Need guidance on deciding between the AMD Ryzen 7 3750H and Intel I5 9300H.
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.
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.
