AMD Ryzen 5 5605G vs Intel Core Ultra 5 336H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 5 5605G and the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters for both parts read zero. Direct score-for-score comparisons cannot be made from the recorded data.

However, the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has a full set of individual benchmark results. Its average benchmark score is 34485, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G holds a 50th percentile position with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of recorded tests.

The Core Ultra 5 336H delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23991 and a single-core score of 3387. Its Cinebench R20 results show 10076 multicore and 1422 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 run returns 2418 multicore and 341 single-core. PassMark results include a multithread score of 28545, a single-thread score of 4013, integer math at 62070, floating point math at 82415, and extended instructions at 24542. Data compression reaches 280340, data encryption hits 21291, random string sorting lands at 34402, find prime numbers scores 299, and physics scores 2682.

The nearest rivals listed for the Core Ultra 5 336H confirm its positioning. The Intel Core i7-13700HX averages 34554, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i5-13450HX averages 34333, putting the Ultra 5 0.4% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X averages 34260, with the Ultra 5 leading by 0.7%. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 averages 34222, and the Ultra 5 sits 0.8% above it. These margins are narrow, meaning the Ultra 5 sits in a tightly contested performance band where a few points separate adjacent parts.

Since the AMD Ryzen 5 5605G has no benchmark records in the database, its relative standing must be inferred from its hardware profile rather than measured results. Its 50th percentile rank is the only positional data available.

The Verdict

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has the only recorded performance data, so any selection based on measurements must favor it. The database shows the Ultra 5 as an 84th percentile part with an average score of 34485, while the Ryzen 5 5605G sits at the 50th percentile with no scores. On the available evidence, the Ultra 5 is the higher-performing chip.

For a desktop build on the AMD AM4 platform, the Ryzen 5 5605G offers six cores and twelve threads with a 65 W TDP. It uses Zen 3 architecture on a 7 nm TSMC node, supports DDR4 memory, and provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. Its integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics make it a self-contained option for systems without a discrete GPU.

For a mobile platform, the Core Ultra 5 336H provides 16 cores and 16 threads with a 25 W TDP. It uses Panther Lake architecture on Intel's 3 nm process, supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 12 CPU lanes. Its integrated Intel Xe3 Graphics handle display output without a separate card.

The data supports choosing the Ultra 5 when measured performance matters most. The Ryzen 5 5605G cannot be benchmarked from the database, so its performance claims rest entirely on paper specifications. The Ultra 5 has actual scores across Cinebench and PassMark workloads, and those scores place it at 84th percentile, far above the 5605G's 50th percentile placement.

The multiplier situation differs: the Ryzen 5 5605G has an unlocked multiplier, while the Core Ultra 5 336H is locked. Enthusiast overclocking leans toward the AMD part, but no benchmark data confirms any overclocked results.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G belongs to the 5000 series and uses Zen 3 architecture with the codename Cezanne. It is built on TSMC's 7 nm process node with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. Cache is organized as 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3 total.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H belongs to the Core Ultra Series 3 and uses Panther Lake architecture with the codename Panther Lake. It is built on Intel's 3 nm process node. Transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database. Cache is organized as 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3.

The cache hierarchy indicates a fundamentally different design approach. The AMD part uses smaller per-core L1 and L2 caches with a 16 MB L3 pool. The Intel part uses substantially larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, 192 KB and 2.5 MB respectively, with an 18 MB shared L3.

The foundry split is notable: AMD uses TSMC for the 7 nm node, and Intel uses its own foundry for the 3 nm node. The generation labels reflect this: the 5605G is listed as Ryzen 5 (Zen 3 (Cezanne)), and the Ultra 5 is listed as Ultra 5 (Panther Lake-H).

Memory architecture differs by generation as well. The 5605G pairs with DDR4, and the Ultra 5 pairs with DDR5 or LPDDR5X. Memory bandwidth reflects this: 51.2 GB/s for the AMD part versus 115.2 GB/s for the Intel part.

PCIe generation also differs: Gen 3 on the AMD part versus Gen 5 on the Intel part. The AMD part has more CPU PCIe lanes at 16, while the Intel part has 12.

The integrated GPU architectures are different generations. The Radeon Vega 7 is based on AMD's Vega graphics architecture, and the Intel Xe3 Graphics is based on Intel's Xe architecture.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H wins on every measured benchmark in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23991 and single-core score of 3387 establish strong performance in both threaded and single-threaded workloads. PassMark integer math at 62070 and floating point math at 82415 indicate solid compute throughput.

The Intel part also wins on efficiency metrics. Its 25 W TDP is far lower than the 65 W TDP of the AMD part, making it suitable for thermally constrained mobile chassis. Its memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s more than doubles the 51.2 GB/s of the AMD part, which benefits memory-intensive workloads.

The Intel part wins on process technology. Its 3 nm Intel node is more advanced than the 7 nm TSMC node used by the AMD part. Its larger L1 and L2 caches per core, 192 KB and 2.5 MB respectively, provide more on-die data storage close to the cores.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G wins on platform flexibility. It uses the AM4 socket, which is a widely used desktop platform. Its unlocked multiplier allows user-controlled overclocking, a feature absent from the locked Intel part.

The AMD part wins on PCIe lane count. It provides 16 CPU lanes compared to 12 on the Intel part, which matters for multi-GPU or expansion-heavy desktop configurations.

The AMD part also wins on raw clock baseline. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz is substantially higher than the 1.90 GHz base clock of the Intel part, though the Intel part has a higher boost clock at 4.60 GHz versus 4.40 GHz.

The market segment split is clear: the AMD Ryzen 5 5605G targets desktop systems where AM4 compatibility, overclocking, and lower memory cost matter. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H targets mobile systems where low power draw, high memory bandwidth, and compact packaging matter.

The percentile gap is decisive. The Intel part sits at 84th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at 50th percentile. With no benchmark scores recorded for the AMD part, the Intel part is the only one with verified performance data, and that data places it well above the midpoint of all CPUs in the database.
