Processor comparisons   25-02-2023
   For example you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision after reading the detailed tests AMD Ryzen 5 7530U vs Intel Core i7-1280P and decide which is better for games or simple use for rendering, streaming, video editing, machine learning, programming. Here is useful information from real streaming and video editing tests or several benchmarks. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in special test applications such as PassMark, Handbrake, PCMark 10, Dolphin Emulator, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, AIDA64, MATLAB, 3DMark, VeraCrypt, WPrime, RealBench, Blender, GeekBench 6, 5.2, 7zip, Gears 5, UserBenchmark, DaVinci Resolve Studio, SuperPi, Blender, Prime95, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), Furmark.

For the maximum in this test, the results of the most powerful processor in the site database are taken. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because the cost of this processor reaches several tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, if you think that the selected CPU has a low game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.
List of other games in which processors were compared: DOTA 2A, NBA 2K20, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Hitman 3, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Metro Exodus, Horizon Zero Dawn, Half-Life: Alyx, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Forza Horizon 4, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Monster Hunter World, Control, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Battlefield V, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Ghostrunner, League of Legends (LOL).

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 4K, 2K or FullHD. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you get acquainted with the benchmarks that are made with the same video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a finishing choice on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Ryzen 5 7530U is more energy efficient than the Core i7-1280P as it consumes less power: 15W vs. 28W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you must know its TDP. It is necessary to calculate so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

Let's say you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for video rendering or video editing, machine learning, programming, streaming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the CPU includes all threads and cores that it has to the maximum to reach maximum efficiency. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to make sure that the program that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the advantages of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the processor release date and overclocking capability will be the most helpful. The later the processor is released, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS in the newest games. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!
