So which CPU will you choose: AMD Ryzen 5 5600U or Intel Core i5 11300H?

Is a Ryzen 5 better than an Intel Core i5?

Regarding raw performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 and the Intel Core i5 are powerful processors. However, the Ryzen 5 has an edge in this department. It has more cores and threads than the i5, which can handle more tasks simultaneously. It also has a higher base clock speed, meaning it can quickly complete those tasks.

Which is better i5 11th or Ryzen 5?

Winner: Intel The Core i5-11400 comes with integrated graphics, so it wins by default if you don't plan on using a discrete GPU.

Is Ryzen 5 5600 better than i5?

The Core i5 does enjoy a slight performance advantage in this title, beating the R5 5600 by up to an 11% margin at 1080p, seen when using the RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3080 12GB. The margin for the average frame rate was reduced to just 3% with the 3070, but the Intel CPU was 12% faster when looking at the 1% lows.
