Processor comparisons   11-09-2022
   For example you can't decide which CPU to buy, you can make a decision by looking at the Intel Core i7-1255UL vs AMD Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition tests and decide which is better for games or normal use for machine learning, video editing, programming, streaming, rendering. Here you can find all information from real video editing and streaming tests or several benchmarks. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in software tests like World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, MATLAB, Prime95, Dolphin Emulator, Blender, GeekBench 6, 5.2, VeraCrypt, PassMark, RealBench, 7zip, PCMark 10, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), Gears 5, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Furmark, 3DMark, SuperPi, Blender, UserBenchmark, AIDA64, WPrime, Handbrake.
   And how good the processors are in games:

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 this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you 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.

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 that were in the comparisons not only did they have different amounts of RAM and different video cards. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, FullHD or 4K. 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 compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a final decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. It is clear that the newer the generation, the better the performance of the processor in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Core i7-1255UL is more energy efficient than the Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition as it consumes less power: 15W vs. 25W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. And TDP should be taken into account when choosing a processor cooling system. 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

For example you want to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for video editing or video rendering, programming, streaming, machine learning, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, to reach maximum efficiency, the CPU turns on all threads and cores that it has. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to find out whether the software that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the benefit 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 newer the processor, the longer it will last in your computer. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same can be said about overclocking. When the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The economy are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition is 5% better than Core i7-1255UL in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Core i7-1255UL has 2 more core than Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i7-1255UL is better: 30
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition is better: 5
Although it should be understood that all the number in the table above do not mean that taking them into account you should totally trust a simple comparison of these figures. Be sure to watch the video tests and read the opinion of real owners of Intel Core i7-1255UL and AMD Ryzen 7 Extreme Edition before making a selection which processor to buy for gaming and which not.
