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 i7 11700

The Intel Core i7-11700 is a powerful desktop processor released in Q1 2021, as part of Intel’s 11th Generation Rocket Lake family. Designed for enthusiasts, gamers, and content creators, this CPU offers a solid balance of single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. It features 8 physical cores and 16 threads, making it ideal for tasks such as gaming, streaming, 4K video editing, 3D rendering, and heavy multitasking.

With a base clock speed of 2.5 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of up to 4.9 GHz, the i7-11700 delivers strong performance out of the box. The processor is built on Intel’s 14nm process node, but with significant architectural improvements over the previous generation, notably higher IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) thanks to the Cypress Cove core design. Despite using the older 14nm process, these architectural upgrades allow the i7-11700 to compete closely with AMD's Ryzen 7 5000-series CPUs in many workloads.

The TDP (Thermal Design Power) of the Core i7-11700 is rated at 65W, making it relatively efficient for a high-end CPU. However, under sustained heavy loads, especially in systems with aggressive power limits or PL1/PL2 settings, actual power consumption can be much higher—so a decent cooling solution is recommended for consistent performance.

For integrated graphics, the i7-11700 is equipped with Intel UHD Graphics 750, based on the Xe architecture. It supports up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, HEVC/VP9 decode/encode, and can handle light gaming or display output without the need for a discrete GPU. Still, for users focused on gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads, pairing this processor with a dedicated graphics card is highly recommended.
