AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits cleanly between the two processors. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has a full benchmark suite on file, with scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and Passmark workloads. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U, by contrast, has no benchmark results recorded in the database. This means every measurable performance comparison currently favors the 7533HS by default, not because it is necessarily faster in every task, but because it is the only one of the two with verified numbers.

Looking at the 7533HS results, the strongest showing is in Cinebench R23 multicore, where it scores 12342 points. Its single-core score in the same test is 1742. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 5183 and single-core is 731. The older R15 test shows a multicore score of 1243 and a single-core score of 175. These are the only Cinebench entries, and they indicate a processor that scales well across all cores in threaded workloads.

Passmark results for the 7533HS cover a wider range of tasks. The multithread score is 14520, while single-thread is 2740. Integer math reaches 50800, floating point math hits 27800, and extended instructions score 11219. Data encryption records 10718, data compression reaches 168692, and random string sorting scores 17669. Physics processing scores 821, and the find prime numbers test records 48. The average benchmark score for the 7533HS is 19364, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The 8840U has no wins in any recorded category because no scores exist for it. Its percentile against all CPUs is listed at 50, but its average benchmark score is 0. The database cannot assign performance wins to a processor without measurement data, so the 7533HS holds every available win by default. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the win counts for both processors are zero, confirming that no direct comparison data has been recorded.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different generations and use different underlying architectures. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a 7000 series part built on Zen 3+ architecture, codenamed Rembrandt-R. It uses a 6 nm process node from TSMC and has a die size of 208 mm². The Ryzen Embedded 8840U is an 8000 series part built on Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Hawk Point. It uses a 4 nm process node, also from TSMC, with a die size of 178 mm² and 25,000 million transistors.

Core counts differ. The 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads. The 8840U has 8 cores and 16 threads. Both have a base clock of 3.30 GHz, but the boost clock differs: the 7533HS reaches 4.40 GHz, while the 8840U boosts to 5.10 GHz. The 8840U therefore offers two more cores, four more threads, and a higher maximum clock speed on paper, though no benchmark data confirms how that translates into real performance.

Cache configurations also differ. Both chips have 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The L2 cache is where they diverge: the 7533HS has 512 KB per core, while the 8840U has 1 MB per core. With more cores and double the per-core L2, the 8840U has a substantially larger total L2 footprint on paper.

Memory support is DDR5 for both, with dual-channel memory buses. The 7533HS records a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the 8840U records 89.6 GB/s. The 8840U also supports ECC memory, while the 7533HS does not. Both use PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The 7533HS uses a Radeon 660M, while the 8840U uses a Radeon 780M. No graphics benchmark scores are recorded for either chip. The 7533HS uses AMD Socket FP7, while the 8840U uses AMD Socket FP8. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The 7533HS has a TDP of 35 watts, while the 8840U has a TDP of 28 watts, making the embedded part the lower-power option on paper despite its additional cores.

The 7533HS has a release date of 2024-08-31 and is listed as Active in production. The 8840U has a release date of 2024-04-01 and is also Active. The 7533HS has a known part number (100-000001632 for FP7 and 100-000001634 for FP7r2), while the 8840U part number is listed as unknown. Neither chip has a recorded launch MSRP.

The Verdict

Based strictly on recorded data, the Ryzen 5 7533HS is the only one of the two with measurable performance. Its average benchmark score of 19364 places it at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with an average score of 19368 and a delta of 0 percent, the Intel Core i5-1345U with 19411 and a delta of -0.2 percent, the Intel Core i7-8700K with 19238 and a delta of 0.7 percent, and the Intel Core i7-10700F with 19499 and a delta of -0.7 percent. This places the 7533HS within a narrow band of desktop and mobile processors from several generations.

The Ryzen Embedded 8840U has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its 50th percentile ranking appears to be a default value rather than a measured result. Anyone choosing between these two chips on the basis of database measurements will find evidence only for the 7533HS.

The 8840U does offer architectural advantages on paper: 8 cores versus 6, 16 threads versus 12, a 5.10 GHz boost clock versus 4.40 GHz, 1 MB L2 per core versus 512 KB, a smaller 4 nm process node, ECC memory support, and higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s. It also carries the Radeon 780M instead of the Radeon 660M. These differences are real, but they are not backed by any recorded benchmark results.

The 7533HS, meanwhile, has verified multicore and single-core scores across three Cinebench versions and multiple Passmark workloads. Its data shows a capable 6-core processor that competes closely with the Intel chips listed as nearest rivals. The delta percentages are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the 7533HS sits in a tightly contested performance tier.

The verdict from the data is straightforward: the 7533HS is the processor with measured performance, while the 8840U is an unmeasured part with stronger theoretical specifications. The 8840U may be the better choice for applications that need its extra cores, higher boost clock, ECC support, or lower TDP, but the database cannot confirm any of that with scores. The 7533HS is the only chip here with numbers, and the numbers are competitive with its listed rivals.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no recorded head-to-head benchmark results between the Ryzen 5 7533HS and the Ryzen Embedded 8840U. The database lists no comparative test scores and no wins for either processor in a direct matchup. Any analysis of relative performance must therefore rely on the 7533HS absolute scores and its position against its nearest rivals.

The 7533HS Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12342 is its highest recorded multicore result. The single-core score of 1742 in the same test shows a moderate ratio between single-thread and multi-thread performance. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score of 5183 against a single-core score of 731 suggests the processor gains substantial throughput when all six cores are active. The R15 results follow the same pattern: 1243 multicore versus 175 single-core.

Passmark data adds more detail. The multithread score of 14520 is nearly 5.3 times the single-thread score of 2740, which indicates strong scaling under parallel workloads. Integer math at 50800 outpaces floating point math at 27800, a typical result for this architecture class. Extended instructions score 11219, data encryption scores 10718, and data compression reaches 168692. Random string sorting records 17669, physics processing records 821, and the prime number search records 48.

Against its nearest rivals, the 7533HS is effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, which has an average score of 19368 and a 0 percent delta. The Core i5-1345U is 0.2 percent ahead, the Core i7-8700K is 0.7 percent behind, and the Core i7-10700F is 0.7 percent ahead. These are all sub-1 percent differences, meaning the 7533HS sits in a very tight competitive cluster.

The 8840U has no comparable numbers. Its theoretical advantages, 8 cores, 16 threads, 5.10 GHz boost, 1 MB L2 per core, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, remain unverified in the database. The 7533HS is the only processor in this comparison with measured results, and those results place it in a competitive position against several Intel parts from both mobile and desktop segments.
