AMD Ryzen 5 5625U vs Intel Core i3-13100T Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 5 5625U and Intel Core i3-13100T are two active processors from different market segments: the former is a mobile chip with a 15 W TDP, the latter a desktop chip with a 35 W TDP. In the database's aggregate scoring, the Intel part holds a slight edge with an average benchmark score of 3198 against the AMD's 3096, and it also sits at the 53rd percentile versus the 52nd. However, the head-to-head results are split evenly, with each processor winning three of the six shared tests.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The shared benchmark suite includes six tests. The AMD Ryzen 5 5625U takes the Cinebench R15 multicore test with a score of 1447 against 1092, a 32.5% lead. It also wins the R15 singlecore test by a larger margin: 223 versus 154, a 44.8% advantage. In Geekbench multicore, the AMD again leads, scoring 5718 to 4993, a 14.5% difference. The Intel Core i3-13100T counters in the newer Cinebench R23 tests. In R23 multicore, it scores 10840 against the AMD's 8290, a 23.5% lead. In R23 singlecore, it scores 1530 versus 1379, a 9.9% advantage. Finally, in Geekbench singlecore, the Intel part wins with 1780 against 1521, a 14.6% margin. The result is a 3-3 split in wins, but the magnitudes differ: the AMD's largest win is 44.8% in R15 singlecore, while the Intel's largest is 23.5% in R23 multicore. The AMD's wins are generally larger in percentage terms, with two of its three victories exceeding 30%, whereas the Intel's largest win is under 24%.

Where Each One Wins

The data shows a clear workload split. The AMD Ryzen 5 5625U is the stronger choice for multi-threaded workloads in the Cinebench R15 and Geekbench multicore tests. Its 6 cores and 12 threads likely contribute to these results, though the benchmark scores themselves are the direct evidence. The Intel Core i3-13100T dominates the Cinebench R23 suite and Geekbench singlecore, indicating better performance in newer single-threaded tasks. Users prioritizing single-thread performance in modern benchmarks would favor the Intel part, while those running older multi-threaded applications might see better results from the AMD. The Geekbench multicore result is particularly notable: the AMD leads by 14.5%, while the Intel leads by 14.6% in Geekbench singlecore, nearly mirroring each other in opposite directions.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on different architectures and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen 5 5625U uses Zen 3 architecture on a 7 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel Core i3-13100T uses Raptor Lake on a 10 nm process from Intel. The AMD has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel has 4 cores and 8 threads. Cache configurations differ: the AMD has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3; the Intel has 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 12 MB shared L3. The AMD's die size is 180 mm² with 10,700 million transistors, while the Intel's die size is 163 mm² with no transistor count listed. Memory support also differs: the AMD supports DDR4 only, while the Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD has ECC memory support, the Intel does not. PCIe connectivity: the AMD offers Gen 3 with 16 lanes, the Intel offers Gen 5 with 20 lanes. Integrated graphics: the AMD has Radeon Vega 7, the Intel has UHD Graphics 730. The AMD is a mobile part on Socket FP6, the Intel is a desktop part on Socket 1700. The AMD has a TDP of 15 W, the Intel 35 W. The AMD was released on 2022-01-05, the Intel on 2023-01-03.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i3-13100T has a higher average benchmark score and a higher percentile, and it wins in the newer Cinebench R23 tests and Geekbench singlecore. It also offers DDR5 support, PCIe Gen 5, and a higher TDP, which may be suitable for desktop builds. The AMD Ryzen 5 5625U, on the other hand, wins in Cinebench R15 and Geekbench multicore, has more cores and threads, supports ECC memory, and has a much lower TDP, making it suitable for mobile or power-constrained systems. The choice depends on the workload: for single-threaded performance and modern multi-threaded benchmarks, the Intel part is ahead; for legacy multi-threaded workloads and mobile use, the AMD part is preferable. The data does not declare a single winner, but rather a clear division of strengths that aligns with each processor's intended market segment.
