AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a decisive sweep: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 wins all 11 recorded head-to-head comparisons against the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. The largest margin appears in extended instructions, where the P164 scores 24,193 versus 11,219, a 53.6% advantage. Floating-point math shows a similar gap, with the P164 at 55,799 against 27,800, a 50.2% lead. Data compression results follow closely, with the P164 posting 327,891 versus 168,692, a 48.6% difference.

Random string sorting favors the P164 at 34,801 against 17,669, a 49.2% margin, while multithread performance lands at 25,889 versus 14,520, a 43.9% gap. Integer math shows 87,940 versus 50,800, a 42.2% lead for the P164. The smaller but still substantial margins include data encryption (16,055 versus 10,718, a 33.2% difference), find prime numbers (71 versus 48, a 32.4% gap), physics (1,210 versus 821, a 32.1% lead), and single-thread performance (4,029 versus 2,740, a 32% advantage, recorded identically in both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread).

The single-thread results matter because they indicate the P164's advantage is not merely a function of additional cores. A 32% single-thread lead points to a fundamentally stronger core design, not just more parallel resources. The multithread gap of 43.9% combines that per-core strength with the P164's higher core count, producing a compounded advantage across the PassMark workload suite.

Looking at the broader database context, the Ryzen 5 7533HS sits at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 19,364. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V at 19,368 (0% delta), the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19,411 (-0.2%), and the Intel Core i7-8700K at 19,238 (0.7%). The P164, by contrast, reaches the 91st percentile with an average score of 52,901. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F at 52,873 (0.1%), the Intel Xeon 634 at 52,974 (-0.1%), the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53,206 (-0.6%), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53,288 (-0.7%). The gulf between the two processors in percentile rank, 73 versus 91, and in average score, 19,364 versus 52,901, confirms that these chips occupy different performance tiers entirely.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap explains much of the benchmark delta. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename, built on TSMC's 6 nm process with a die size of 208 mm². The Ryzen AI Embedded P164 uses a different design: it is based on the Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process with a die size of 233 mm². The 2 nm process shrink matters for efficiency and density, though the die size increase suggests the P164 packs more physical logic.

Core and thread counts diverge significantly. The 7533HS provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the P164 offers 8 cores and 16 threads. Cache organization also differs. The 7533HS has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The P164 has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The P164's larger per-core L1 and L2 caches align with its higher single-thread scores, while the 7533HS's larger shared L3 (16 MB versus 8 MB) may help in certain multi-core workloads where the last-level cache is heavily accessed.

Clock speeds favor the P164 in boost, though not in base. The 7533HS runs at a 3.30 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost. The P164 has a lower 2.00 GHz base but a higher 5.00 GHz boost. That 600 MHz boost advantage, combined with the newer architecture, drives the single-thread performance gap. The lower base clock on the P164 likely reflects its 28 W TDP, which is 7 W lower than the 7533HS's 35 W TDP, but the boost behavior shows the newer process can push higher frequencies when thermal headroom allows.

Memory support differs in scope. The 7533HS supports DDR5 only, while the P164 supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, but the P164's memory bandwidth is higher at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on the P164 but not on the 7533HS, a notable differentiator for embedded and reliability-focused workloads. PCIe lanes also differ: the 7533HS provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the P164 provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics diverge as well. The 7533HS uses the Radeon 660M, while the P164 uses the Radeon 880M. This generation jump in iGPU corresponds to the newer architecture and likely contributes to the P164's overall system capability, though the recorded benchmarks do not isolate graphics performance. Socket compatibility also differs: the 7533HS uses AMD Socket FP7, while the P164 uses AMD Socket FP8, so the two are not drop-in interchangeable in existing platforms.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation in intended use cases. The Ryzen AI Embedded P164 delivers substantially higher performance across every recorded benchmark category, with an average score of 52,901 that places it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are desktop-class processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and the AMD EPYC 7313P, which indicates the P164 punches well above its mobile form factor. The 32% single-thread lead over the 7533HS means even lightly threaded applications will see a meaningful uplift, not just heavily parallel workloads.

The Ryzen 5 7533HS, with its 73rd percentile ranking and average score of 19,364, sits closer to mid-range mobile and older desktop parts. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-8700K, a desktop processor from an earlier generation, and the Intel Core i5-1345U, a mobile chip. The 7533HS's advantage is its 35 W TDP and 6-core design, which may fit into power-constrained mobile chassis where the P164's lower 28 W TDP could still be attractive, but the P164 achieves more with less power draw.

For applications that prioritize raw compute throughput, the P164 is the clear choice based on the recorded data. Its 8 cores, 16 threads, higher boost clock, newer architecture, and broader memory support (including ECC) make it suitable for embedded workloads that require reliability and performance. The 7533HS, however, offers a 16 MB shared L3 cache versus the P164's 8 MB, which could benefit certain cache-sensitive workloads, and its higher base clock of 3.30 GHz versus 2.00 GHz may provide more consistent performance in sustained low-frequency operation.

The production status for both is Active, and both are mobile market segments, so neither is discontinued. The release dates differ: the 7533HS launched in 2024, while the P164 is dated 2026, reflecting the newer process and architecture. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not a differentiator. For users who need maximum measured performance, the P164 wins every benchmark in the database. For those who need the larger shared L3 or the specific FP7 socket compatibility, the 7533HS remains the only option of the two.
