Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and Intel Core i3-14100 come from fundamentally different design schools. AMD uses Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. Intel uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The die sizes reflect this: AMD's die measures 208 mm², while Intel's is smaller at 163 mm².

Core counts differ significantly. The Ryzen 5 7533HS packs 6 cores and 12 threads, giving it a 50% advantage in core count over the Core i3-14100's 4 cores and 8 threads. That extra parallelism does not always translate into victory, as the benchmark data shows Intel winning most multi-core Cinebench tests. Clock speeds favor Intel: 3.50 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost versus 3.30 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost for AMD.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The larger per-core L2 on Intel likely contributes to its single-thread advantage.

Power envelopes separate the two clearly. The AMD chip is rated at 35 W TDP, targeting mobile systems, while Intel is rated at 60 W TDP for desktop. The socket and platform differ accordingly: AMD uses Socket FP7, Intel uses Socket 1700. PCIe support also differs: AMD offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes, Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

Integrated graphics present another split. AMD includes Radeon 660M graphics, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The AMD chip is marked as Mobile market segment, and Intel is marked as Desktop. The Ryzen 5 7533HS released on 2024-08-31, while the Core i3-14100 released earlier on 2024-01-07.

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the Intel Core i3-14100 as the stronger performer in most measured workloads. It wins all six Cinebench tests, from R15 multicore through R23 single-core, with margins between 3.7% and 3.8%. It also wins PassMark multithread by 3.8%, extended instructions by 5.4%, prime numbers by 12.7%, floating point math by 21.2%, physics by 14.3%, and single-thread by 27.1%. That is a dominant spread across rendering, math, and general processing.

For users prioritizing raw throughput in integer math or encryption, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the better pick. It leads integer math by 12.1%, data encryption by 21.3%, and random string sorting by 1.6%. Those wins matter for specific workloads like cryptographic operations or integer-heavy calculations, but they do not offset the breadth of Intel's victories.

The AMD chip's higher average benchmark score of 19364 versus 18318 is notable. It places in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, while Intel sits at the 72nd percentile. That suggests AMD's overall profile, across a wider set of tests, edges ahead despite losing most head-to-head comparisons. The nearest rivals for AMD include the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V at 19368 and the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19411. Intel's nearest rivals include the Intel Core 3 305 at 18302 and the Intel Core i5-13100 at 18380.

For a desktop builder needing broad application performance, the Core i3-14100 is the choice. For a mobile system where power draw is a factor, the 35 W Ryzen 5 7533HS is the only option that fits that envelope. The data does not support a single universal winner; it supports Intel for most tasks and AMD for specific math and encryption workloads.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench results all go to the Intel Core i3-14100, and the margins are consistent. In Cinebench R15 multicore, Intel scores 1292 against AMD's 1243, a 3.8% difference. Single-core R15 shows the same 3.8% gap: 182 versus 175. Moving to R20, Intel leads multicore 5384 to 5183 and single-core 759 to 731, both at 3.7%. The R23 results mirror that pattern: 12820 to 12342 in multicore and 1809 to 1742 in single-core, again 3.7%. These are close margins, but they are uniform across every rendering test in the set.

PassMark multithread gives Intel another win at 15095 versus 14520, a 3.8% edge. Extended instructions follow with Intel at 11865 and AMD at 11219, a 5.4% gap. Prime number finding shows Intel ahead at 55 versus 48, a 12.7% margin. The largest Intel wins appear in floating point math and single-thread performance. Floating point math sees Intel at 35266 against AMD's 27800, a 21.2% lead. Single-thread shows Intel at 3759 versus 2740, a 27.1% lead, which is the biggest margin in the entire comparison. Physics also favors Intel: 958 to 821, a 14.3% difference.

AMD's three wins are concentrated in specific areas. Data encryption is the standout: AMD scores 10718 against Intel's 8838, a 21.3% lead. Integer math shows AMD at 50800 versus 45329, a 12.1% advantage. Random string sorting is the narrowest AMD win at 17669 versus 17397, just 1.6%. Data compression goes to Intel with 174115 against 168692, a 3.1% margin.

The overall score distribution reinforces the pattern. AMD's average benchmark score of 19364 is higher than Intel's 18318, but that average includes tests beyond the head-to-head set. In the direct comparisons, Intel wins 14 out of 17. The Ryzen 5 7533HS holds its ground in encryption and integer math, while the Core i3-14100 dominates rendering, physics, and single-thread performance. The data suggests that any workload heavily dependent on floating point or single-core speed will favor Intel, while workloads centered on cryptographic operations or integer calculations will favor AMD.
