Intel Core 5 processor 120U vs AMD Ryzen 5 7535U
Last updated:
Summary
The AMD Ryzen 5 7535U is a mobile processor from AMD, based on the energy-efficient Rembrandt architecture (Zen 3+) and manufactured using a 6 nm process.
It is designed for mainstream notebooks that require balanced performance for everyday tasks and multitasking. Its single-core performance is strong, and multi-core performance is robust. The integrated AMD Radeon 660M offers respectable graphics performance for less demanding games with 51 GB/s of memory bandwidth.
The Intel Core 5 processor 120U is a mobile processor from Intel, based on the Raptor Lake U architecture and manufactured using a 10 nm process.
It is also aimed at thin laptops and delivers reliable performance for productivity and media consumption. Detailed benchmark results are not available to us, but solid performance for common applications is to be expected. Its integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80 (Alder Lake) benefits from 102 GB/s of memory bandwidth and is suitable for casual gaming.
Both U-series processors are designed for energy efficiency and can be found in laptops with a good price-performance ratio. For users who value stronger single-core performance and high efficiency, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535U is the more suitable choice. The Intel Core 5 processor 120U offers solid and reliable performance for daily use, with its integrated graphics benefiting from higher memory bandwidth.
The final choice depends on the specific application area.
