Comparison of the two processors

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.
