Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is built on the Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It uses 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The thermal design power is 35 watts, and it fits the AMD Socket FP7.

The Intel Core i5-14500 uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. It uses 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The thermal design power is 65 watts, and it fits the Intel Socket 1700.

Cache configurations differ significantly. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The die sizes are similar, with AMD at 208 mm² and Intel at 215 mm².

Memory support also varies. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also with dual-channel memory, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory support differs as well: the AMD chip does not support it, while the Intel chip does.

PCIe capabilities show a generational split. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD chip includes Radeon 660M graphics, while the Intel chip includes UHD Graphics 770.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows no benchmark wins for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. Every single head-to-head comparison in the database favors the Intel Core i5-14500. This includes all Cinebench versions, all PassMark tests, and the Geekbench results recorded for the Intel chip.

The closest margins appear in single-threaded tests. The Cinebench R23 single-core gap of 9.1% and the PassMark single-thread gap of 30.7% represent the smallest deltas in the comparison. These results indicate that the AMD chip is relatively stronger in lightly threaded workloads than in heavily parallel tasks, though it still trails in every instance.

The largest gaps favor Intel in multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. The floating point math test shows a 65.1% difference, and the data compression test shows a 54.6% difference. These results align with the Intel chip having more than twice the core count and nearly twice the thread count.

The AMD processor remains competitive in the context of its power envelope. Its 35 watt TDP is substantially lower than the Intel chip's 65 watt TDP, which makes it suitable for thermally constrained mobile systems. The database shows the AMD chip's average benchmark score at 19364, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. The Intel chip's average benchmark score is 38531, placing it in the 86th percentile.
