AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents an unambiguous picture: the Intel Core i5-14490F wins every single recorded comparison. Across all 17 head-to-head tests, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS records zero wins. The margin is substantial in every category, though the size of the gap varies considerably by workload type.

In Cinebench testing, the Intel part dominates both multi-core and single-core workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result shows the i5-14490F scoring 23000 against 12342 for the Ryzen 5 7533HS, a delta of -46.3%. Single-core in R23 follows a similar pattern: 3247 versus 1742, a -46.4% difference. The R20 and R15 iterations of the benchmark confirm the trend, with deltas of -46.3% and -46.4% respectively for multi-core, and -46.4% and -46.5% for single-core. The consistency of these margins across different Cinebench versions indicates a fundamental performance gap rather than a workload-specific anomaly.

PassMark results reinforce the same conclusion with varying intensity. The largest single deficit for the AMD chip appears in PassMark physics and find prime numbers, both at -60.8% and -60.7% respectively. Floating point math also shows a wide gap at -58.2%, with scores of 27800 versus 66558. Data compression and random string sorting both come in at -50.4%. The narrowest margin is in single-thread performance, where the Ryzen 5 7533HS trails by -29.3% (2740 versus 3873).

The data shows that the Intel Core i5-14490F delivers roughly double the multi-threaded throughput of the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS in several tests. PassMark multi-thread scores of 28662 versus 14520 represent a -49.3% delta. Data compression at 340026 versus 168692 is nearly identical in proportional terms. Extended instructions, integer math, and data encryption all fall in a similar range, with deltas of -48.4%, -42.2%, and -41.2% respectively.

Average benchmark scores place the two processors far apart in the database. The Ryzen 5 7533HS averages 19364 across all recorded tests, while the i5-14490F averages 38149. The Intel chip sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database, compared to the 73rd percentile for the AMD part.

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head data records no wins for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, so the use-case split must be framed by the magnitude of the Intel advantage rather than any outright victories.

The Intel Core i5-14490F shows its strongest advantage in physics simulation and prime number calculation, where the delta reaches roughly -61%. These workloads typically scale with raw core count and clock speed, and the i5-14490F brings 10 cores and 16 threads to the comparison. Floating point math also heavily favors Intel at -58.2%, indicating strong vector throughput. Data compression and string sorting tasks, which often benefit from large caches, show a -50.4% delta, consistent with the Intel part's 24 MB of shared L3 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS comes closest to closing the gap in single-threaded PassMark tests, where the deficit narrows to -29.3%. This suggests that the Zen 3+ core design in the Ryzen part is relatively competitive on a per-thread basis, even though it still loses ground. Data encryption shows a -41.2% delta, the second-smallest margin for the AMD chip. Integer math at -42.2% also falls on the milder end of the range.

Single-core Cinebench results show a -46.4% to -46.5% deficit, which contradicts the PassMark single-thread finding to some degree. The discrepancy may reflect different instruction mixes between the two benchmark suites. Regardless, the pattern is consistent: the Intel part leads in every measurable category, with the AMD chip's best showing limited to narrow single-thread and encryption workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different market segments and use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile processor in the 7000 series, built on the Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename. It uses a 6 nm process node from TSMC and measures 208 mm². The Intel Core i5-14490F is a desktop part from the Core 14th Gen, based on Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename. Intel fabricates this chip on a 10 nm process, and the die size is 215 mm².

Core counts differ significantly. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the i5-14490F has 10 cores and 16 threads. This 4-core, 4-thread advantage contributes directly to the multi-threaded benchmark results. Base clocks are 3.30 GHz for the AMD part and 2.50 GHz for the Intel part, but the boost clocks reverse the order: 4.40 GHz versus 5.00 GHz. The Intel chip's higher boost ceiling helps explain its substantial lead in both single-core and multi-core tests.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The i5-14490F has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel part holds an advantage at every cache level, which matters for workloads with large working sets.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, though the database does not list a bandwidth figure for it. Neither processor supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs in generation and lane count. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the i5-14490F uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part's newer PCIe generation offers higher per-lane bandwidth, though the AMD part provides more total lanes.

Integrated graphics also separate the two. The Ryzen 5 7533HS includes a Radeon 660M iGPU, making it suitable for systems without a discrete graphics card. The i5-14490F has no integrated graphics (listed as N/A), so it requires a separate GPU. This is consistent with their market positions: mobile versus desktop.

The power envelopes differ substantially. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has a 35 W TDP, while the i5-14490F is rated at 65 W. The AMD part's lower power target reflects its mobile orientation and explains why it cannot match the Intel chip's sustained performance in multi-core workloads.

Release dates are approximately eight months apart. The i5-14490F launched on 2023-12-31, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS followed on 2024-08-31. Both parts remain in active production. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part carries part numbers 100-000001632 (FP7) and 100-000001634 (FP7r2), while the Intel part is designated SRN35.
