Show AMD Ryzen and Intel Core CPU Specs Compared Here's a quick table allowing you to quickly and easily see how each AMD Ryzen CPU compares to their Intel counterparts when it comes to
hardware specs. Intel Core i3 (12th Gen) vs Ryzen 3Desktop Mobile
We see the same trend on the mobile front - Intel's Core i3 CPUs emerge as winners if you're looking at maximum clock rates. However, AMD's mobile CPUs once again have higher base clock rates. Intel Core i5 (10th Gen) vs Ryzen 5Desktop Mobile
One area where they can fall short, however, is in memory expansion. Ryzen 5 CPUs support faster memory modules but they sometimes only support up to 64GB where Intel’s i5 chips are able to go up to 128GB. On the mobile front, again, Ryzen excelled when it came to power efficiency and graphics rendering. However, it clearly lagged behind Intel when it came to both base and boosted clock
speeds and cache size. Intel Core i7 (10th Gen) vs Ryzen 7Desktop Mobile
As opposed to previous generations of Ryzen chipsets, the third generation hardware here also surpasses previous limits to match Intel for 128GB of supported memory. Factor in the cache advantages inherent to AMD’s architecture and the case for choosing a Ryzen 7 CPU over an Intel Core i7 isn’t hard to hear. Things were a little closer when it came to Ryzen Mobile. The latest in Ryzen 7 mobile processors can’t match the thread and core count allowed for by Intel’s own Core i7 processors, nor can they keep up when it comes to clock speeds. That being said, the Vega graphics processing grunt that comes integrated with Ryzen 7 easily eclipses what you’re going to get out of Intel’s own in-house GPU. If the laptop you’re looking at also features a dedicated graphics card, that’s not necessarily going to be a big deal but, if it doesn’t and you’re keen to squeeze in some
gaming, then it’s going to probably be worth siding with AMD here. Intel Core i9 (10th Gen) vs Ryzen ThreadripperDesktop
Of course, it should also be noted that even the cheapest ThreadRipper consumes twice as much power as its i9 counterpart and that while the latter does include integrated graphics, they aren't any better than what you'll get out of the closest Intel Core i7 processor.

That being said the AMD Ryzen 5 series is still the undisputed champion when it comes to offering power efficiency. The AMD Ryzen CPU completely dominates Intel CPUs in this department. Even with the latest Intel i5 CPU, they required more power compared to the Ryzen 5 series.
Is Ryzen 5 better than i5 for gaming?In fact, the same can be said for any current-gen midrange or high-end CPU: they're all roughly equal in terms of gaming performance. But slight differences still count. When it comes to raw gaming performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X wins, even if only just.
