Intel Core i5-1035G1 Icelake vs AMD Ryzen 5 4500U

Hi,

 

Need to chose processor for laptops we are purchasing. i5 is obviously more expensive. I don't know that much about processors. Laptop will be used in primary school by children for ICT lessons and research.

 

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I can't find a metric where the Intel one is better.

AMD are bossing cpus on all fronts right now. If you must buy new, no reason at all to look at Intel as things stand.

We've only ever purchased I3 for a laptop for students, should be fine as long as partnered with fast ssd and ideally 8gb ram. You could look at Chromebook or Intune managed laptops as a lower spec and price point as it sounds like the requirements are quite low.

I've just purchased some HP 440 G8 laptops that come with the much improved 11th gen i5. Wow they've made the laptop an inch shorter (still 14" screen) and got rid of the fan. Quite the step up, the gpu is 50% faster and the CPU is 20+ faster.

 

so also consider the 11th gen it's really improved.

 

£515 for the 8gb/256 model.

 

cinebench..

 

 

EDIT, the scores show are my own from a HP 440 G7 vs G8
