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 Credit: IDG Intel 12th Gen mobile CPUs versus Ryzen 3 mobile CPUs
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.

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 Credit: IDG Intel Core i7 (10th Gen) vs AMD Ryzen (3rd Gen) desktop CPUsMobile
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 Credit: IDG
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.
