Core i5-1235U vs. Ryzen 5 5625U - Which is best for gaming and general use?

[@BrueComputing]

You can find our follow up video, looking at performance of the i5-1240P, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpO5mqCJptx5nac

[@therealmichaelphelps]

This is a really well done comparison. Because the 1235u is often for sale around the same price Of the ryzen 5600u and this really puts it into perspective how close they are. Someone mentioned that the H series would be a lot better, of course it is, it also cost a lot more to, I think this is a good apples to apples comparison of the U series for both. 12th gen really is a big leap ahead of 11th gen and I think either one outside of gaming would be a good choice for anybody.

[@marciomcm2736]

Great video! Very well explained, with a considerable amount of benchmarks. Very well done! 😁

Hey, thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@antonaleksandrov]

Nice review. As laptop user - i would love to hear more about noise, batter life and options to upgrade RAM . Regarding CPU usage - yes, the thermal (well, just which of them gets hotter/louder) and performance in day-to-day tasks - like multi tab browsing, photoshop, thunderbird mail and streaming with zoom.

[@BrueComputing]

Hey, thanks! I have separate videos looking at the laptops as well. Dell Inspiron 14 5425 (Ryzen 5625U): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGTTgmuuZ7dppaM Dell Inspiron 16 5620 (Core i5-1235U): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJiVpHuVlNp6oZo

Out of the cheap laptops, HP 250 G9 has 2 RAM sockets, while other laptops usually only have 1 RAM socket and often 8 GB of RAM welded to the motherboard. Not using Dual Channel with an integrated graphics is a performance hit.

I think you need to include 0.1% or 1% Low in your gaming test, to see the stability.

[@eekala9531]

The question that I also wonder.

[@fergus247]

No but there is no reason to get more than 60 hz because the laptop will likely not be able to do much more fps than that

[@familhagaudir8561]

I am hesitating alot for a laptop and this comparaison was very helpful, thank you. I was concerned with the lower L1 and L2 cache of the Ryzen, but it dosen't translate in lower gaming performance. Since the laptop option with Ryzen 5625U core is much cheaper ( 650 vs 800 ), I'll endure the smaller 2X4GB soldered ram. I think it has an open spot for another ram stick anyway if I really want more ( keeping in mind the RAM stick must be of a compatible model ). Plenty of games to comfortably run with that anyway. Again, great detailed analysis.

[@fergus247]

If u want to do gaming you need at least 16gb ram and it should be dual channel caus the igpu shares the ram and dual channel ram is a big boost in performance

[@johns818]

[@gogreengameon2146]

Hey James, in this video does the i5-1235U have the integrated Intel Iris Xe, or the older Intel UHD graphics built in? Just did some reading as saw that some 12th Gen processors come with the older Intel UHD integrated graphics setup, and was curious if this had any impact on results. I'm still shopping around for the right laptop for myself and wondered about this. Many thanks!

[@BrueComputing]

The i5-1235U has the same Iris XeE with 80 EU as the 11th generation Core i5 chips. The 12th generation i3 graphics is branded as UHD - its the same Xe LP Architecture but with only 64 EUs enabled - a slight increase vs. the 11th generation i3 models which were 48 EU.

[@rajamanu8726]

Most important thing Power Consumption, you missed that, you didn't talked about battery life, thermals.

[@BrueComputing]

Battery life and thermals are really laptop specific so outside the scope of what I was looking at - both systems have similar power behaviour however - boosting up to 30W short term boost, then falling down to 20W and then back down to 15W.

[@rahulsarawagi99]

Please also share benchmarks of some other new intel laptops CPUs like 1220P, 1240P, 1260P, 12500H, etc.

[@BrueComputing]

I'd really love to if some companies would like to supply me with test systems - unfortunately I have to buy them myself currently and so can only get one or two in at a time to test then sell on. I'm hoping to get an i5-1240P to look at next (as I just sold the i5-1235U system) but affordable options are few and far between here at the moment.

Thanks - I didn't compare power usage in full but I don't believe the i5 idled much lower than the Ryzen.

[@mordathbleakwind]

@@BrueComputing Thanks for the answer, another question if it's not bother you. Is 12th gen power consumption still consistently lower if you use it for let's say ms office or watch videos?

[@Asifkhan-lj6qm]

what is the average temperature difference between the 2 processors while you do gaming ?

[@evansmith87]

Some laptops have the power of the i5-1253U capped at 15W, and some others allow 25W, which will result in a much better performance for the i5-1235U. There is not much info about this online, but it appears Lenovo laptops allow the 5-1253U to run at 25W.

Can you say something about the thermals of both chips? I've just bought a Dell Vostro with the Ryzen 5 5625u, but it heats A LOT. I don't know if it's the chip's fault or a design flaw by Dell, but I'm actually considering returning it (it has 14 days return policy) and getting the i5 1235u version instead, even if the performance will be slightly worse. The one I got heats up so much that it's actually uncomfortable to use, and Dell made the cooling in such a way that all the hot air is being blown STRAIGHT at the display, which I'm concerned may damage the display in the long term

[@nikitazaycev8636]

Lpddr4x means non-upgradeable, avoid that junk. the 2nd amd based ideapad should have at least 1 slot, so it gonna be upgradeable + repairable (ram fail sometimes, believe it or not). Also ryzen is more advanced tech, built on 7nm and has better battery life. 2 advantages right there for the amd laptop. Dont pay for obsolete intel hot junk unless its a bargain or someth.

Are you sure you do use iris xe and not UHD? Because other tests say iris xe is like 60% faster than vega8 (not even your vega7).

Sooo close, it truly depends what you use it for. And the alure of "efficiency cores" is great if you plan to take the laptop on trips or places. But, the old way of thinking of 6 cores with SMT.. it just works. So what is better? Eh, I don't know... they are so close.

[@siddharthmishra1061]

I wanted to point out that you are using a ryzen 5 on a 14 inch display and comparing it with i5 on a 16 inch display, so wouldn't it affect the performance, as rendering and processing for that extra 2 inches WILL have some impact, won't it?

[@BrueComputing]

I wouldn't expect a particular difference in performance in this case - both have similar cooling solutions and displays are the same resolution. Both operate in more or less the same power ranges as well. Of course an apples-to-apples comparison would have been better, but I buy these systems myself and record reviews and disassembly/upgrade guides, so wanted one of each. I was happy making the comparison though - if you look inside the 16" version (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jbkoOkbtaYmqs) you can actually see there is a load of dead space as the 14" and 16" internals are basically the same, the 16" just has a longer cable to attach the I/O board on the left side.

Amd ryzen is on a highly power optimized EUV manufacturing process thanks to TSMC where as intel 7 process is multi patterning manufacturing process that's less effective in low power chips. For that reason ryzen can drive clock speeds higher without spending a lot of power intel needs to keep clock speed lower to reduce powerconsumption.

Single core 5500u < 1135g7 < 5600u < 1235u . For programming any of the above cpu is fine, however intel tends to be better for python a bit. For programming apart from cpu ram is also important and if win 11 os 8 gb is not sufficient and min is 16 gb. Better to ensure it is upgradable upto 32gb to be future proof - not mandatory but better. With amd you get more cores and little weak cores, whereas in Intel you get less cores and stronger cores.
