Hello, I'm evaluating two laptops for your virtualisation needs. One has an Intel i5 9300h, the other a Ryzen 7 3750h. You mentioned the i5 performs better but are concerned about security issues with Intel CPUs. It's recommended to turn off certain Intel features like TSX or Hyper-Threading to reduce risks such as Zombieload or Meltdown attacks. For performance and security in virtualisation, programming, and scripting, the Ryzen 7 offers better multi-core support and modern architecture, making it a safer choice overall.

You stand at a 1 and 7.5 billion odds of facing a cyber attack. Lol, just keep things civil—you’ll be okay. Pick the CPU with the highest performance and the most cores/threads. These security issues are minimal, so skipping an Intel chip isn’t necessary.

The Ryzen 4th generation is now available, why not take it? It offers the same IPC as the 9th generation but with more cores. Achieve the maximum core count for virtualization.

Zen 3... unclear. Perhaps Zen 2.1? Haha!

It will require some time to reach my area, and I’m also limited by time and budget for the Ryzen 4000 devices.

It seems the third-generation Zen+ laptop falls short when compared to the ninth generation, particularly since Intel typically pairs with a superior NVIDIA MX or GTX graphics card.
