Intel Core i 11th Gen Vs AMD Ryzen 5000: Which one to choose and why?

Whether you are a home user, professional or gamer, there are only two choices – Intel and AMD. You can choose one out of them to generate enough computing power.

In the year 2021, Intel and AMD both announced its new processor line up. Intel Core i series comes with its 11th Gen CPUs. AMD announced its next Ryzen 5000 series of processors.

A few laptop/PC manufacturers have introduced new machines with latest-gen Intel and AMD processors. Intel is more popular among professional and home users, while AMD is the preferred choice among gamers.

Intel would be a better choice for professionals. The next-gen CPU offers better colour-accuracy with high-resolution screen. The Intel Core i 11th Gen CPU offers best overclocking. Intel is certified with to deliver optimized performance with various software applications. Also, it is good for productivity performance without having discrete graphics.

Intel announced its 11th Gen processors based on Tiger Lake architecture, the latest Intel CPUs are built to power the thin & light laptops. 11th Gen Intel processors are powered by Intel’s new SuperFin transistors, combine new industry-first and best-in-class technologies, like Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), Thunderbolt 4, AV1 media decode, CPU-attached PCIe Gen 4 interface, and hardware-hardened security features.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a part of our lives and to change the AI game Intel’s 11th Gen processors offer AI acceleration. Packed with Intel Iris Xe graphics, the CPU enables games at great, playable frame rates in full-HD. This also delivers brilliant visuals with support for billions of colours, HDR10, Dolby Atmos sound, and long playback of Dolby Vision-enabled content with hardware acceleration. Intel Iris Xe graphics also enable you to work on creative projects, powered by unique hardware-accelerated AI.

AMD Ryzen 5000 series Zen-based processors have redefined the performance. AMD has improved its overall performance. The new designs deliver more cores, more performance, and lower power requirements. Ryzen 5000 has changed the paradigm entirely, the new processors are leading in almost every metric over Intel. AMD was known for its gaming performance which is still there, plus you will get better single-threaded performance, overclocking, multitasking etc.

Conclusion

Home users and students should consider to buy Intel Core i3 series of CPU as its affordable and offers better overclocking when required. AMD Ryzen 5 would be better to choose when you don’t want to work on various applications plus play some games.

Professionals should consider Intel Core i 5 or 7 depending upon there computing needs to run various productivity apps. It can support video editing kind of tasks as well without discrete GPU, however, the rendering would take longer, compare to a machine with dedicated graphics. AMD Ryzen 7 or 9 is a better choice but discrete graphics would be required to handle all the graphics related processing.

For high-end performance obviously, Intel Core i 9 and AMD Ryzen 9 are the choice. But the differences are still there. Intel can work without discrete graphics, plus they are optimized for various 3D and other productivity apps, while AMD is perfect with overall great performance, yet required dedicated graphics card.
