CPU Cores and Base Frequency

In addition to the number of CPU cores and threads, you can see here whether the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U or Intel Core i3-1115G4 can be overclocked. You will also find the clock frequencies of the processor (single-core and multi-core) here. The number of CPU cores greatly affects the speed of the processor.

Internal Graphics

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U or Intel Core i3-1115G4 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die. A processor with integrated graphics is also called APU (Accelerated Processing Unit).

Hardware codec support

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.

Memory & PCIe

The memory type as well as the amount of memory can greatly affect the speed of the processor. The memory bandwidth depends on several factors and is given in gigabytes per second.

Thermal Management

The Thermal Design Power (TDP for short) specifies the necessary cooling solution to cool the processor sufficiently. The TDP usually only gives a rough idea of the real consumption of a CPU.

Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.

In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.

Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.

Blender is a free 3D graphics software for rendering (creating) 3D bodies, which can also be textured and animated in the software. The Blender benchmark creates predefined scenes and measures the time (s) required for the entire scene. The shorter the time required, the better. We selected bmw27 as the benchmark scene.

V-Ray is a 3D rendering software from the manufacturer Chaos for designers and artists. Unlike many other render engines, V-Ray is capable of so-called hybrid rendering, in which the CPU and GPU work together at the same time.

However, the CPU benchmark we used (CPU Render Mode) only uses the system's processor. The working memory used plays a major role in the V-Ray benchmark. For our benchmarks we use the fastest RAM standard approved by the manufacturer (without overclocking).

Due to the high compatibility of V-Ray (including Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, SketchUp, Unreal Engine and Blender), it is a frequently used software. With V-Ray, for example, photorealistic images can be rendered that laypeople cannot distinguish from normal photos.

News and articles for the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U and the Intel Core i3-1115G4

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U is a 6-core processor that supports Hyperthreading technology, giving it 12 logical cores (threads). The Intel Core i3-1115G4 only has 2 physical cores, but also supports Hyperthreading, which means that it has a maximum of 4 computing threads. The 6 cores of the AMD processor clock at up to 4.00 gigahertz, the Intel processor clocks a little higher at up to 4.10. Since these are mobile processors, as mentioned at the beginning, there is no free multiplier, so the CPUs cannot be overclocked.

An internal graphics unit is integrated in both processors for this purpose. The AMD Radeon 7 Graphics (Renoir) is used in the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U. This graphics unit has a fixed clock frequency of 1.80 gigahertz and has 7 execution units with 448 shaders. The iGPU, manufactured using the 7-nanometer process, achieves an FP32 computing performance (single precision) of 1612 GigaFLOPS. The Intel UHD Graphics (Tiger Lake G4) is integrated in the Intel Core i3-1115G4. This graphics unit clocks at up to 1.25 gigahertz and has 48 execution units with 384 shaders. The iGPU, which is manufactured using the 10-nanometer process, achieves an FP32 computing power (single precision) of 960 GigaFLOPS and is therefore significantly slower.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U supports up to 32 GB of DDR4-3200 memory. With the Intel Core i3-1115G4, 64 GB of DDR4-3200 or LPDDR4X 3733 RAM can be operated.
