Comparison of the two processors

The Intel Core i5-1135G7 was launched in the third quarter of the year 2020, is manufactured in the 10-nanometer procedure and is based on the "Tiger Lake U" architecture. Based on the supported base "BGA 1526" one recognizes that the processors are a model for the mobile range, so it is preferably used in laptops. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U is also a mobile processor (socket FP6), but it came on the market only in the first quarter of 2021 and is a good half year younger. It is based on Zen 2 architecture (Codename Lucienne) and is manufactured IMM 7 nanometer.

The Intel Core i5-1135G7 is a processor with 4 cores. These cores have a basic clock frequency of 2.40 gigahertz and a maximum turboache frequency of 4.20 gigahertz. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, on the other hand, has 6 processor cores, but both the basic clock frequency, with 2.10 gigahertz, as well as the maximum turboache frequency, with 4.00 gigahertz, each lower. Hyper-threading technology is equally supported by both processors.

Both processors have an internal graphic unit, which is very powerful in both cases. In the Intel Core I5-1135G7, the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 80 (Tiger Lake U) is used. This graphics unit has 80 execution units with a total of 640 shaders and clocks up to 1.30 gigahertz. Hereby the IGPU reaches a FP32 computing power of 1611 Gigaflops. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U is installed the AMD Radeon 7 Graphics (Renoir). This graphic unit achieves a FP32 computing power of 1612 gigaFlops with its 7 execution units and 448 shades.

The two processors each have 2 memory channels with which they support the operation of DDR4-3200 or LPDDR4x-4266 memory modules. The Intel Core i5-1135G7 can be operated with up to 64 gigabytes of memory, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, however, with a maximum of 32 gigabytes.
