With AMD offering the best that is available right now in terms of CPUs, it is great to see that Intel hasn’t given up and are still fighting back and releasing new and interesting CPUs. One of them is the newest addition to the Tiger-Lake family, the Intel Core i3-1115G4, which offers great performance, considering the price that you’re paying.

Currently, we have comparisons between this new i3 and some other Tiger Lake CPUs, but to truly comprehend the performance of this chip we would want to compare it against its main rival from Team Red, in the face of the AMD Ryzen 3 4300U to see which low-end chip is better, both when CPU and GPU scores are considered.

Here is our Top Laptop CPU Ranking, where you can check out how these CPUs stack up against other processors.
