I5 13th, because it has faster performance. Ryzen 7 tends to heat up faster.

Indeed, the Ryzen 7 is faster but the reality is that it tends to heat up significantly, reaching around 85-90 degrees Celsius under heavy load. I can't comment on the i5 as I'm not familiar with the thermal performance of this CPU. However, I can say that the IGPU is considerably faster.

I'm running heavy games like PUBG at max settings on my i5-13500HX, and it's maintaining around 74-78 degrees Celsius. This is with the fan speed set at 4.5K rpm and the game mode set to Turbo.
