AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core 5 210H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a clear and consistent pattern across nearly every benchmark in the comparison: the Intel Core 5 210H delivers substantially higher performance than the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. Of the 17 head-to-head tests recorded, the Intel processor wins 16, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS takes a single victory.

That lone AMD win comes in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where the Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 12,342 against the Intel Core 5 210H's 11,830. This represents a 4.3% advantage for the AMD part, and it is the only test in the entire comparison where the Ryzen 5 7533HS finishes ahead. The margin is modest but genuine, and it suggests that in sustained all-core rendering workloads of the type Cinebench R23 represents, the AMD chip's architecture holds a measurable edge.

The Intel Core 5 210H responds with dominant results across the older Cinebench releases. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, Intel scores 1,757 against AMD's 1,243, a 29.3% gap. In single-core R15, Intel posts 247 versus 175, a 29.1% difference. Cinebench R20 shows a similar story: Intel leads multi-core 6,504 to 5,183 (20.3%) and single-core 918 to 731 (20.4%). The Cinebench R23 single-core test is closer, with Intel ahead 1,771 to 1,742, a narrow 1.6% margin, but it remains an Intel win.

PassMark results reinforce the Intel advantage with large deltas in several categories. The biggest single gap appears in floating point math, where Intel scores 45,057 against AMD's 27,800, a 38.3% deficit for the Ryzen part. Integer math shows Intel ahead 61,503 to 50,800, a 17.4% difference. Data compression favors Intel by 22.5% (217,805 versus 168,692), and random string sorting goes to Intel by 24.7% (23,451 versus 17,669). Data encryption shows a 12.1% Intel lead (12,187 versus 10,718), while extended instructions land at 13,370 versus 11,219, a 16.1% gap.

The multithreaded PassMark score puts Intel at 18,252 against AMD's 14,520, a 20.4% advantage. PassMark physics shows Intel at 1,040 versus 821, a 21.1% lead. The find prime numbers test is comparatively close, with Intel at 53 and AMD at 48, a 9.4% difference. Single-thread PassMark results repeat the pattern: Intel scores 3,539 in both single-thread and singlethread entries, while AMD scores 2,740 in both, giving Intel a 22.6% lead.

The average benchmark score tells the broader story. The Intel Core 5 210H records an average of 24,872 across the benchmark suite, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS averages 19,364 and sits in the 73rd percentile. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-13620H (average 24,911, delta of -0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX (24,822, +0.2%), the Intel Core i7-11850H (24,935, -0.3%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (24,964, -0.4%). The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, by contrast, sits alongside the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (19,368, 0% delta), the Intel Core i5-1345U (19,411, -0.2%), the Intel Core i7-8700K (19,238, +0.7%), and the Intel Core i7-10700F (19,499, -0.7%). The data places the Intel part roughly 5,500 points higher in average score and four percentile positions higher.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the Intel Core 5 210H is the higher-performance processor in this pairing for the vast majority of workloads. It wins 16 of 17 head-to-head tests, often by margins of 20% or more. Its largest leads come in floating point math, Cinebench R15 multi-core and single-core, and PassMark multithread, where the deltas range from 20.3% to 38.3%. For users prioritizing raw computational throughput, especially in floating point or mixed integer workloads, the Intel part is the clear choice from the recorded results.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has a narrower case. Its only head-to-head win is Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it beats the Intel chip by 4.3%. That result indicates that in certain modern multi-core rendering scenarios, the AMD processor can outperform the Intel part despite losing in nearly every other metric. The Ryzen 5 7533HS also operates at a lower TDP of 35 watts versus the Intel part's 45 watts, which the data suggests may matter in thermally constrained mobile chassis, though the database does not record thermal or power efficiency measurements for this comparison.

The Intel Core 5 210H carries a launch MSRP of $342. The database does not list a launch MSRP for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, so no direct price comparison is possible from the recorded data.

For a buyer choosing strictly on benchmark performance, the Intel Core 5 210H is the stronger option. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS remains relevant only for scenarios where its Cinebench R23 multi-core advantage and lower TDP are decisive factors, or where the platform differences discussed below matter more than raw scores.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification recorded in the database. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 5 210H uses 8 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks differ substantially: AMD runs at 3.30 GHz, Intel at 2.20 GHz. Boost clocks reverse the order, with AMD at 4.40 GHz and Intel at 4.80 GHz. The AMD part has a 35 W TDP, while the Intel part is rated at 45 W.

Cache layouts diverge as well. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS carries 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel Core 5 210H carries 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The AMD chip has the larger L3 pool, but the Intel chip has significantly more L2 per core.

Memory support shows a clear split. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS supports DDR5 only and records a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 210H supports both DDR4 and DDR5, and the database does not record a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both use dual-channel memory buses, and neither supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs in generation and lane count. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon 660M, Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 48EU.

The socket and platform are entirely different. AMD uses AMD Socket FP7, while Intel uses Intel BGA 1744. The AMD part has part numbers 100-000001632 (FP7) and 100-000001634 (FP7r2), while the Intel part is listed as SRQ6RQ5MN. Both are mobile segment parts with active production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is significant. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS belongs to the 7000 series and uses Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 208 mm². The Intel Core 5 210H uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-H, and is listed as a Raptor Lake Refresh generation part. It is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel, and the database does not record a die size for it.

The generation labels reflect different naming conventions. AMD lists the Ryzen 5 7533HS as Ryzen 5 (Zen 3+ (Rembrandt)), while Intel lists the Core 5 210H as Core 5 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The release dates differ by roughly three and a half months: the AMD part was released on 2024-08-31, and the Intel part on 2024-12-17.

Both processors integrate graphics, but the architectures behind those iGPUs are not detailed in the database beyond their names: Radeon 660M for AMD and Iris Xe Graphics 48EU for Intel. Neither processor supports ECC memory, and neither is multiplier-unlocked. The Intel part's PCIe Gen 5 interface represents a newer generation than AMD's PCIe Gen 4, though the Intel implementation carries fewer lanes. The AMD part's smaller 6 nm process node, as recorded, contrasts with Intel's 10 nm node, and the two chips come from different foundries: TSMC for AMD, Intel for the Intel part. The database does not list transistor counts for either processor, so no comparison of transistor density is possible from the recorded data.
