AMD Ryzen 3 30 vs AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep: the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS wins all 11 shared benchmark comparisons. No single test favors the Ryzen 3 30. The largest margins appear in compute-heavy workloads, while the smallest gap sits in single-threaded tests.

In PassMark data compression, the 7533HS scores 168,692 against 135,834 for the Ryzen 3 30, a delta of -19.5% for the smaller chip. Random string sorting shows a narrower -18.3% delta (17,669 vs 14,431), suggesting the gap narrows somewhat in memory-latency-sensitive tasks. The most pronounced difference is in prime number finding: 48 vs 20, a -58.3% delta, indicating a substantial per-core and per-thread advantage for the 7533HS in that workload.

Floating point math delivers 27,800 for the 7533HS versus 14,448 for the Ryzen 3 30 (-48%), while integer math lands at 50,800 versus 29,846 (-41.2%). Extended instructions show 11,219 against 6,075 (-45.9%), and encryption workloads reach 10,718 versus 6,461 (-39.7%). Physics simulation scores 821 versus 436 (-46.9%), and multithread performance sits at 14,520 against 9,027 (-37.8%).

Single-thread results are the closest comparison: 2,740 versus 2,465, a -10% delta. That is roughly half the margin seen in multithreaded work. The data indicates the 7533HS leads in every recorded category, but its advantage is least pronounced when only one thread is active.

The average benchmark score for the Ryzen 3 30 is 20,137, while the 7533HS averages 19,364. Despite losing every head-to-head test, the Ryzen 3 30 posts a slightly higher overall average because the two processors are evaluated against different benchmark suites; the database records Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 results for the 7533HS that are not present for the Ryzen 3 30, and the PassMark subtest averages differ in weighting. The percentile rankings are close as well: the Ryzen 3 30 sits at the 74th percentile of all CPUs, the 7533HS at the 73rd.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations despite sharing a 6 nm TSMC manufacturing node. The Ryzen 3 30 uses Zen 2 architecture under the Mendocino codename, while the 7533HS uses Zen 3+ under Rembrandt-R. Both are mobile parts with integrated graphics, but the designs diverge in core counts, cache hierarchy, memory support, and platform connectivity.

The Ryzen 3 30 has 4 cores and 8 threads. The 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads. The L1 and L2 caches are identical per core (64 KB and 512 KB respectively), but shared L3 cache differs sharply: 4 MB for the Ryzen 3 30 versus 16 MB for the 7533HS. Die size also differs: 100 mm² for Mendocino versus 208 mm² for Rembrandt-R. The larger die and larger L3 cache align with the 7533HS's higher core count and more recent architecture.

Memory support separates the two as well. The Ryzen 3 30 uses LPDDR5 with a recorded bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s. The 7533HS uses DDR5 with 76.8 GB/s. Despite the lower bandwidth figure, the 7533HS still wins the random string sorting test, which is often sensitive to memory subsystem behavior. Neither chip supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs significantly. The Ryzen 3 30 provides Gen 3 with 4 lanes (CPU only). The 7533HS provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). That is a substantial platform-level difference for storage and external GPU connectivity.

Integrated graphics are not identical: the Ryzen 3 30 carries a Radeon 610M, while the 7533HS carries a Radeon 660M. The database does not include graphics benchmarks, so performance differences between those iGPUs are not quantified here.

Sockets differ as well. The Ryzen 3 30 mounts in AMD Socket FT6, while the 7533HS uses AMD Socket FP7. The part numbers for the 7533HS include two variants: 100-000001632 (FP7) and 100-000001634 (FP7r2). Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status. The Ryzen 3 30 has a release date of September 30, 2025, while the 7533HS carries an August 31, 2024 release date.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data yields no workload where the Ryzen 3 30 records a win. Every head-to-head test favors the 7533HS. The practical question is the size of the gap and what kind of work narrows it.

The 7533HS delivers its largest advantages in prime number finding (-58.3%), floating point math (-48%), physics (-46.9%), extended instructions (-45.9%), and integer math (-41.2%). These are compute-bound, multithread-friendly workloads where the extra 2 cores, 4 threads, and 12 MB of additional L3 cache provide a clear scaling benefit.

The Ryzen 3 30 comes closest in single-thread tests (-10%) and random string sorting (-18.3%). Its smaller L3 cache and lower core count do not hurt as much in lightly threaded or memory-latency-bound scenarios. Data compression (-19.5%) also shows a relatively moderate gap. For workloads that do not scale well beyond a few threads, the Ryzen 3 30's deficit is smaller, but it still trails.

The Ryzen 3 30 does offer a lower power envelope: 15 W TDP versus 35 W TDP. The database records no efficiency benchmarks, so the real-world performance per watt cannot be directly quantified. What the data does show is that the 7533HS uses more than double the TDP budget and converts that into roughly 10% to 58% higher scores depending on the test. The 7533HS also reaches a higher boost clock (4.40 GHz versus 4.10 GHz) and a higher base clock (3.30 GHz versus 2.40 GHz), which helps explain the single-thread lead.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the stronger processor in every measured benchmark category, with its largest leads in multithreaded and compute-heavy workloads. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration, Zen 3+ architecture, 16 MB L3 cache, higher clocks, and Gen 4 PCIe connectivity all point to a more capable part for demanding tasks. Its 35 W TDP and larger die size are the trade-offs.

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 is a lower-power alternative at 15 W TDP with a smaller die and a more modest platform feature set. Its closest results come in single-thread and memory-latency-sensitive tests, where the gap narrows to around 10% to 18%. For workloads that are not heavily multithreaded, the Ryzen 3 30 remains competitive, but it does not win any recorded comparison.

The percentile rankings are effectively even (74th versus 73rd), and the average benchmark scores differ by less than 4% (20,137 versus 19,364), which reflects the different benchmark suites in the database rather than equivalent performance. The head-to-head results are unambiguous: the 7533HS dominates all 11 shared tests. Anyone choosing between these two on measured performance alone should select the 7533HS. Anyone prioritizing the lowest power envelope and a smaller platform footprint has only the Ryzen 3 30 as the option, but must accept the performance deficit documented above.
