If we consider the latest ultraportable laptops or pc then most of the time the most dominant processor chips included under the hood would come from Intel corporation. These latest Core mobile CPUs from Intel, always have the ultraportables and hybrid designs under consideration.
The latest releases from Intel's Core mobile CPUs offers improved graphics processing and on top of that still stretch battery life. These latest processors, identifiable by model numbers in the 8000s, 9000s, and 10000s (one example is Core i7-8550U), also feature more cores than their predecessors.
Nowadays, you will already get true quad-core CPU in your Core i5 laptop, with more power than an older dual-core. Dual-core chips live on, though, in the form of the cheaper Intel Pentium and Celeron CPUs that mostly power Chromebooks and entry-level laptops.
Moreover, the AMD's own line of processors also offers enhanced performance at low prices, but it can't match the efficiency gains of Intel's latest chips. Also, you'll see the latest Mobile Ryzen chips in some budget and midrange machines, along with a select few models featuring AMD's Mobile Ryzen plus Vega graphics.
Lastly, whether you decide to go with Intel or AMD, you would always get an integrated graphics subsystem adequate for graphics tasks, unless you're a part-time gamer or a CAD user. High-end discrete graphics-processing units are terrific for 3D games, transcoding 1080p video, or watching 4K movies, but like fast processors, they also feast on laptop batteries.
