AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the Intel Core 5 213PTE wins every single head-to-head comparison against the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. Across all 17 recorded tests, the Intel part holds a 100% win rate, with deltas ranging from 25.6% to 69.4% in its favor. The database shows the Intel Core 5 213PTE sits at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS sits at the 73rd percentile. The average benchmark score tells the same story: 32924 for Intel versus 19364 for AMD, a 70% gap in raw aggregate performance.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile processor aimed at thin-and-light systems, with a 35W TDP and a 6-core, 12-thread configuration. The Intel Core 5 213PTE is a desktop part with 8 cores and 16 threads, a 45W TDP, and a boost clock that reaches 5.20 GHz. The data indicates that anyone selecting between these two for raw compute should choose the Intel part without hesitation. There is no workload category in the recorded results where the AMD chip comes out ahead.

The only context where the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS makes sense is in a system design that requires its specific mobile platform characteristics: the AMD Socket FP7, integrated Radeon 660M graphics, and its 6nm process node. But from a pure performance standpoint, the Intel Core 5 213PTE is the decisive winner in every measured category.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing processes. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is built on a 6nm process at TSMC, using the Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename. It belongs to the 7000 series and the Ryzen 5 generation. The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses a 10nm process at Intel's own foundry, with the Bartlett Lake codename, and it belongs to the Core 5 generation.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 8 cores and 16 threads. That is a 33% advantage in core count and thread count for Intel, which partially explains the multi-threaded benchmark results. Clock speeds also favor Intel. The AMD chip has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Intel chip starts lower at 2.10 GHz base but boosts to 5.20 GHz, an 18% higher maximum frequency.

Cache hierarchies are substantially different. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 5 213PTE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core (four times more L2 per core), and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel part also has a larger total L2 allocation because it has more cores, each with more cache.

The memory interfaces are identical in bandwidth at 76.8 GB/s and both are dual-channel, but the supported memory types differ. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not. PCIe capabilities differ as well: the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the Intel Core 5 213PTE provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics differ. AMD uses the Radeon 660M, while Intel uses the UHD Graphics 730. The sockets are incompatible: AMD Socket FP7 for the Ryzen part, Intel Socket 1700 for the Core 5 part. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $221. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The AMD chip has a smaller die at 208 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE wins everywhere in the recorded data. There are zero wins for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS across all 17 head-to-head benchmarks. The closest margin for AMD is in PassMark data encryption, where the Intel part leads by 25.6%, and in single-thread PassMark, where the lead is 26.3%. The widest margins are in prime number finding (69.4% Intel lead), physics (62.7%), and floating point math (61.2%).

For the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, the strongest relative results appear in the encryption and single-thread tests, though it still loses those. The data suggests the AMD chip is comparatively less disadvantaged in memory-bound or lightly threaded integer work, but the absolute scores remain lower across the board.

The Intel Core 5 213PTE is particularly dominant in compute-heavy floating point workloads. Its PassMark floating point score of 71722 versus 27800 for AMD represents a 61.2% advantage. Prime number finding shows the largest gap: 157 versus 48, a 69.4% deficit for AMD. In multi-threaded rendering workloads, the Cinebench R23 multicore score is 21751 for Intel versus 12342 for AMD, a 43.3% lead.

The AMD part does have a lower TDP at 35W versus 45W for Intel. In thermally constrained mobile chassis, that lower power envelope is a design advantage, but the recorded benchmarks do not include any power efficiency metrics, so the performance-per-watt relationship cannot be quantified from this data.
