AMD Ryzen 3 7320U vs Intel Core 5 processor 120U
Last updated:
Summary
The AMD Ryzen 3 7320U (Mendocino, Zen 2) is an AMD mobile processor for efficient, lightweight notebooks.
The Intel Core 5 processor 120U (Raptor Lake U) is an Intel mobile processor for similar energy-efficient devices, offering balanced everyday performance.
The AMD Ryzen 3 7320U is manufactured using a 6 nm process, offers 4 cores/8 threads (2 MB L2, 4 MB L3 cache), and features AMD Radeon 610M graphics (44 GB/s memory bandwidth). It shows solid single- and multi-core performance in Geekbench 6. The Intel Core 5 processor 120U uses a 10 nm process with a hybrid architecture (typ.
10 cores/12 threads, 12 MB L2 cache) and Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80 (102 GB/s memory bandwidth). The Intel graphics are superior to the Radeon 610M; direct benchmark comparisons are missing for Intel. Both "U" processors have a low TDP of approx. 15 Watts; the 6 nm process of the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U potentially offers higher efficiency.
The AMD Ryzen 3 7320U is positioned as a cost-effective solution for basic tasks. The Intel Core 5 processor 120U, with its architecture and graphics performance, potentially serves a higher segment. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320U is an efficient choice for budget-conscious users.
The Intel Core 5 processor 120U offers better graphics performance and potentially higher multi-thread performance for more demanding applications.
