AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core 3 305 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive overall win for the Intel Core 3 305, which takes 14 of the 17 head-to-head benchmark comparisons. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS claims only three wins, but those wins are substantial in specific workloads.

The most striking margin comes in PassMark integer math, where the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 50,800 against the Intel Core 3 305's 32,295, a 57.3% advantage. This is the largest delta recorded between the two processors in any test. The AMD part also leads in data compression with a score of 168,692 versus 146,857, a 14.9% edge. In random string sorting, the AMD chip wins by a slim 0.3%, scoring 17,669 against 17,623.

The Intel Core 3 305 responds across the Cinebench suite. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 13,123 versus 12,342, a 6% lead. The single-core gap is similar at 5.9%, with the Intel part scoring 1,852 against 1,742. Cinebench R20 multicore shows 5,511 versus 5,183 (6% advantage), and Cinebench R15 multicore shows 1,322 versus 1,243. The pattern repeats across every Cinebench iteration, with the Intel part leading by roughly 6% in multicore and 5.9% in single-core.

PassMark multithread gives the Intel part a 15,439 score against 14,520, again a 6% gap. The single-thread test shows a much larger divide: the Intel Core 3 305 scores 3,977 against 2,740, a 31.1% advantage. This is the second-largest margin recorded in the head-to-head data.

Floating point math heavily favors the Intel chip, which scores 42,284 versus 27,800, a 34.3% lead. PassMark physics shows a similar pattern at 1,233 versus 821, a 33.4% gap. The Intel part also leads in find prime numbers by 58.3% (115 versus 48), in extended instructions by 17.2% (13,543 versus 11,219), and in data encryption by 2.7% (11,019 versus 10,718).

The average benchmark score confirms the overall position. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS records an average of 19,364 and sits at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 3 305 records an average of 18,302 and sits at the 72nd percentile. The AMD part's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V at 19,368 (0% delta) and the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19,411 (-0.2%). The Intel Core 3 305's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-14100 at 18,318 (-0.1%) and the Intel Core 5 330 at 18,345 (-0.2%). Despite the Intel part winning most direct comparisons, the AMD chip's average score is higher, which reflects the large size of the AMD wins in integer math and compression relative to the narrower Intel leads across most other tests.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the stronger part in integer-heavy and compression-oriented tasks. Its 57.3% lead in integer math indicates a clear advantage in workloads that process large volumes of whole-number arithmetic. The 14.9% lead in data compression suggests file archiving and similar tasks run at a measurable advantage. The narrow 0.3% win in random string sorting is minor, but it still contributes to the AMD part's three-win total.

The Intel Core 3 305 dominates nearly everywhere else. The 31.1% single-thread lead makes it the better choice for lightly threaded applications where responsiveness depends on per-core speed. The 34.3% advantage in floating point math points toward scientific and numerical workloads. The 33.4% lead in physics indicates stronger performance in simulation-type tasks. The 17.2% lead in extended instructions suggests better handling of specialized instruction sets. The 58.3% lead in find prime numbers reinforces the Intel part's advantage in iterative, branch-heavy computation.

The Cinebench results, which all fall in the 5.9% to 6% range, show a consistent but modest Intel lead in both single-core and multi-core rendering workloads. The PassMark multithread result at 6% matches that pattern. The Intel part also leads in data encryption by 2.7%, a smaller margin than its other wins.

Specification Differences

The two processors share a core count of 6, but the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS supports 12 threads through simultaneous multithreading, while the Intel Core 3 305 is limited to 6 threads. Base clocks differ sharply: the AMD part runs at 3.30 GHz, the Intel part at 1.50 GHz. Boost clocks are closer at 4.40 GHz for AMD and 4.30 GHz for Intel.

Thermal design power differs by 20 watts. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is rated at 35 W, while the Intel Core 3 305 is rated at 15 W. Sockets are incompatible: the AMD part uses AMD Socket FP7, the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1516.

Memory support shows a major split. The AMD chip supports DDR5 with a dual-channel memory bus and 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X but uses a single-channel memory bus with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Neither supports ECC memory.

PCIe lane counts differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Intel Core 3 305 provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 660M, the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics (1 Xe).

The Intel Core 3 305 has a launch MSRP of $309. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has no recorded launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R. It is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 208 mm². The Intel Core 3 305 uses the Wildcat Lake codename under the Core 3 generation and is built on a 3 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD part allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, with 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part lists a total of 192 KB of L1 cache, 2.5 MB of L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part therefore provides more than double the L3 capacity.

The release dates are far apart. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS was released on 2024-08-31, while the Intel Core 3 305 is dated 2026-04-15. Both processors are listed as active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The AMD part's part number is listed as 100-000001632(FP7) and 100-000001634(FP7r2), while the Intel part uses SAE3L. Both target the mobile market segment.

The Verdict

The benchmark data supports a clear split by workload type. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the better choice for integer math and data compression tasks, where its 57.3% and 14.9% leads are decisive. The Intel Core 3 305 is the better choice for single-threaded responsiveness, floating point workloads, physics simulation, and extended instruction execution. Its 31.1% single-thread lead and 34.3% floating point lead are substantial.

The Intel Core 3 305 wins the majority of direct comparisons, but the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS records a higher average benchmark score at 19,364 versus 18,302. This is because the AMD wins are large while the Intel wins, though frequent, are often smaller. In Cinebench and PassMark multithread tests, the Intel lead is consistently around 6%. In single-thread and math-oriented tests, the Intel lead ranges from 17.2% to 58.3%.

The Intel part also operates at a 15 W TDP, which is 20 W lower than the AMD part's 35 W rating. The AMD part provides 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes against the Intel part's 6, and the AMD part uses a dual-channel memory bus with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth versus the Intel part's single-channel 59.7 GB/s. These differences do not translate into overall benchmark dominance for the AMD part, but they matter for specific usage patterns.

The data indicates that the Intel Core 3 305 is the broader performer across the recorded tests, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the specialist in integer and compression workloads. Users prioritizing those specific tasks should favor the AMD part. Users prioritizing general responsiveness, floating point math, physics, and rendering should favor the Intel part.
