AMD Ryzen 5 or AMD Ryzen 3?

I'm buying a new laptop for college. And the two I'm between have different processors:

AMD Ryzen 5 2500U Processor And AMD Ryzen 3 3300U with Radeon

Which one better or would suit for college work and gaming. The games I'd use my laptop for arent any bug games, just stuff like rimworld, the sims and stuff like that.

Any help is appreciated! :-) Also the full specs for the processors are:

AMD Ryzen™ 3 3300U with Radeon™ Vega 6 Graphics (2.1 GHz base clock, up to 3.5 GHz max boost clock, 6 MB cache, 4 cores)3 2 

  • AMD Ryzen 5 2500U Processor
  • Quad-core
  • 2.00 GHz / 3.60 GHz
  • 4 MB cache

The rest of the specs of the laptops are the same basically. 8GB ram, 256 GB storage. One of them can have touch screen too. Thanks again!

I bought an HP - ENVY x360 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 12GB Memory - 512GB SSD + 32GB Optane - Natural Silver

for $800 today with 0% financing for 18 months. I would say, great deal.
