AMD or Intel for Podcasting?

[MadMudkip]

Yes I know its possible to podcast from a potato,

Yes I'm aware AMD is kicking butt and taking names at the moment, I upgraded my personal pc from a 4th Gen i5 to an Ryzen 5 2600x just a few months ago.

I've been tasked with finding a solid, durable laptop for a university project centered around podcasting. I'm restricted to Dell because of exclusive rights and policies. I'll likely be running Adobe Audition. Does anyone have any experiences good or bad with different processors when it comes to podcasting? I'd like to keep it midrange (Ryzen 5 or Core i5) but could be convinced to go up to an i7/Ryzen7. Does any one processor offer advantages in this realm over the other? I was extremely disappointed, for example, that AMD struggles with emulating on Android Studio.

Get either one you want, they will both work properly.  Go for best bang for your buck with AMD.

Well, mobile is basically the wild west. While on desktop the i5s have mostly been crushed under the foot of the Ryzen 5 3600(X), on mobile it's a mess.

 

The tier would go like this for the ULV parts

 

i7 8565U

Ryzen 7 3700U = i7 8550U = i5 8265U

Ryzen 7 2700U = Ryzen 5 3500U = i5 8250U

Ryzen 5 2500U

 

With, of course, Vega GPUs being VASTLY better than Intel UHD

 

If you, however, are looking at high performance H-series, then it's a different story. i5s and Ryzen 5/7 are all quad-cores with i7s like the 8750H and 9750H being hex-cores.

If you were asking about the ultrabook that use U version of CPU. i meant for podcast whether 2500u or 8250u is basically same. i don't think i7 above is worth for podcasting since it add more money. 

 

for example between Ryzen 5 2500 U vs i5 8250u

the overall performance only gained around maximum 8~% for intel side. but the ryzen has Vega 8 roughly equal to MX-130 or 40% lower than MX-150 4GB. so when you go with AMD you basically wrap MX-130 with lower i5 performance at cheaper price. mind this is comparison with CPU performance and iGPU. idk about thermal or the software optimization.
