Intel Core i7-3517UE vs AMD Ryzen 5 7640H

The Intel Core i7-3517UE is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 1.70 GHz (2.80 GHz). The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640H clocks with 4.30 GHz (5.00 GHz), has 6 CPU cores and can calculate 12 threads in parallel.

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.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to 16 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core i7-3517UE, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7640H supports a maximum of 256 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 120.0 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core i7-3517UE has a TDP of 17 W. The TDP of the AMD Ryzen 5 7640H is 54 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core i7-3517UE has 4.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 22 nm. The cache of AMD Ryzen 5 7640H is at 22.00 MB. The processor is manufactured in 4 nm.
