AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs AMD Ryzen 7 8700F Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and AMD Ryzen 7 8700F occupy different corners of the processor market, yet their benchmark data reveals a clear hierarchy. The 7533HS is a 6-core mobile part built on the Zen 3+ architecture, while the 8700F is an 8-core desktop processor on Zen 4. Across every recorded benchmark, the 8700F delivers a higher score. The 7533HS does have one distinguishing trait: it includes integrated Radeon 660M graphics, whereas the 8700F has no integrated GPU. The database shows the 8700F with an average benchmark score of 30746, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, while the 7533HS averages 19364, sitting in the 73rd percentile. This places the two processors roughly 59% apart in average total performance, a gap driven by core count, architecture generation, and clock speeds.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows zero benchmark wins for the Ryzen 5 7533HS across the 17 head-to-head comparisons. Every single test, from Cinebench rendering to PassMark math workloads, is won by the Ryzen 7 8700F. This means the 7533HS does not have a category where it outperforms the 8700F in raw computational speed. The only advantage the 7533HS holds is its integrated Radeon 660M graphics, which the 8700F lacks entirely, but that does not appear in the benchmark win column.

The Ryzen 7 8700F, by contrast, wins in all compute-oriented categories. It is stronger in multi-threaded workloads like Cinebench R23 multicore, where it scores 26646 versus 12342, and in single-threaded tasks such as Cinebench R23 singlecore, where it scores 3761 versus 1742. The 8700F also dominates in memory-sensitive and math-heavy PassMark tests, including data compression, encryption, and floating point math. For workloads like video rendering, code compilation, or scientific simulation, the 8700F is the clear choice based on the numbers.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward: the 7533HS is suited for mobile systems where its 35W TDP and integrated graphics matter, such as thin-and-light laptops that need occasional GPU acceleration without a discrete card. The 8700F is a desktop processor aimed at users who prioritize compute performance and have a separate graphics card, as its lack of integrated graphics necessitates a discrete GPU for display output.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most decisive wins for the Ryzen 7 8700F come in multi-core rendering workloads. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the 8700F scores 26646 against the 7533HS’s 12342, a delta of -53.7% (meaning the 7533HS is 53.7% behind). The same -53.7% delta appears in Cinebench R15 multicore (2685 vs 1243) and Cinebench R20 multicore (11191 vs 5183). Single-core Cinebench tests show a similar pattern: R23 singlecore has the 8700F at 3761 versus 1742, again a -53.7% delta, and R15 singlecore shows 378 versus 175.

The largest percentage gap appears in PassMark random string sorting, where the 8700F scores 45425 and the 7533HS scores 17669, a -61.1% delta. This test stresses memory access and pointer chasing, and the 8700F’s higher memory bandwidth (83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s) and larger L2 cache contribute to the margin. Another major gap is in PassMark extended instructions, where the 8700F’s 28474 beats the 7533HS’s 11219 by -60.6%. This reflects the newer Zen 4 architecture’s improved instruction-level throughput.

The smallest gap is in PassMark single-thread tests, where the 8700F scores 3872 versus 2740, a -29.2% delta. This is still a substantial lead, but it is the closest the two processors come. The 8700F’s 5.00 GHz boost clock versus the 7533HS’s 4.40 GHz boost clock explains much of this single-thread advantage. In integer math, the 8700F scores 100371 against 50800, a -49.4% delta, while floating point math shows a -55.6% delta (62629 vs 27800). Data compression shows a -55.4% delta (378160 vs 168692), and encryption shows a -51.5% delta (22117 vs 10718).

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on different architecture generations and process nodes. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses Zen 3+ with the codename Rembrandt-R, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Ryzen 7 8700F uses Zen 4 with the codename Phoenix, fabricated on a 4 nm process at the same foundry. The 8700F’s transistor count is listed at 25,000 million, while the 7533HS has no transistor count recorded; the 8700F’s die size is 178 mm², smaller than the 7533HS’s 208 mm², which reflects the denser 4 nm node.

Core and thread counts differ: the 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the 8700F has 8 cores and 16 threads. The 8700F therefore has two more physical cores and four more threads, which directly scales its multi-threaded performance. The L2 cache also differs: the 7533HS has 512 KB per core, while the 8700F has 1 MB per core, doubling the per-core cache. Both share 16 MB of L3 cache and have 64 KB of L1 per core. The 8700F’s larger L2 cache helps with data reuse in compute-heavy loops.

Clock speeds favor the 8700F substantially. Its base clock is 4.10 GHz with a boost of 5.00 GHz, compared to the 7533HS’s 3.30 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost. The 8700F also has a higher TDP of 65W versus the 7533HS’s 35W, which allows it to sustain higher clocks under load. The 7533HS is an unlocked multiplier? No, it is not, while the 8700F has an unlocked multiplier, enabling overclocking on AM5 motherboards.

The memory subsystem is similar in type but not in bandwidth. Both support DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, but the 8700F has a higher theoretical memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for the 7533HS. Neither supports ECC memory. The PCIe configuration is identical: both use Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The key difference in features is the integrated graphics: the 7533HS includes Radeon 660M, while the 8700F has N/A, meaning no integrated GPU. This makes the 8700F dependent on a discrete graphics card for any display output.

The 7533HS uses AMD Socket FP7 and is classified as a mobile processor, while the 8700F uses AMD Socket AM5 and is a desktop processor. Their release dates differ: the 7533HS launched on 2024-08-31, while the 8700F launched on 2024-03-31, making the 8700F older by roughly five months. The 8700F has a launch MSRP of $270, while the 7533HS has no recorded launch MSRP.
