Conclusion

All in all, in this comparison we choose Ryzen as our clear winner. Not only does the processor perform better in our CPU benchmarks, but it shows more than a two times better performance when it comes to the integrated graphics. Overall, Ryzen is the clear winner in this comparison. Furthermore, the Ryzen 5 4500U is usually found on less expensive laptops than the Intel which also makes it more cost-effective.
