Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It packs 6 cores and 12 threads, with a die size of 208 mm². The Intel Core 7 251TE is built on the Bartlett Lake codename, uses a 10 nm process at Intel’s own foundry, and scales to 24 cores and 32 threads with a die size of 215 mm².

Cache hierarchies also separate the designs. The AMD part allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 pool on the Intel processor aligns with its higher core count, while the per-core L1 and L2 allocations favor Intel as well.

Memory and platform support reflect their different market segments. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile chip on AMD Socket FP7, supporting only DDR5 memory with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Core 7 251TE is a desktop chip on Intel Socket 1700, supporting both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part also includes ECC memory support, which the AMD part lacks.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Radeon 660M, while the Core 7 251TE uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor carries a 35 W TDP, whereas the Intel processor is rated at 45 W. The Intel part’s base clock is 1.40 GHz with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, while the AMD part starts at 3.30 GHz and boosts to 4.40 GHz, giving Intel a higher ceiling despite the lower base frequency.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The data shows a clean sweep for the Intel Core 7 251TE across every recorded test. The largest relative advantage appears in Passmark floating point math, where Intel scores 85,607 against AMD’s 27,800, a 67.5% deficit for the Ryzen. Prime number finding shows a 65.7% gap, with Intel at 140 versus AMD’s 48. Integer math follows at 59.6% behind, with Intel scoring 125,739 and AMD scoring 50,800.

Cinebench results are uniformly consistent. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, Intel posts 2,572 against AMD’s 1,243, a 51.7% difference. Single-core R15 shows the same 51.7% gap, with scores of 362 and 175. R20 multi-core yields a 51.6% delta (10,717 versus 5,183), and R20 single-core again shows 51.7% (1,512 versus 731). R23 multi-core and single-core both land at 51.6% behind for AMD, with scores of 25,518 versus 12,342 and 3,602 versus 1,742 respectively.

Passmark multi-thread performance confirms the pattern. Intel scores 30,022 versus AMD’s 14,520, a 51.6% gap. Data compression shows a 49.6% advantage for Intel (334,399 versus 168,692), while data encryption shows 51.7% (22,176 versus 10,718). Extended instructions narrow the gap to 33.9%, with Intel at 16,974 and AMD at 11,219.

Single-thread workloads show the smallest relative differences. Passmark single-thread and singlethread tests both record 3,568 for Intel and 2,740 for AMD, a 23.2% delta. Physics scores favor Intel at 1,938 versus 821, a 57.6% gap. Random string sorting yields a 55.4% advantage for Intel (39,643 versus 17,669).

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to the Intel Core 7 251TE as the stronger performer in every measured workload. Its 24-core, 32-thread configuration delivers multi-core scores roughly twice those of the 6-core Ryzen 5 7533HS across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, with consistent deltas around 51.6%. The Intel part also leads in single-thread tests, though by a smaller margin: 23.2% in Passmark and 51.6% in Cinebench R15 single-core.

The Ryzen 5 7533HS does offer a lower 35 W TDP versus Intel’s 45 W, which may suit thermally constrained mobile designs. Its PCIe Gen 4 implementation provides 20 lanes, four more than Intel’s Gen 5 setup, though Intel’s newer standard offers higher per-lane bandwidth. The AMD part also launched earlier, in August 2024, versus January 2025 for Intel.

For users prioritizing raw compute, the Intel Core 7 251TE is the clear choice from the recorded data. Its 88th percentile ranking versus 73rd for AMD, its average score of 41,650 versus 19,364, and its undefeated head-to-head record make the performance hierarchy unambiguous. The Ryzen 5 7533HS remains a viable low-power mobile option, but the data does not show any workload where it surpasses the Intel processor.
