Ryzen 2200u or i5-8250u??

[salah0666]

Hell guys, so i have the option between the Ryzen 3 2200u with the vega 3 graphics OR i5-8250u with the intel UHD 620 graphics.

Bot have 8gb ram, and SSD's.

I want to use the laptop for studying, and light gaming (world of tanks, fortnite (low settings), etc.) Not gonna game that much on it though since i have a desktop already. The Ryzen 3 one has more batterlife btw.

Heres the specs, there're on danish though

2200U is only two cores and four threads while the 8250U boasts four cores and eight threads, so expect to see about twice the performance in multithreaded tasks

2200U has a better igpu though so if you want to do light gaming AMD should be your best bet

Ryzen will get my vote for higher base clock speed and better IGPU.

clock speeds aren't everything there is architecture, cache latency and a lot of things going on that impact performance as well, and considering the way turbo modes work in laptops a poorly cooled laptop will get worse results due to thermal throttling

I haven't heard much about these, but some things to think about are:
The Ryzen needs dual channel, fast ram to generate graphics performance. If that computer has one stick of ram, or standard DRR4 2133 or 2400, you won't get as much out of it. I think the Vega would have the edge, but neither of these is really suited for gaming. So if one is better than the other it still might not be enough.

Actually its good you point that out, HP is one of the few that gives its laptops a proper dual channel ram configuration

2x4gb DDR4-2400 . Yeah you'd want more clock speed, but HP Ryzen consistently outperform others in gaming.

This Processor has shown to be consistently a very good gamer, thats what he should go with. I am a bit biased though I have the Ryzen 5 HP Envy x360. Its excellent.

From the point of view, price and specs are similar.

I like the Lenovo laptops.
I think they have abandoned the practice of pushing out trialware and other intrusive monitoring.
Also, many seem to like the keyboards.

If you can, go see the units in person.
If you can't find some reviews

The ryzen one has dual channel 2x4 gb 2400 mhx SDRAM

But which one is fastest at general tasks, like youtube, surfing the internet, downloading, and studying stuff

Honestly for general tasks you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. They should both perform nearly identical in those tasks. The Ryzen 3 should game better however.
