How many rows each one leads. Not the verdict: a Bluetooth version and CPU performance cannot carry the same weight.
Clock speed and core count are not directly comparable across architectures, so Kacbu does not score them: it prints them and leaves the decision to the fields that can be measured. AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 leads: overall 52 against 48.
There is not enough data to decide Graphics / Gaming.
AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 leads on Efficiency.
There is not enough data to decide AI.
AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 leads: overall 52 against 48.
Comparison confidence: Low. 9 of 20 comparable specifications are present on both, and 1 independent signal decided it.
