AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500U vs Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7?

Google is your friend, but here are the benchmarks: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-5500U-vs-Intel-i7-1165G7/4141vs3814

Overall, the i5/i7 CPUs might be faster for single core use, but for multi core use, the Ryzen 5 seems to be decently faster.

would it make sense to upgrade to 12GB RAM for $30?

Easier than opening it up and adding or replacing it, but 8 GB should be plenty for most things.
