About Hardware AMD Ryzen 3 5300U

Released in 2021, the AMD Ryzen 3 5300U is a Zen 2 architecture-based mobile processor designed for ultrabook laptops and power-efficient devices. The processor comes with a configuration of 4 cores and 8 threads, a base speed of 2.6 GHz, and can increase to 3.8 GHz through the Boost feature. With a 7nm fabrication process, the Ryzen 3 5300U offers excellent power efficiency without sacrificing performance, making it an ideal choice for mid-range laptops that prioritize a balance between battery life and performance. With a TDP of only 15W, this processor is perfect for thin and light laptop designs without the need for a bulky cooling system.

One of the main advantages of the Ryzen 3 5300U is the presence of the Radeon Vega 6 integrated GPU with 6 Compute Units running at a frequency of 1500 MHz. This GPU provides competitive graphics performance for the integrated graphics segment, capable of running light games such as Valorant, CS:GO, or Genshin Impact at low-medium settings with decent frame rates. Compared to Intel's same-generation integrated graphics, the Vega 6 shows superior performance, especially when it comes to video acceleration and light graphics tasks.

In synthetic benchmarks like Cinebench R23, the Ryzen 3 5300U is able to score around 5147 points for multi-core and 990 points for single-core, making it one of the best entry-level processors for everyday use. This performance is capable enough for a variety of computing tasks, from browsing, multimedia, to productive work such as document processing, coding, and light editing for both photos and videos. Laptops with Ryzen 3 5300U can even run Windows 11 smoothly thanks to the support of modern architecture and the latest security features such as fTPM.

Testing was conducted on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14ALC6 device with 8GB DDR4 3200MHz dual channel RAM, Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems. The combination of the Ryzen 3 5300U processor and dual-channel RAM delivers highly responsive performance in everyday use, including when running multiple applications at once or opening a large number of browser tabs. Overall, the AMD Ryzen 3 5300U is the ideal processor for laptop users who need high performance with low power consumption and a price that remains affordable.

About Hardware Intel Core i9 11900F

The Intel Core i9-11900F, launched in 2021, is a high-end desktop processor from the 11th generation Rocket Lake family. Featuring 8 cores and 16 threads, this CPU is built for users who demand strong single-core performance in tasks such as gaming, creative workloads, and professional applications. With a base clock speed of 2.5 GHz and a boost clock up to 5.2 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, the i9-11900F delivers fast responsiveness and excellent performance in lightly threaded scenarios.

Manufactured on the 14nm process, the i9-11900F introduces architectural improvements over its predecessor, including a significant IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) gain, thanks to the new Cypress Cove core design. However, despite these gains, the reliance on the older 14nm node leads to higher power consumption and lower efficiency compared to AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series built on 7nm technology—especially in sustained multi-threaded workloads.

As an “F” series processor, the i9-11900F lacks integrated graphics, meaning it requires a dedicated GPU to operate. This makes it a better fit for gaming PCs or professional workstations that already include a discrete graphics card. While this may not be ideal for users seeking basic systems without a GPU, it allows Intel to price the CPU more competitively.

In benchmarks and real-world performance tests, the Core i9-11900F excels in gaming, offering frame rates comparable to top-tier CPUs when paired with a modern graphics card. It also performs well in productivity tasks such as photo editing, software development, and video rendering—though users working with highly threaded applications might benefit more from CPUs with higher core counts.

Overall, the Intel Core i9-11900F is a solid choice for enthusiast builders, gamers, and users looking for top-tier single-core performance, but it may not be the most efficient option for heavy multitasking or rendering workloads when compared to newer multi-core CPUs.
