AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core 7 150UL Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits these two processors along clear lines of workload type, but with an important caveat: the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has a full suite of recorded benchmark results, while the Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes direct head-to-head comparison impossible for individual tests. What the data does show is where the AMD part stands on its own merits, and where the Intel part positions itself through its specifications.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS wins in multithreaded productivity workloads based on its recorded scores. The Cinebench R23 multicore result of 12342 points and the Cinebench R20 multicore score of 5183 points indicate strong parallel performance for rendering, video encoding, and compile tasks. The PassMark multithread score of 14520 reinforces this, as does the integer math score of 50800 and floating point math score of 27800. These numbers place the 7533HS at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 19364.

The Intel Core 7 150UL, despite having no benchmark scores, does win on paper in certain architectural characteristics. Its 10 cores versus 6 cores gives it a raw core count advantage for heavily threaded workloads, assuming software can utilize all of them. The boost clock of 5.00 GHz exceeds the AMD part's 4.40 GHz boost, which could translate to single-thread speed advantages in lightly threaded applications. However, without recorded benchmark data, these wins remain speculative rather than measured.

For single-thread performance, the AMD part shows solid results: Cinebench R23 single-core at 1742 points, Cinebench R20 single-core at 731 points, and PassMark single thread at 2740. These scores indicate capable day-to-day responsiveness for web browsing, office documents, and general desktop use. The Intel part's higher boost clock suggests it might outperform in such tasks, but the database contains no measurements to confirm this.

The AMD processor also wins in memory bandwidth with a rated 76.8 GB/s, which benefits memory-intensive workloads like data compression. The PassMark data compression score of 168692 reflects this strength. The Intel part lists no memory bandwidth figure, so no comparison is possible there.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture on a 6 nm process node manufactured by TSMC, with the Rembrandt-R codename. It belongs to the 7000 series and the Ryzen 5 generation specifically built on Zen 3+ (Rembrandt). The Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process node manufactured by Intel, with the Raptor Lake-PS codename and Core 7 generation designation.

Core organization differs significantly. The AMD part provides 6 cores and 12 threads, all using the same Zen 3+ cores. The Intel part provides 10 cores and 12 threads, which in Raptor Lake architecture implies a hybrid arrangement of performance and efficiency cores, though the database does not specify the exact core mix. The thread count being equal at 12 threads despite the core count difference suggests the Intel part uses some cores without hyperthreading.

Cache hierarchies diverge substantially. The AMD processor allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has more L1 and L2 cache per core, which can benefit latency-sensitive workloads, while the AMD part has more total L3 cache, which can benefit data-sharing across cores.

Clock speeds and power targets tell a contrasting story. The AMD part runs at a 3.30 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock with a 35 W TDP. The Intel part runs at a much lower 1.70 GHz base clock but a higher 5.00 GHz boost clock with a 15 W TDP. The lower base clock and TDP suggest the Intel part prioritizes energy efficiency at idle and light loads, while the higher boost clock suggests short bursts of high performance when needed. The AMD part maintains higher sustained clocks across all cores due to its higher TDP envelope.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory only, in a dual-channel configuration. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, also in a dual-channel configuration. This gives the Intel part flexibility for system builders using older memory technology.

The Verdict

The data supports distinct conclusions for each processor based on what is actually measured versus what is merely specified.

For users who need verified multithreaded performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the clear choice from the database. Its recorded Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12342 points and PassMark multithread score of 14520 place it at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with an average score of 19368 (a 0% delta), the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19411 (-0.2% delta), the Intel Core i7-8700K at 19238 (0.7% delta), and the Intel Core i7-10700F at 19499 (-0.7% delta). The AMD part sits squarely in this performance band, within 1% of each rival in either direction.

For users who prioritize efficiency and flexibility, the Intel Core 7 150UL offers advantages on paper. Its 15 W TDP is less than half the AMD part's 35 W TDP, suggesting lower power consumption for thermally constrained systems. Its support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory gives it broader compatibility. Its 10 cores provide more parallel hardware threads, and its 5.00 GHz boost clock is the highest clock speed between the two processors.

The Intel part's lack of benchmark data in the database means its actual performance cannot be verified. The AMD part's scores are all measured and recorded. Until benchmark results exist for the Intel part, the AMD processor remains the only one with proven performance in the database.

Users who need verified performance should select the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. Users who need maximum core count, highest boost clock, and lowest power draw on paper, and who can accept unverified performance, may consider the Intel Core 7 150UL.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons are not possible because the Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the win counts for both processors are zero. This section therefore examines the AMD processor's recorded results against the context of its nearest rivals, since those rivals are the only measured points of comparison available.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS delivers a strong Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12342 points. This places it in a competitive band with its nearest rivals, all of which cluster around the 19238 to 19499 average score range. The delta percentages are all within 1%: the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V is exactly even at 0%, the Intel Core i5-1345U trails by 0.2%, the Intel Core i7-8700K leads by 0.7%, and the Intel Core i7-10700F trails by 0.7%. The AMD part's average benchmark score of 19364 sits almost exactly in the middle of this group.

In single-thread performance, the AMD part records a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1742 points and a PassMark single thread score of 2740. These are solid numbers for everyday responsiveness, though no direct rival comparison is available in the database for these specific tests.

The AMD part's PassMark integer math score of 50800 and floating point math score of 27800 indicate strong arithmetic throughput for scientific and financial workloads. The data encryption score of 10718 and extended instructions score of 11219 show capable cryptographic and SIMD performance. The data compression score of 168692 reflects the 76.8 GB/s memory bandwidth advantage.

Since the Intel part has no measurements, the only conclusions the data supports are about the AMD part's absolute performance level. It sits at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, which means it outperforms roughly three-quarters of the processors in the database. This is a competitive position for a mobile processor with a 35 W TDP.
