I decided to buy a laptop for my studies. Have a found in 2 variants. Intel Core i5-8265U and AMD Ryzen 5 3500U. Each 250GB SSD the Intel version is 50 euro more expensive. Now I wanted to ask which processor is better.

I would recommend the AMD because it is cheaper and with Ryzen I have better experiences

The chips are as good as equal. The Ryzen is weaker in the single-digit percentage range, as long as fewer than 6 threads are served.
The integrated graphics unit of the Ryzen should be clearly superior to that of the Intel.

So if the laptop does not have a dedicated GPU, the Ryzen is much stronger in games.

Thanks for the answer. Wanted to use it only for CAD programs.

In that case, the Intel is the better choice. Whether you are the 50 euro + worth you have to decide. I would probably pay the extra cost if I had the choice.

I have 2 in mind: HP Envy x360 with ryzen 5 and 512GB SD 699 euro

and HP Pavilion x360 with Core i5 and 1TB SD 650 euro (sale)
