Intel Core i3-1125G4 vs AMD Ryzen 5 7520U: comparison

Comparison of Intel Core i3-1125G4 and AMD Ryzen 5 7520U: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Core i3-1125G4 has a larger L3 cache (8 MB vs 4 MB), a higher maximum memory size (64 GB vs 16 GB) and a newer PCIe version (4 vs 3).

At the same time, AMD Ryzen 5 7520U has a higher maximum clock (4.3 GHz vs 3.7 GHz), a finer process node (6 nm vs 10 nm) and a higher maximum integrated graphics clock (1.9 GHz vs 1.25 GHz).

Both processors match on: core count (4), thread count (8), memory channels (2).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
