AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core i9-14900KS Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a decisive performance gap between the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and the Intel Core i9-14900KS. The Intel part wins all 17 recorded head-to-head comparisons, with the AMD processor trailing by margins that range from roughly 43% to over 80% depending on the workload.

The largest deficits appear in compute-heavy tests. In PassMark floating point math, the Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 27,800 against the i9-14900KS's 153,975, a delta of -81.9%. Integer math shows a similar story: 50,800 versus 212,644, a -76.1% gap. Prime number finding is even more lopsided, with the AMD part scoring 48 against 244, a -80.3% difference, matching the same -80.3% delta in random string sorting (17,669 versus 89,789).

Cinebench results are consistent across every version. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 12,342 while the i9-14900KS scores 50,995, a -75.8% delta. Single-core R23 shows the same -75.8% gap: 1,742 versus 7,199. The R20 and R15 runs repeat the pattern, with the Intel processor holding a -75.8% or -75.9% advantage in every Cinebench test. The multithread PassMark score follows suit: 14,520 versus 60,012, again -75.8%.

The narrowest gap in the entire dataset is PassMark single-thread performance. The Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 2,740 versus 4,815 for the i9-14900KS, a -43.1% delta. That remains a substantial margin, but it is roughly half the percentage deficit seen in most multi-threaded workloads. Data compression and encryption also show large gaps: compression scores 168,692 versus 803,368 (-79%), and encryption scores 10,718 versus 47,717 (-77.5%). Extended instructions land at 11,219 versus 45,524, a -75.4% delta, and physics at 821 versus 3,381, a -75.7% gap.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design points. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is a 6-core, 12-thread mobile chip built on TSMC's 6 nm process with a Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename. The Intel Core i9-14900KS is a 24-core, 32-thread desktop processor using Intel's 10 nm process with Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename. The Intel chip belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, while the AMD part is from the 7000 series.

Cache configurations differ sharply. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The i9-14900KS uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. That gives the Intel part more than double the L3 capacity and four times the per-core L2.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only with dual-channel access and a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel access; the database does not list a bandwidth figure for it. ECC memory is not supported on the AMD side but is supported on the Intel part.

PCIe capabilities differ by generation and lane count. The Ryzen 5 7533HS provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The i9-14900KS provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are present on both: Radeon 660M on the AMD chip and UHD Graphics 770 on the Intel chip.

The die sizes reflect the different target markets. The AMD processor measures 208 mm², while the Intel processor measures 257 mm². The Intel chip is also unlocked for multiplier adjustment, whereas the AMD chip is locked. Production status for both is listed as Active.

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head data records zero benchmark wins for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. Every measured test favors the Intel Core i9-14900KS. That does not mean the AMD part lacks a role, but the recorded scores do not give it a single category where it leads.

The i9-14900KS dominates in multi-threaded rendering, as shown by Cinebench R23 multi-core at 50,995 versus 12,342. It also leads in single-thread responsiveness, with a 4,815 PassMark single-thread score against 2,740. Data-heavy tasks follow the same pattern: compression, encryption, and extended instructions all favor Intel by at least 75%. Floating point and integer math are the Intel chip's strongest areas, with deltas of -81.9% and -76.1% respectively.

For the Ryzen 5 7533HS, the closest recorded result is PassMark single-thread, where the deficit shrinks to -43.1%. That is still a decisive loss, but it indicates the AMD chip's per-core efficiency is less far behind than its raw multi-thread output. The AMD part's 35 W TDP, versus 150 W for the Intel chip, points to a different usage context: the Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile processor for AMD Socket FP7, while the i9-14900KS is a desktop part for Intel Socket 1700. The data does not include any power-efficiency benchmark, so no direct performance-per-watt comparison can be made from these records.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a single conclusion: the Intel Core i9-14900KS is substantially faster than the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS in every benchmark test in the database. The Intel chip holds a -75.8% advantage in Cinebench R23 multi-core, a -75.8% edge in R23 single-core, and a -43.1% lead in PassMark single-thread, its smallest margin. It wins all 17 head-to-head comparisons with zero wins for the AMD part.

The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a low-power mobile processor with a 35 W TDP, 6 cores, and a 4.40 GHz boost clock. The i9-14900KS is a desktop flagship with a 150 W TDP, 24 cores, a 6.20 GHz boost clock, and an unlocked multiplier. The Intel chip also offers more cache at every level, ECC support, DDR4 and DDR5 compatibility, and PCIe Gen 5. The AMD chip counters with a smaller die, a lower TDP, and a higher base clock of 3.30 GHz versus 3.20 GHz.

For anyone choosing based on the benchmark data alone, the i9-14900KS is the clear pick for raw performance, including single-thread speed where its lead is smallest. The Ryzen 5 7533HS occupies a different segment entirely: a mobile processor for AMD Socket FP7 systems, with no recorded launch MSRP and no performance category where it beats the Intel part. The database shows no scenario in which the AMD chip wins a recorded test, so the verdict is straightforward: the Intel Core i9-14900KS is the faster processor in every measured workload.
