Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

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.

Comparison of the two processors

Both the Intel Core i5-1035G1 and the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U are processors for mobile devices. Both are therefore used almost exclusively in notebooks or tablets. They are located in the lower to middle price segment.

Both processors are quad-core models, so they both have 4 processor cores. Both processors also support hyperthreading technology, but they are fundamentally different in the rigging of the cores.

The Intel Core i5-1035G1 has a base clock of only 1.00 gigahertz, with the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U it is more than twice as high with 2.10 gigahertz. In turbo mode, however, both processors come closer again, here the Intel Core i5-1035G1 clocks with up to 3.60 gigahertz and the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U even a little higher with up to 3.70 gigahertz. Both of them do not have a free multiplier, so they cannot be overclocked.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U was launched in the first quarter of 2019, making it almost six months older than the Intel Core i5-1035G1, which was launched in the third quarter of 2019.

Both processors are specified with a TDP of only 15 watts, whereby the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U is still manufactured in the 12 nanometer process, the Intel Core i5-1035G1, however, in the 10 nanometer process. This could indicate a slightly higher power consumption in the AMD model.

When it comes to RAM, there are also significant differences. Here, with the Intel Core i5-1035G1 modules of the type DDR4 with up to 3200 megahertz and LPDDR4 modules with up to 3733 can be operated. The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U is set to DDR4 modules and these may not clock higher than 2400 megahertz. The maximum memory size is limited to 64 gigabytes for the Intel Core i5-1035G1, and 32 gigabytes for the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U.
