AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core 7 350 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits these two mobile processors along clear lines of workload character. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS wins 5 of the 17 recorded head-to-head tests, while the Intel Core 7 350 wins 12. That simple tally, however, hides a more interesting pattern: the AMD part dominates in sustained multi-threaded rendering and integer-heavy throughput, while the Intel part takes nearly every single-threaded and floating-point test.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS shows its strength in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it records 12,342 points against 8,030 for the Intel Core 7 350, a 53.7% advantage. This is the single largest margin in either direction across the entire comparison. The AMD chip also wins PassMark integer math by 50.6%, scoring 50,800 versus 33,734, and data compression by 17.9%, at 168,692 versus 143,123. Random string sorting goes to AMD as well, though by a slim 2.5% margin (17,669 versus 17,238). These are workloads that scale with thread count and cache capacity, which aligns with the AMD processor's 12 threads and 16 MB of shared L3 cache.

The Intel Core 7 350, by contrast, sweeps the single-threaded tests. Its PassMark single-thread score of 4,100 towers over the AMD's 2,740, a 33.2% lead. In Cinebench R15 single-core, Intel wins 292 versus 175, a remarkable 40.1% gap. The Intel part also wins floating-point math decisively, scoring 42,809 against 27,800, a 35.1% advantage, and physics simulation at 1,173 versus 821, a 30% lead. Prime number finding shows the largest percentage gap, with Intel at 107 versus AMD's 48, a 55.1% difference. Extended instructions go Intel's way by 6.9%, and data encryption by 2%.

The mixed multi-core Cinebench results are telling. Intel wins Cinebench R20 multi-core by 3.5% (5,373 versus 5,183) and Cinebench R15 multi-core by 1.9% (1,243 versus 1,220), yet loses Cinebench R23 multi-core by 53.7%. The PassMark multithread test also goes to Intel, 15,170 versus 14,520, a 4.3% margin. This suggests the two chips respond very differently to workload duration and instruction mix, not simply to thread count.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture on the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm TSMC process with a 208 mm² die. It packs 6 cores with 12 threads through simultaneous multithreading. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, yielding 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. It has 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes available from the CPU. The integrated graphics is a Radeon 660M.

The Intel Core 7 350 uses the Wildcat Lake codename on a 3 nm Intel process. It also has 6 cores but only 6 threads, meaning no hyper-threading support. Its cache layout is very different: 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and just 6 MB of shared L3. Memory support spans DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a single-channel bus, delivering 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. PCIe is Gen 4 but only 6 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics is Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores.

The process node difference is stark: 6 nm TSMC versus 3 nm Intel. The smaller node helps explain the Intel part's dramatically better single-thread performance and lower power envelope. The Intel chip's base clock is just 1.50 GHz, but it boosts to 4.80 GHz. The AMD part has a 3.30 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost. The Intel processor's huge boost headroom, combined with the denser process, produces the single-thread dominance seen in the benchmarks. The TDP figures tell the same story: the AMD chip is rated at 35 W, while the Intel part is rated at 15 W. The AMD chip uses its higher power budget to sustain multi-threaded workloads, while the Intel part relies on burst performance.

The cache asymmetry is also significant. The Intel chip has much larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, which benefits single-threaded and latency-sensitive work. The AMD chip has more than double the shared L3 capacity, which helps when all cores are active and sharing data. The memory bus difference, dual-channel versus single-channel, gives AMD a bandwidth advantage that shows in data-heavy workloads.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest win for AMD comes in Cinebench R23 multi-core. The Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 12,342 against 8,030 for the Core 7 350, a 53.7% lead. This is a massive gap for two six-core mobile processors. The AMD chip also dominates PassMark integer math, 50,800 versus 33,734, a 50.6% difference. Data compression shows AMD ahead at 168,692 versus 143,123, a 17.9% margin. Random string sorting is closer, 17,669 versus 17,238, a 2.5% AMD win.

The Intel part's biggest win is in PassMark find prime numbers, where it scores 107 versus 48, a 55.1% advantage. Cinebench R15 single-core shows Intel ahead 292 versus 175, a 40.1% gap. PassMark floating-point math goes Intel's way at 42,809 versus 27,800, a 35.1% margin. PassMark single-thread is 4,100 versus 2,740, a 33.2% lead. PassMark physics shows Intel at 1,173 versus 821, a 30% difference. Cinebench R23 single-core gives Intel 2,046 versus 1,742, a 14.9% margin. Extended instructions go Intel 12,045 versus 11,219, a 6.9% lead. Cinebench R20 single-core is close, 758 versus 731, a 3.6% Intel win. PassMark multithread sees Intel at 15,170 versus 14,520, a 4.3% edge. Cinebench R20 multi-core gives Intel 5,373 versus 5,183, a 3.5% margin. Data encryption goes Intel 10,933 versus 10,718, a 2% difference. Cinebench R15 multi-core is nearly tied, with AMD at 1,243 and Intel at 1,220, a 1.9% AMD margin.

The pattern across these tests is consistent. When the workload is short, single-threaded, or floating-point heavy, the Intel Core 7 350 wins by wide margins. When the workload is long, multi-threaded, or integer heavy, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS takes over. The Cinebench R20 results are the exception, where Intel wins multi-core by a small margin, but the R23 multi-core test, which runs longer, flips decisively to AMD.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates these two processors by workload type, not by overall quality. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the stronger choice for sustained multi-threaded rendering and integer-heavy computation. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,342 versus 8,030 is a decisive 53.7% advantage, and its PassMark integer math win of 50,800 versus 33,734 confirms the pattern. The 12 threads and 16 MB of shared L3 cache, combined with the 35 W TDP, allow it to maintain throughput where the Intel part fades.

The Intel Core 7 350 is the stronger choice for single-threaded responsiveness, floating-point workloads, and power-sensitive designs. Its 15 W TDP and 3 nm process deliver a PassMark single-thread score of 4,100 versus 2,740, a 33.2% edge. The floating-point math result, 42,809 versus 27,800, shows a 35.1% advantage.
