal throttling in thin-and-light designs limit its effectiveness to well-cooled, high-end laptops.”
