When the Midrange of AMD Ryzen 5 can surpass Intel's fastest Core i7 series on the most important loads of multiple cables, it is much easier to recommend AMD over Intel on a budget to integrate laptop tiers .
AMD has been steadily consuming Intel's market share in the mobile world and its latest Zen 3 architecture shows no signs of slowing down. The performance benefits are especially hard to ignore especially after measuring the Ryzen 5 5600U CPU as with this AMD midrange offering it can surpass Intel's advantages in many cases.
Based on our time with the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 running on the Ryzen 5 5600U, the 6-core AMD processor can offer anywhere between 70 to 100 percent faster cable performance than the Core i7-1165G7, 7-1185G7 , or even the i7-1195G7 according to CineBench benchmarks. Other applications that rely on multiple cable performance later will favor the Ryzen 5 5600U with wider genes including HWBOT x265, 7-Zip, and Blender.
Delta performance can be largely due to differences in cores and threads between AMD and Intel U series CPUs. Although the Ryzen 5 5600U includes 6 cores and 12 cores (or even 8 cores and 16 cores in the Ryzen 7 5800U), the entire Intel 11th gen Core i7 U-series system is limited on 4 cores and only 8 threads. Benches that do not rely on high-performance CPU performance, such as single-thread performance or immature images, tend to favor Intel as a result. 3DMark and CineBench benchmarks for Intel single series are approximately 30 to 45 percent and 5 to 10 percent more, respectively, compared to the Ryzen 5 5600U.
If you are looking to maximize the performance of the U-series processor, then the AMD model could be your best bet as it tends to sell at cheaper prices than Intel. On the other hand, users who want to maximize the performance of integrated images may want to consider an 11th gen Core i7 model instead. Intel no longer has the best of both worlds in this regard.
