AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL Comparison

AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL represent two distinct approaches to mobile and compact desktop computing. The AMD part is a 6-core/12-thread Zen 3+ chip built for thin-and-light laptops, while the Intel part is a 12-core/14-thread Meteor Lake-PS processor aimed at embedded and compact desktop systems. The benchmark database contains a full set of measurements for the AMD processor, but the Intel processor has no recorded benchmark scores, which shapes how the comparison must be framed. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS holds a 73rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL sits at the 50th percentile, and the difference in available data is the first major split between them.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, meaning no direct comparison tests were recorded for these two processors in the database. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has 17 individual benchmark scores covering Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark suites, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL has zero recorded scores. This absence of data makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible.

What the database does show is the AMD processor's absolute performance. In Cinebench R23, the Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 12,342 in multi-core and 1,742 in single-core. In R20, it scores 5,183 multi-core and 731 single-core. In R15, the scores are 1,243 multi-core and 175 single-core. These figures place the chip in the upper-middle tier of the database's CPU rankings.

The nearest rivals for the AMD processor, based on average benchmark score, are all Intel parts. The Intel Core Ultra 5 226V has an average score of 19,368, a 0% difference. The Intel Core i5-1345U averages 19,411, which is 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i7-8700K averages 19,238, which is 0.7% higher. The Intel Core i7-10700F averages 19,499, which is 0.7% lower. These deltas are all within one percentage point, meaning the Ryzen 5 7533HS performs essentially on par with a spread of Intel desktop and mobile chips from several generations. The AMD processor's average benchmark score is 19,364, placing it squarely in that cluster.

For the Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL, the average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and there are no nearest rivals listed. With no measurements, the database records no wins for either side in head-to-head tests: the winsA and winsB counters are both zero. The practical takeaway is straightforward: the Ryzen 5 7533HS has verified performance data, while the Intel part lacks any recorded scores to compare against.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture, codenamed Rembrandt-R, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It has 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. The cache layout consists of 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The die size is 208 mm². It uses AMD Socket FP7 and supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics are Radeon 660M.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL uses the Meteor Lake architecture, specifically the Meteor Lake-PS variant, built on a 7 nm process at Intel. It has 12 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 1.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The thermal design power is 15 watts. The cache layout consists of 112 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. No die size is recorded. It uses Intel Socket 1851 and supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, with the memory support note indicating it depends on the motherboard. Memory bandwidth is listed at 89.6 GB/s, which is higher than the AMD part's 76.8 GB/s. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU, which is fewer than the AMD part's 20 lanes. The integrated graphics are Arc Xe-LPG 64EU.

Both processors use DDR5 and dual-channel memory, but the Intel part has a higher memory bandwidth figure. Both have the same 4.40 GHz boost clock, but the AMD base clock is more than twice the Intel base clock. The core counts differ sharply: 6 versus 12, with the Intel part also having 14 threads versus 12. The process nodes differ by one nanometer, with AMD on 6 nm and Intel on 7 nm. The AMD chip is a mobile part with a 35-watt TDP, while the Intel chip is listed as a desktop segment part with a 15-watt TDP. Neither supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $331, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP listed. The AMD part was released on August 31, 2024, while the Intel part was released earlier, on April 7, 2024. The AMD part has one part number for FP7 and one for FP7r2, while the Intel part has a single part number, SRN97.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 5 7533HS wins in terms of verified benchmark data. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,342 and single-core score of 1,742 are concrete numbers that can be compared against other CPUs in the database. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 14,520 and single-thread score of 2,740 further confirm its standing. It also wins on PCIe lane count, offering 20 Gen 4 lanes versus the Intel part's 8 Gen 4 lanes. For systems that need more PCIe connectivity for storage or expansion, the AMD part provides more headroom.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL wins on core and thread count, with 12 cores and 14 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads. It also has a higher memory bandwidth rating at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s. Its TDP is much lower at 15 watts versus 35 watts, which suggests a lower power draw for the same boost clock. The Intel part has a higher per-core L1 cache at 112 KB versus 64 KB, and a much larger per-core L2 cache at 2 MB versus 512 KB. Its L3 cache is smaller at 12 MB versus 16 MB, but the total cache per core is larger on the Intel side. The Intel part is also listed as a desktop segment part, which means it may fit different system designs than the mobile-focused AMD chip.

The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $331, which is a data point the AMD part lacks entirely. This means the database contains pricing information for one processor and not the other, so no comparison of launch prices can be made.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. For anyone needing verified performance numbers, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the only option with recorded measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,342 and single-core score of 1,742, along with its PassMark results, give it a 73rd percentile ranking among all CPUs. It also provides 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, which is more than double the Intel part's 8 lanes.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL offers a different set of hardware characteristics. It has 12 cores and 14 threads, a 15-watt TDP, a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and a larger per-core L2 cache of 2 MB. It also has a recorded launch MSRP of $331, which is a data point not available for the AMD chip. However, the complete absence of benchmark scores means its actual performance cannot be assessed from the database.

The choice depends on whether the priority is measured performance or architectural specifications. The AMD processor has the benchmark data to back its 73rd percentile standing. The Intel processor has a larger core count and lower TDP on paper, but no scores to confirm how those translate into real-world results. The database records a 50th percentile for the Intel part, but that figure carries no supporting test data. Based strictly on what is recorded, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the processor with proven results, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 135UL remains an unverified entry.
