Gaming performance
Let's see how good Core i5-8265U and Ryzen 5 3500U are for gaming compared with game system requirements. Remember that sometimes official requirements may reflect real performance inaccurately.
Advantages of Intel Core i5-8265U
1.2% faster in synthetic tests
HyperThreading (allows one physical CPU function as two logical ones. It increases performance, since while one logical CPU is waiting for data, the second may still do useful work)
Quick Sync (hardware acceleration of video encoding and decoding for Intel CPUs. Speeds up video encoding by times, but at the cost of somewhat lower quality)
AES-NI (Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions - additional instructions for hardware acceleration of AES encryption and decryption)

Advantages of AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
Somewhat newer (6 January 2019 vs 28 August 2018)
Finer manufacturing process technology (12 vs 14 nm)
Less power hungry (15 vs 28 watts)
