INTEL vs AMD LAPTOPS! Which CPU is better and what to buy?

What laptop should you buy and what CPU you shold opt for: Intel or AMD?

[MikeC]

Without any doubts, this was one of the best CPU comparisons for a laptop I have seen to date. My wife has an Intel Core i7 10th Gen CPU (RAZER Gaming Laptop) and I have an AMD Ryzen 7 series 5000 CPU (Lenovo Legion 5) laptop. They are have slightly different configurations, but performance specs are similar. I really like how fast the AMD starts up and is operational, but I have seen a few differences when it comes to running a couple of applications. The NERO Video Downloader runs great on the Intel based Laptop, but doesn’t work very well on the AMD unit. It keeps asking for some weird app to be installed, which I did, like a dozen times, but it still struggles to complete the download task. I have noticed that my wife’s unit does seem to run a little hotter too compared to my unit. If I had to rely on one brand of CPU I would probably stick with the Intel CORE i7, or higher, CPU just because of application compatibility. Office Apps all run great on either unit so there’s no real difference there.

With this quality of videos , I'm sure you'll be one of the most popular tech channels out there, ! Amazing 👏

Very vivid explanation with an absolute amazing video to watch for. Thank You, Sir. For me I shall go with the AMD version. AMD all the way.👍

AMD still cheaper with almost similar performance with intel, and less throttling or stable, so clearly, i will choose AMD over intel

I was skeptical for upgrading my 10th gen laptop to AMD but once i took the risk man i love it!! 7735HS is really cool and gets the job done effortlessly

It's true that in terms of temperature AMD is the winner, but with another type of laptop such as the Victus or the Omen with a decent cooling the core i7 doesn't seem to heat up at least after 1 month of use either for classical tasks or while playing. That said I am a bit disappointed by the power consumption which seems exaggerated, I saw in another comparison that the battery life decreases by half with a core i7 compared to an AMD Ryzen 7.

I concur with you bossman. Im not gonna want to use a computer that is too hot to hold. I would have for sure went with the AMD as well. The computer that I used for school had a Ryzen5 in it and it was doing complex math and running a pretty sophisticated drafting program and I never had a minutes problem with it

[Joyos]

Thank you for this comparison, since I saw a video where they compared the i7 to the Ryzen 9, which didn't seem like apples to apples to me.

Great work! Really clarifying, thanks for information and cheers from Brasil!

[dmytronazarenkov]

great video! one moment missing: battery life. in similar scenarios intel powered laptops will be dead while AMD powered will have 50%. I'm not talking about gaming from battery, just regular UX

[yohannesassefa]

I think the reputation intel has made is its strength. In fact intel machines are powerful and efficient but sometimes it doesn't hurt to not let intiution win

Just found out about your channel! I love your reviews so honest and engaging, keep up the good work !!!!

[dondunn]

Thanks for the review just looking at buying lenovo idealpad 5 so after your review Im favouring the AMD !

[johnhricko]

Well done! I lean toward more efficiency. I'm saving up for an M2... (lol)....

[mihaifrincu]

Great review, as always!

By any chance, have u made and plan to make a review for Asus Flow Z13?

[zifreael]

Awesome review. you earned a sub from me. Looking forward for more videos like this!

Hi. For use with photoshop, lightroom and some game (god of war, ...), between these two laptops what is the best choice?
1) LENOVO Ideapad Pro 5i Intel i5 13500h, lppdr 16gb 5200hz, rtx 3050 6gb
or
2) LENOVO Ideapad Pro 5 AMD Ryzen 5 7640hs, lppdrx 16gb 6400hz, rtx 3050 6gb
?

Great video, you are doing an amazing job. May I suggest that you add some more information and links to those notebooks to buy into the "more" section below the video. I don't feel bad having a transparently announced and provided affiliate link to click on. 👍

I love your videos. So glad I found your channel. I have no doubt that you are going to be very successfull on Youtube.

For me it’s just as important for user experience than just price and speed. If you like to game a lot like most of us do you don’t want the machine to get hot. Being born in the 90s were used to machines that got hot. I’m old school will always pick amd or intel.
