AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core i7-14700 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a decisive sweep: the Intel Core i7-14700 wins all 17 recorded head-to-head comparisons against the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. The largest margin comes in PassMark floating point math, where Intel scores 106,716 against AMD's 27,800, a 73.9% advantage. That pattern of dominance repeats across nearly every category, with the smallest gap still being a substantial 16.2% in Cinebench R23 single-core.

Multi-threaded workloads show the widest separation. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Intel chip scores 4,061 versus 1,243 for AMD, a 69.4% lead. Cinebench R20 multi-core repeats the theme: Intel at 14,388 against AMD's 5,183, a 64% difference. The R23 multi-core test narrows the gap slightly to 56.5%, with Intel scoring 28,398 and AMD at 12,342. PassMark multi-thread follows the same trajectory, Intel at 40,318 versus 14,520, a 64% margin.

Single-core results are closer but still favor Intel clearly. Cinebench R15 single-core gives Intel 299 against AMD's 175, a 41.5% advantage. R20 single-core shows Intel at 2,031 versus 731, a 64% lead. R23 single-core compresses the gap to 16.2%, Intel at 2,080 and AMD at 1,742. PassMark single-thread shows Intel at 4,236 versus 2,740, a 35.3% margin.

Specialized PassMark tests reinforce the same verdict. Data compression favors Intel 498,198 to 168,692, a 66.1% difference. Data encryption shows Intel at 29,601 versus 10,718, a 63.8% gap. Extended instructions give Intel 28,388 against 11,219, a 60.5% lead. Prime number finding shows Intel at 164 versus 48, the second-largest margin at 70.7%. Integer math favors Intel 154,535 to 50,800, a 67.1% difference. Physics tests give Intel 2,226 versus 821, a 63.1% edge. Random string sorting lands at Intel 54,340 versus 17,669, a 67.5% gap.

The average benchmark score reflects the overall separation: Intel at 52,301 versus AMD at 19,364. Intel also holds the 91st percentile among all CPUs in the database, while AMD sits at the 73rd percentile.

The Verdict

The data points to one unambiguous conclusion: the Intel Core i7-14700 outperforms the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS in every measured test. No benchmark in the database gives AMD a win, and the smallest Intel margin is still 16.2% in Cinebench R23 single-core. For any workload captured in these tests, Intel delivers higher scores.

The Intel part belongs to the desktop segment, while AMD is a mobile processor, and that market positioning explains much of the performance spread. The Ryzen 5 7533HS targets efficiency and mobility with a 35 W TDP, whereas the Core i7-14700 operates at a 65 W TDP. The benchmark results confirm that the desktop chip trades power for performance, and the trade is steep: roughly 2.7 times the average benchmark score.

Users constrained to a mobile platform have no choice but the AMD part, but the recorded data shows it trails badly in raw compute. Users building or buying a desktop system should select the Intel Core i7-14700 based on these measurements, as it wins every single comparison in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design schools. AMD uses Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename, fabricated 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 differ accordingly: AMD measures 208 mm², Intel measures 257 mm².

Core counts diverge sharply. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while Intel provides 20 cores and 28 threads. That 14-core and 16-thread difference drives most of the multi-core performance gap. Cache hierarchies also differ. 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, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 cache on Intel, more than double AMD's, contributes to its advantage in cache-sensitive workloads.

Memory support diverges as well. AMD supports DDR5 only, in dual-channel configuration, with a measured memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, though the database records no bandwidth figure for it. AMD does not support ECC memory; Intel does. PCIe connectivity differs: AMD offers Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ by vendor design. AMD pairs the Radeon 660M with its processor, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions, but the database records no comparative graphics benchmarks.

Specification Differences

The specification table shows several distinct differences between the two parts. Clock speeds favor Intel: AMD runs a 3.30 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost, while Intel runs a 2.10 GHz base and 5.40 GHz boost. The higher boost clock on Intel explains its single-core advantages, while the lower base clock reflects a different power strategy.

TDP differs by 30 W: AMD at 35 W, Intel at 65 W. Sockets are incompatible, with AMD on AMD Socket FP7 and Intel on Intel Socket 1700. Market segments differ, AMD in mobile and Intel in desktop. Release dates also differ, with AMD launching on 2024-08-31 and Intel on 2024-01-07. Intel carries a launch MSRP of $384; AMD has no recorded launch MSRP. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. Part numbers are listed as 100-000001632(FP7) and 100-000001634(FP7r2) for AMD, and SRN40 for Intel.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700 wins every benchmark category in the database, so a use-case split based on wins is one-sided. Multi-threaded rendering and encoding workloads see the largest Intel advantage, with Cinebench multi-core tests showing 56.5% to 69.4% leads. PassMark integer math, floating point math, and data compression all favor Intel by roughly 66% to 74%.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS shows no winning categories, but its smallest losses indicate where it is least disadvantaged. Cinebench R23 single-core is its best result, trailing by 16.2%. PassMark single-thread follows at 35.3%. These are the only two tests where Intel's margin falls below 40%, suggesting that lightly threaded tasks narrow the gap most.

For mobile users who must operate within a 35 W TDP, the AMD part is the only option in this comparison. For desktop users with a 65 W TDP budget, the Intel part delivers superior scores across all recorded tests. The database shows no workload where the AMD processor produces a higher result, so any selection between these two should default to Intel unless the mobile form factor dictates otherwise.
