AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core 7 160HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and the Intel Core 7 160HL. The Intel Core 7 160HL has no benchmark scores listed in the database, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has a full set of Cinebench and PassMark results. This makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible from the available measurements.

What the data does confirm is that the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS delivers substantial multi-threaded performance for its class. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,342 points and Cinebench R20 multicore score of 5,183 points place it in the 73rd percentile among all CPUs in the database. The single-core results are equally notable: Cinebench R23 single-core at 1,742, Cinebench R20 single-core at 731, and Cinebench R15 single-core at 175. PassMark results include a multithread score of 14,520 and a single-thread score of 2,740.

The nearest rival comparisons for the AMD chip show tight clustering. The Intel Core Ultra 5 226V posts an average score of 19,368, a 0% delta. The Intel Core i5-1345U scores 19,411, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-8700K scores 19,238, which is 0.7% lower. The Intel Core i7-10700F scores 19,499, which is 0.7% higher. These deltas indicate the Ryzen 5 7533HS sits within a very narrow performance band around its direct competitors, with no single rival holding a decisive edge.

The Intel Core 7 160HL has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rival data. The database therefore cannot assign it any wins in this comparison. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, with its full benchmark suite, is the only chip with measurable performance data. Any conclusion about relative performance must rely on architectural specifications rather than direct test results.

The Verdict

The database presents an incomplete comparison. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has a complete benchmark profile, an average benchmark score of 19,364, and a percentile ranking of 73 among all CPUs. The Intel Core 7 160HL has no benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and a percentile ranking of 50. The AMD chip is the only one with measurable performance data in the database.

The AMD chip's nearest rival data shows it performs within 0.7% of the Intel Core i7-8700K, the Intel Core i7-10700F, the Intel Core i5-1345U, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V. This indicates the Ryzen 5 7533HS delivers competitive performance against established desktop and mobile parts despite its modest 6-core configuration.

The Intel Core 7 160HL offers a higher core count, a higher boost clock, and more cache, which suggests strong multi-threaded potential on paper. However, without recorded benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm any performance advantage. The Intel chip also holds a lower percentile ranking of 50, which reflects the absence of measured data rather than a measured deficiency.

For users who rely on the database's recorded measurements, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the only chip with verified performance. Its 73rd percentile ranking and complete benchmark suite provide a concrete basis for comparison. The Intel Core 7 160HL remains an unmeasured entry whose architectural specifications point to high core counts and high boost capability, but whose actual performance is unverified.

Where Each One Wins

AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS wins on verified performance data. The database contains full Cinebench and PassMark results for this chip, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,342 and a PassMark multithread score of 14,520.
