AMD Ryzen 5 7640U vs Intel Core i5-1335U: Comparison

AMD Ryzen 5 7640U vs Intel Core i5-1335U total cores compared

These two are close on paper, and total cores is the only measure that separates them at all: AMD Ryzen 5 7640U 6 against Intel Core i5-1335U 10. Add l3 cache to that, 16 MB on the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U versus 12 MB on the Intel Core i5-1335U, and the pattern holds. There is a split on igpu as well, AMD Radeon 760M on the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U versus Intel Iris Xe Graphics on the Intel Core i5-1335U.

AMD Ryzen 5 7640U vs Intel Core i5-1335U: which one fits your build

Buy the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U for midrange thin-and-light laptops and office work, browsing and video calls, though it is not the pick for modern games at high settings without a dedicated GPU and copilot+ PC AI features, which need a 40+ TOPS NPU. It is not the one for heavy video rendering or 3D work, where 8-core chips finish much sooner. The Intel Core i5-1335U is the one to take for ultra-thin laptops and business laptops, though it is the wrong buy for gaming laptops and heavy sustained workloads. Our rating of the Intel Core i5-1335U (7.7/10): the Intel Core i5-1335U prioritizes battery life and portability, fitting thin business and everyday laptops.

Where the two are identical

Where they agree, they agree completely, total threads, integrated graphics, form factor, release year and market segment included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 1 further specification as well.
