AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a consistent and substantial performance advantage for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U across every recorded test. The Ryzen 5 7533HS does not secure a single win in the head-to-head comparison, with the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U taking all 17 recorded benchmarks.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 20,254 points against 12,342 points for the Ryzen 5 7533HS, a 39.1% difference. The single-core result in the same test shows the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U at 2,859 points versus 1,742 points, again a 39.1% gap. This pattern of roughly 39% deficits for the Ryzen 5 7533HS repeats across most Cinebench tests: R15 multi-core (1,243 vs 2,041, 39.1%), R15 single-core (175 vs 288, 39.2%), R20 multi-core (5,183 vs 8,506, 39.1%), and R20 single-core (731 vs 1,200, 39.1%). The consistency of this delta across both single-threaded and multi-threaded Cinebench workloads indicates a fundamental per-core performance difference rather than a scaling issue.

PassMark results show a wider range of deltas. The largest advantage for the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U appears in random string sorting, where it scores 33,109 against 17,669, a 46.6% difference. Floating point math follows closely with the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U at 50,746 versus 27,800, a 45.2% gap. Integer math shows a 42.5% difference (88,339 vs 50,800), while extended instructions are 41.4% apart (19,132 vs 11,219). Data compression shows a 38.1% delta (272,664 vs 168,692), and data encryption is 34.8% apart (16,441 vs 10,718). The smallest gap in the entire comparison is in PassMark single-thread, where the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U leads by 24.7% (3,641 vs 2,740). PassMark physics shows a 30.1% difference (1,174 vs 821), and prime number finding is 36.8% apart (76 vs 48).

The overall average benchmark score reflects this dominance. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U averages 32,233 points, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Ryzen 5 7533HS averages 19,364 points, sitting in the 73rd percentile. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-11900 (32,226 points, 0% delta), the Intel Core i5-14400F (32,279 points, -0.1%), and the Intel Core i7-12800H (32,121 points, 0.3%). The Ryzen 5 7533HS sits near the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (19,368 points, 0% delta), the Intel Core i5-1345U (19,411 points, -0.2%), and the Intel Core i7-8700K (19,238 points, 0.7%). These rival placements confirm that the two processors occupy different performance strata despite their similar mobile positioning.

Architecture Differences

The two processors belong to different AMD generations and architectures. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a 7000 series part built on Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is an 8000 series part using Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename. This generation gap explains much of the per-core performance delta observed in single-threaded benchmarks.

The process node differs substantially. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses TSMC's 6 nm process, while the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is manufactured on a 4 nm process, also by TSMC. The smaller node contributes to the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U's higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz, compared to 4.40 GHz for the Ryzen 5 7533HS. Both processors share the same 3.30 GHz base clock. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U also carries a transistor count of 25,000 million on a 178 mm² die, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS die size is 208 mm² with no transistor figure recorded.

Core and thread counts differ as expected from the naming. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Cache configuration also differs: both share 64 KB of L1 per core and 16 MB of shared L3, but the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U doubles the L2 to 1 MB per core against 512 KB per core for the Ryzen 5 7533HS.

Memory bandwidth favors the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for the Ryzen 5 7533HS, both using DDR5 with dual-channel memory buses. ECC memory support is present on the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U but absent on the Ryzen 5 7533HS, a notable distinction for PRO-series positioning. Both processors use PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only) and share the same AMD Socket FP7.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Radeon 660M, while the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U steps up to the Radeon 780M. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is also rated at a lower TDP of 28 watts against 35 watts for the Ryzen 5 7533HS, meaning the higher-performing part draws less power on paper. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U released on 2024-04-15, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS followed on 2024-08-31. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The benchmark data presents a clear hierarchy between these two mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U outperforms the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS in every recorded benchmark, with deltas ranging from 24.7% in PassMark single-thread to 46.6% in random string sorting. The average benchmark score difference is substantial: 32,233 versus 19,364, which translates to an 83rd percentile placement against a 73rd percentile placement in the full CPU database.

The architectural gap explains the consistency of this advantage. The Zen 4 architecture on a 4 nm process delivers higher per-core performance than Zen 3+ on 6 nm, as shown by the single-core Cinebench results where the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U leads by roughly 39% despite both processors sharing a 3.30 GHz base clock. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U also adds two more cores and four more threads, doubling the L2 cache per core, and reaches a higher 5.10 GHz boost clock. These factors compound to produce the multi-threaded dominance seen in Cinebench R23 multi-core and PassMark multi-thread.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U also carries enterprise-oriented features that the Ryzen 5 7533HS lacks, specifically ECC memory support and the PRO-series positioning. It achieves this while rated at a lower TDP of 28 watts, compared to 35 watts for the Ryzen 5 7533HS. The Ryzen 5 7533HS does offer a newer release date and a larger die area, but neither translates into a benchmark advantage in the recorded data.

For mobile systems where processing throughput matters most, the recorded data points directly to the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U. For systems where the lower core count and lower bandwidth of the Ryzen 5 7533HS are acceptable, the Ryzen 5 7533HS still delivers 73rd percentile performance, but every measurable workload in the database favors the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U.
