AMD Ryzen 5 7500F vs Intel Core i7-1360P Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a decisive picture. Across all 17 recorded head-to-head comparisons, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F claims victory over the Intel Core i7-1360P. The margins are substantial in most workloads, but the magnitude varies significantly depending on the test type and thread utilization.

The most dramatic separation occurs in the Cinebench R23 multi-core test. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 22,799 points against 11,266.5 for the Intel Core i7-1360P, a delta of -50.6% from Intel's perspective. This means the Ryzen 5 7500F delivers more than double the multi-threaded rendering performance. The Cinebench R20 multi-core test shows a similar pattern: 9,575 versus 6,530, a 31.8% advantage for AMD. Even in single-core tests, where Intel's Raptor Lake architecture traditionally excels, the Ryzen 5 7500F maintains a comfortable lead. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 3,218 versus 1,829, a 43.2% margin. The R20 single-core result is 1,351 versus 921, again a 31.8% difference.

Beyond Cinebench, the Passmark suite reinforces AMD's dominance. The extended instructions test shows a 49.2% gap, with scores of 22,776 versus 11,581. Prime number finding, a workload sensitive to both clock speed and architecture, reveals a 60.8% difference: 199 versus 78. Data compression tasks favor AMD by 33.4%, with 305,925 versus 203,746. Random string sorting shows a 37.8% advantage, 36,191 versus 22,522.

The closest contest appears in floating-point math. Here, the Ryzen 5 7500F scores 47,176 against 45,997, a narrow 2.5% margin. This suggests that for pure FPU throughput, the Intel part's hybrid architecture with 12 cores and 16 threads can partly compensate for its lower per-core performance. Integer math shows a 14.1% gap, with AMD ahead at 79,108 versus 67,963. Single-thread Passmark scores show a 9.9% difference, which is modest relative to the multi-core gaps.

The aggregate average benchmark score data places the Ryzen 5 7500F at 24,964, versus 24,344 for the Intel Core i7-1360P. Both processors sit at the 76th and 77th percentile of all CPUs respectively, indicating they occupy a similar tier in the broader performance distribution. The nearest rivals for the Intel part include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H at 24,364 (0.1% ahead) and the Intel Core i5-13400 at 24,280 (0.3% behind). For the AMD part, the Intel Core i7-11850H sits 0.1% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is 0.2% behind. These close margins suggest both CPUs are tightly grouped in the overall standings, yet the head-to-head data shows a clear winner in direct comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two processors stem from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Core i7-1360P uses Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process node, fabricated by Intel. It packs 12 cores and 16 threads, arranged in a hybrid configuration that combines performance and efficiency cores. The base clock starts at 2.20 GHz with a boost clock reaching 5.00 GHz. The L1 cache is 80 KB per core, L2 is 2 MB per core, and L3 totals 18 MB shared. The memory interface supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. It includes integrated Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, making it a mobile-focused part on the Intel BGA 1744 socket. The TDP is rated at 28 watts, reflecting its design for laptops and compact systems.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F adopts a completely different blueprint. It uses Zen 4 architecture on a 5 nm process node, fabricated by TSMC. The chip contains 6 cores and 12 threads, all standard high-performance cores without hybrid complexity. Base clock is 3.70 GHz, boost reaches 5.00 GHz. The L1 cache is smaller per core at 64 KB, L2 is 1 MB per core, but L3 is substantially larger at 32 MB shared. Memory support is DDR5 only, dual-channel, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU. There is no integrated graphics, meaning a discrete GPU is mandatory. The TDP is 65 watts, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5. The process node difference is significant: 5 nm versus 10 nm, which partially explains the performance per watt and clock headroom advantages. The AMD chip also supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not.

The transistor count for the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is listed at 6,570 million with a die size of 71 mm². The Intel part does not have published transistor or die size data in the database. The Ryzen 5 7500F has an unlocked multiplier, enabling overclocking, while the Intel Core i7-1360P is locked. Release dates differ: Intel launched on January 3, 2023, AMD on July 21, 2023. The Intel part carries the part number SRMJ8, while AMD uses 100-000000597.

The Verdict

The data unequivocally favors the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F for raw performance. If the workload is multi-threaded rendering, the 50.6% advantage in Cinebench R23 multi-core is transformative. For single-threaded tasks, the 43.2% lead in R23 single-core also gives AMD the edge. The Passmark suite shows AMD winning every category, including the narrow 2.5% margin in floating-point math where Intel comes closest.

Who should pick the Intel Core i7-1360P? The integrated Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units makes it a self-contained solution for systems without a discrete GPU. The 28 watt TDP and mobile socket (BGA 1744) point to laptop or compact designs where power draw and space are constraints. The memory flexibility of DDR4 and DDR5 support could appeal to upgrade paths. However, in pure compute, it loses every head-to-head benchmark.

Who should pick the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F? Anyone building a desktop system with a discrete GPU already in the plan. The lack of integrated graphics is a non-issue if a graphics card is present. The 65 watt TDP is higher but still manageable with a capable air cooler. The unlocked multiplier opens overclocking possibilities. The Gen 5 PCIe lanes and larger L3 cache provide future-proofing. The ECC memory support is a bonus for data integrity. The launch MSRP is $179 for the AMD part versus $480 for the Intel part, though the database notes this without further commentary.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F wins every recorded benchmark comparison. The largest margins are in Cinebench R23 multi-core (50.6% ahead), Passmark extended instructions (49.2% ahead), and Cinebench R23 single-core (43.2% ahead). The smallest margin is in floating-point math at 2.5%. For tasks like video encoding, 3D rendering, scientific simulation, and software compilation, the AMD part provides substantially higher throughput.

The Intel Core i7-1360P still holds advantages in specific usage scenarios not fully captured by raw compute benchmarks. Its integrated graphics make it viable for basic display output and light media tasks without a discrete GPU. The 28 watt TDP positions it for thin-and-light laptops where thermal and power budgets are tight. The DDR4 memory support allows for cheaper memory options in existing systems. The mobile socket design integrates into compact form factors.

For a desktop workstation with a discrete GPU, the Ryzen 5 7500F is the clear choice based on all measured performance data. For a mobile device or a system requiring integrated graphics and low power draw, the Intel Core i7-1360P offers a complete package, though with significantly lower compute performance in every tested workload.
