We compare the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U 6 core processor released in Q1/2020 with the Intel Core i5-1035G1 which has 4 CPU cores and was introduced in Q3/2019.
The AMD Ryzen 5 4500U is a 6 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.30 GHz (4.00 GHz). The processor can compute 6 threads at the same time. The Intel Core i5-1035G1 clocks with 1.00 GHz (3.60 GHz), has 4 CPU cores and can calculate 8 threads in parallel.
Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.
Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.
A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.
Up to 64 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U, while the Intel Core i5-1035G1 supports a maximum of 64 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 59.6 GB/s enabled.
The AMD Ryzen 5 4500U has a TDP of 15 W. The TDP of the Intel Core i5-1035G1 is 15 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.
The AMD Ryzen 5 4500U has 8.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 7 nm. The cache of Intel Core i5-1035G1 is at 6.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 10 nm.

Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.

What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The multi-core benchmark evaluates the performance of all of the processor's CPU cores. Virtual thread improvements such as AMD SMT or Intel's Hyper-Threading have a positive impact on the benchmark result.

The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.
In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

In the comparison between the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and the Intel Core i5-1035G1, the AMD processor emerges as the narrow winner. The technical data of the two processors are not that different. While the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U has 6 CPU cores (6 threads), the Intel Core i5-1035G1 with its 4 CPU cores can process up to 8 threads simultaneously by using Hyper-Threading.
Since real CPU cores are always faster than virtual processors through Hyper-Threading, the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U is also around 20 percent faster than the Intel processor in multi-core applications. The clock frequencies of 4.0 GHz to 3.6 GHz (single-core clock) and 3.8 to 3.2 GHz (multi-core clock) with the AMD processor are above the Intel Core i5-1035G1.
Both processors are so-called APUs, i.e. these processors have an internal graphics unit, or iGPU for short. The AMD Ryzen 5 4500U relies on an AMD Radeon 6 Graphics (Renoir), which only has a higher graphics clock than the previous architecture. The Intel UHD Graphics (Ice Lake G1) is actually only a slightly improved previous version. Only with the new Intel Tiger Lake mobile processors (11th Gen) does a completely new and significantly faster graphics architecture find its way into Intel CPUs with the Intel Xe iGPUs.
Both the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U and the Intel Core i5-1035G1 are manufactured using the current manufacturing processes in 2020 in 7 nm (AMD or TSMC) and 10 nm (Intel) and are therefore quite economical. The fine structures also allow higher clock frequencies to be achieved.
Both processors support DDR4-3200 memory in two memory channels (dual-channel mode) with a capacity of 32 GB (AMD) or 64 GB (Intel). Since both processors are 15 watt CPUs that are built into mid-range notebooks, the maximum possible amount of memory is absolutely sufficient here.
