Ryzen 5 5500U vs i5 1135g7 Reddit

If the Ryzen was a 5700U, I'd recommend that, but the i5 has only two less cores than the 5500U and has better single threaded performance, making using the laptop snappy.

The Iris Xe has similar performance but drivers have been hit or miss with some games. Dual channel memory is important for integrated graphics, and if the Intel laptop has 4266 memory I'd pick that, as drivers have been slowly improving.

Better yet, try to find a laptop with an Nvidia MX350, it will outperform both integrated graphics. Maybe even an RTX 3050 if your budget allows.

I would like to buy a laptop for the next 5 years. I mostly do browsing, movies, MS Word, typical student stuff, but I would also like to do some light gaming (like GTA V). I would also like to be able to have a laptop which wont be very slow in year 4 or 5 for general tasks.

Which of the processors mentioned in the title would be better for these purposes? Tried looking it up on versus sites, but I got no clear answer. Thanks!

Hey lads, so i've found two laptops that fit right in what my budget allows, however, i have come to a dilemma and i need help to see which one i'll pick:

1- Gateway Ultra Slim (GWTN156-9)

Intel i5-1135G7

16GB RAM (not sure if it's dual channel)

512gb SSD (SATA M.2)

15.6 inch screen (1920x1080)

2- Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17ALC6 (82KV003MUS)

AMD Ryzen 5 5500u

8GB RAM (One memory soldered to systemboard, one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot, dual-channel capable)

512gb SSD (NVME M.2)

17.3 inch screen (1600x900)

Will be using it mostly for gaming. Need a hand right here!

Thanks

Quite comparable, depends on workloads/games Hardware Unboxed 5500U review

Personally, I would go with intel to avoid AMD drivers and it has larger screen. I don't know if intel drivers for Xe are any better or if drivers have issues in games.

AMD drivers usually work perfectly in games, but for general usage in windows, there are a lot of bugs. Half working HW acceleration is probably most noticable, various versions of drivers will do some annoying stuff, for example, current drivers will by default auto-enable color temp.

So, I'm getting a new laptop, mostly for work related stuff. But I do play games like Eu4, Victoria 2, HOI 4 other paradox games quite a bit. I'd have liked a desktop pc but I move around too much for that to be viable.

So, I'm aware that Eu4 is mostly CPU based. Now here's what I can see:

Intel i5 11300h has a base clock speed of 3.10 GHz and a turbo upto 4.40 GHz

The Intel i5 1135G7 has a base clock speed of 2.40 GHz and a turbo upto 4.20 GHz

Ryzen 5500U has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a turbo upto 4 GHz

For light gaming, the Intel is probably slightly better. The caveat is that neither chip will play most modern AAA games, even at very low settings.

For mutithreaded CPU tasks, the AMD chip is clearly better. That being said, you won't notice much different between the two in day to day usage.

Personally, I would look at any other differences in the laptops in questions: battery life, screen quality, ram configuration (if one has dual channel and the other doesn't, go with the dual channel option), etc.

This is a new CPU on the block and has a TDP of 15W nominal. Looks like a great alternative to 1135G7?

Any pitfalls? this seems to be the perfect low power mini PC

level 1

Maybe Linux compatibility GPU acceleration/video glitches if you want to use a less-than-always-current Linux distro. But that said, I've had pretty good luck with almost everything I've thrown at the 5500U in the ASUS pn51, so you may be just fine.

level 2

Saw it a few days ago, loved the video and subscribed to the channel! I guess the 5625u could easily reach more wattage with AMD Tuning Utility, isn't it?

Personally, I'd go with the Vivobook.

The differences between the i5 and Ryzen 5 are not too significant, but 16GB RAM is significantly more than 8GB (not just twice as much, also more future proof).

But, to me the icing on the case is Asus vs Lenovo. Simply put, while their customer service isn't much to look at, the difference in build quality is likely to be significant. A buddy of mine worked for over a year as a geeksquad "technician" in a very busy shop (he fixed hundreds if not over a thousand laptops), while he got an occasional Asus that needed a fix, there were far more Lenovo. Also, interesting: Alienware/Dell tend to cook themselves, HP and Acer are the worse offenders in terms of build quality, and hinges is an important thing to look at when it comes to build quality (apparently it's a problem across most brands).

This may or may not be anecdotal evidence, but i have two Asus laptops, turning 8 and 4 respectively (both bought around February). They saw very heavy use, and both traveled a lot (the older one's travel is below), so I personally trust Asus. You may or may not have the same experience, but I enjoyed them both a lot throughout their lives.

The travels!

Israel>Australia>Israel>Canada meaning it actually went around the globe at least once! It's a lovely laptop, currently enjoying retirement (daily light use) with a relative.
