Ryzen 5 5500u vs i3-1115g4 benchmark

Q: Is Ryzen 5 better than i3?

Granted were still looking at playable performance with the quad-cores, but frame stuttering will be much more apparent with these CPUs. The 1600 AF on the other hand is silky smooth with 1% lows of around 60 fps and an average frame rate of 77 fps, making the Ryzen processors 24% faster than the Core i3.
