AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core i5-14400F Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and Intel Core i5-14400F occupy different corners of the processor market, one a mobile part and the other a desktop part. The recorded benchmark data shows a clear and consistent performance gap between them, with the Intel chip winning every single head-to-head test in the database. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a 6-core, 12-thread mobile processor built on TSMC's 6 nm process, while the Core i5-14400F is a 10-core, 16-thread desktop chip on Intel's 10 nm node. The following analysis breaks down the data across architecture, specific workloads, and measurable performance deltas.

Where Each One Wins

The data is unambiguous: the Intel Core i5-14400F wins all 17 recorded head-to-head benchmarks against the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. The AMD processor records zero wins in the comparison set. This is not a narrow victory; the deltas range from a 26% deficit for AMD in single-threaded tests to a 54.7% deficit in floating-point math. The Core i5-14400F dominates every category, including multi-core rendering, single-core rendering, data compression, encryption, physics simulation, and integer math.

The Ryzen 5 7533HS does not win any workload category, but its profile is not without distinction. As a 35 W TDP mobile processor, it is built for efficiency in laptops, whereas the Core i5-14400F carries a 65 W TDP and targets desktop systems. The data shows the AMD part is competitive within its own class: its average benchmark score of 19364 places it near the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, which scores 19368, and just ahead of the Intel Core i7-8700K at 19238. The Ryzen 5 7533HS also sits at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Core i5-14400F, by contrast, reaches the 83rd percentile with an average score of 32279, placing it just ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (32233) and the Intel Core i9-11900 (32226).

In terms of use cases, the Core i5-14400F is the clear choice for desktop workloads that demand raw throughput. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile part with integrated Radeon 660M graphics, which gives it a feature the Intel desktop chip lacks entirely. The Intel processor has no integrated graphics, so it requires a discrete GPU. The AMD chip, with its 35 W TDP, is designed for battery-conscious laptops, while the Intel chip, with its 65 W TDP, is suited for desktop builds where power draw is less constrained.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture, codenamed Rembrandt-R, and belongs to the 7000 series. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 6 nm process with a die size of 208 mm². The Intel Core i5-14400F uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen family. It is fabricated by Intel on a 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm².

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 10 cores and 16 threads. This gives the Intel chip a 4-core and 4-thread advantage. The cache hierarchy also diverges. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14400F has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has more cache at every level.

Clock speeds tell a similar story. The AMD part has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Intel part has a lower base clock of 2.50 GHz but a higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The Intel chip's higher boost clock, combined with more cores and more cache, explains its consistent lead in the benchmark data.

Memory support differs as well. The Ryzen 5 7533HS supports DDR5 memory exclusively, with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Core i5-14400F supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also on a dual-channel bus, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it. The AMD chip does not support ECC memory, while the Intel chip does. The PCIe interface also differs: the AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

The AMD processor includes integrated Radeon 660M graphics, a feature absent from the Intel Core i5-14400F. The AMD chip is a mobile part on AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel chip is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part was released on 2024-08-31, while the Intel part was released earlier on 2024-01-07. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $196. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark results show a consistent pattern of Intel dominance across every recorded test. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Intel Core i5-14400F scores 2181 against the AMD's 1243, a 43% delta in Intel's favor. The single-core R15 test shows the same 43% delta, with Intel at 307 and AMD at 175. Cinebench R20 multi-core repeats the pattern: Intel scores 9090, AMD scores 5183, again a 43% delta. The R20 single-core test shows Intel at 1283 and AMD at 731, also 43%. Cinebench R23 multi-core gives Intel 21645 and AMD 12342, with the same 43% delta. R23 single-core gives Intel 3055 and AMD 1742, 43%. All six Cinebench tests show an identical 43% gap, which suggests a consistent per-core and per-thread advantage for the Intel architecture.

The PassMark suite shows a wider spread of deltas. In data compression, Intel scores 315521 against AMD's 168692, a 46.5% delta. Data encryption shows Intel at 16949 and AMD at 10718, a 36.8% delta. Extended instructions give Intel 19937 and AMD 11219, a 43.7% delta. Prime number finding gives Intel 86 and AMD 48, a 44.2% delta. The largest gap appears in floating-point math: Intel scores 61319, AMD scores 27800, a 54.7% delta. Integer math shows Intel at 81524 and AMD at 50800, a 37.7% delta. PassMark multi-thread gives Intel 25470 and AMD 14520, a 43% delta. Physics gives Intel 1523 and AMD 821, a 46.1% delta. Random string sorting gives Intel 32680 and AMD 17669, a 45.9% delta. The smallest gap is in single-thread performance: Intel scores 3701 and AMD scores 2740, a 26% delta.

The 26% single-thread delta is notable because it is the narrowest margin in the entire comparison. It indicates that the AMD Zen 3+ core, despite having a lower boost clock of 4.40 GHz versus Intel's 4.70 GHz, is comparatively closer in single-core efficiency than in multi-core throughput. The multi-core tests, which show 43% or larger deltas, reflect the Intel chip's advantage of 4 additional cores and 4 additional threads. The floating-point math test, with its 54.7% delta, highlights the Intel chip's superior FPU throughput.
