There was a time when people used to ignore the Ryzen and buy Intel over it. The intel was so strong in the game.
But AMD came back to the game and launched the most loved Ryzen 5 processor. It was the Ryzen 5 3500U that gained so much popularity because it was ahead of the competition.
And interestingly, it did cost way cheaper than the Intel i5.
Now the time has come where people are preferring Ryzen laptops over Intel ones.
Currently, a Ryzen processor in laptops is definitely worth it.
