AMD Ryzen 7 7735U vs Intel Core 5 processor 120U
Last updated:
Summary
The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U and the Intel Core 5 Processor 120U are modern mobile processors designed for energy efficiency and balanced performance in thin and light laptops.
They are aimed at users for everyday tasks, study, and business applications. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U is based on the Zen 3+ architecture (Rembrandt) and is manufactured using the 6 nm process. It features a 4 MB L2 cache and a 16 MB L3 cache. This advanced architecture enables high performance, particularly in multi-core applications and single-core performance.
The Intel Core 5 Processor 120U utilizes the Raptor Lake U architecture and is manufactured using a 10 nm process, with a 12 MB L2 cache. For everyday performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735U shows convincing single-core and multi-core performance, making it well-suited for more demanding tasks.
The Intel Core 5 Processor 120U offers reliable performance for typical productivity applications and web browsing. In gaming scenarios, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735U, with its integrated AMD Radeon 680M graphics, offers significantly stronger graphics performance than the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80 (Alder Lake) of the Intel Core 5 Processor 120U.
The maximum memory bandwidth of AMD is 51 GB/s, while Intel reaches 102 GB/s, which can accelerate Intel's data access in certain applications. Both U-series processors are optimized for optimal energy efficiency and long battery life in mobile devices. An assessment of the price-performance ratio is difficult without specific laptop prices, as the processors are sold as part of complete systems.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U is excellent for users who value above-average graphics performance and multitasking capabilities. The Intel Core 5 Processor 120U is a good choice for users who prefer stable performance for everyday tasks in an efficient package.
