Intel Core 5 processor 120U vs AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS
Last updated:
Summary
The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is a mobile processor that was launched in early 2023 and is designed for performance in gaming and content creation.
The Intel Core 5 processor 120U was introduced in late 2023 and is a mobile chip designed for energy efficiency and battery life for everyday tasks in thin laptops.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is based on the 6 nm Rembrandt architecture (Zen 3+) and features 8 cores and 16 threads, complemented by 4 MB Level 2 and 16 MB Level 3 cache. Its maximum memory bandwidth is 51 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 processor 120U uses the 10 nm Raptor Lake U architecture and has a hybrid configuration of 2 performance and 8 efficiency cores (10 cores and 12 threads in total), as well as 12 MB Level 2 cache.
It achieves a maximum memory bandwidth of 102 GB/s. In terms of performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS offers significantly higher multi-core performance and strong single-core performance. The Intel Core 5 processor 120U has solid single-core performance for everyday tasks but does not match the multi-core performance of the AMD processor.
For gaming, the integrated AMD Radeon 680M graphics unit of the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is clearly superior and also enables more demanding titles. The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80 (Alder Lake) of the Intel Core 5 processor 120U is more suitable for casual gaming and multimedia.
Regarding power consumption, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS has a higher TDP of 35-45 watts to deliver maximum performance. The Intel Core 5 processor 120U, on the other hand, is designed with a TDP of 15 watts for energy efficiency and longer battery life. The price-performance ratio of both processors heavily depends on the respective laptop model.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is found in more powerful devices, while the Intel Core 5 processor 120U is built into more efficient, often more budget-conscious models. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is ideal for content creation and gaming thanks to its high multi-core performance and superior integrated graphics.
The Intel Core 5 processor 120U is excellent for users who value energy efficiency, long battery life, and everyday tasks.
