AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has a substantial body of benchmark results, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This asymmetry fundamentally shapes the analysis. For users seeking validated performance data, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the only option with measurable results. It sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19,364. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (average score 19,368, a 0% delta), the Intel Core i5-1345U (average score 19,411, a -0.2% delta), and the Intel Core i7-10700F (average score 19,499, a -0.7% delta). These figures indicate the Ryzen 5 7533HS performs essentially on par with those established processors, with deltas within 0.7%.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA, however, carries a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs and an average benchmark score of 0, reflecting the absence of any recorded test results. The database contains no head-to-head benchmark data between the two, and neither processor records a win in direct comparisons. Consequently, any quantitative performance verdict for the Intel part is impossible from the available facts. The data indicates the Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA is a newer release (2025-07-28) compared to the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS (2024-08-31), and it targets the desktop market segment, whereas the AMD part is a mobile processor. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the defensible choice based on measured scores; the Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA cannot be evaluated for performance from the database, only for its specifications.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying architectures. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Zen 3+ architecture, with the codename Rembrandt-R. It is built on a 6 nm process node at TSMC, with a die size of 208 mm². The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA belongs to the Core Ultra Series 2 and uses the Arrow Lake architecture, specifically the Arrow Lake-S codename. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process node, also at TSMC, and has a die size of 243 mm² with 17,800 million transistors.

The cache hierarchy reveals significant structural differences. The AMD part features 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, with 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has a much larger L1 cache at 192 KB per core and 3 MB of L2 cache per core, with 24 MB of shared L3 cache. These differences suggest Intel's design dedicates more silicon to intermediate cache levels, potentially affecting latency and bandwidth characteristics.

The socket and market positioning also differ. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses AMD Socket FP7, is classified as a mobile processor, and has the part numbers 100-000001632(FP7) and 100-000001634(FP7r2). The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA uses Intel Socket 1851, is classified as a desktop processor, and has the part number SRWPP. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so both are locked for overclocking. The integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses Radeon 660M, while the Intel part uses Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 24EU. Both support DDR5 memory and have dual-channel memory buses, but their PCIe generations differ, with AMD offering Gen 4 (20 lanes, CPU only) and Intel offering Gen 5 (20 lanes, CPU only).

Specification Differences

The recorded specifications show clear distinctions in core counts, clock speeds, power, and memory bandwidth. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA has 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has more than double the core count but a lower base clock, while its boost clock is 0.60 GHz higher.

Thermal design power (TDP) differs substantially: the AMD part draws 35 watts, while the Intel part draws 65 watts. This reflects their different market segments, mobile versus desktop. Memory bandwidth also favors Intel: the AMD part provides 76.8 GB/s, while the Intel part provides 102.4 GB/s. Both use dual-channel DDR5 memory and do not support ECC memory.

The process nodes differ, with AMD at 6 nm and Intel at 3 nm. The Intel part has a larger die (243 mm² versus 208 mm²) and a listed transistor count of 17,800 million, while the AMD part has no transistor count recorded. The cache sizes differ across all levels: L1 per core (64 KB versus 192 KB), L2 per core (512 KB versus 3 MB), and L3 shared (16 MB versus 24 MB). The Intel part also supports PCIe Gen 5, while the AMD part supports Gen 4. Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded for AMD, while Intel lists $269.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS versus the Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA. The field for head-to-head benchmarks is empty, and neither processor records a win in direct comparisons. This absence of data means no direct score-based comparison can be made between the two.

However, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has its own benchmark suite, which provides a reference point. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 12,342, and its single-core score is 1,742. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5,183 multicore and 731 single-core. The PassMark results show a multithread score of 14,520 and a single-thread score of 2,740. The data also includes specialized workloads: data compression at 168,692, data encryption at 10,718, extended instructions at 11,219, find prime numbers at 48, floating point math at 27,800, integer math at 50,800, physics at 821, and random string sorting at 17,669.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA has no benchmark scores recorded, so its performance in any of these tests is unknown. The database's percentile ranking for the Intel part is 50, compared to 73 for the AMD part, but this ranking is derived from the absence of scores, not from measured results. The AMD part's average benchmark score of 19,364 places it near rivals like the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (19,368) and the Intel Core i5-1345U (19,411), but no such comparison exists for the Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS wins in every measurable category because it is the only processor with benchmark results. Its wins are substantiated by 17 individual scores across Cinebench and PassMark tests, covering multi-core, single-core, and specialized workloads. The data shows the Ryzen 5 7533HS delivers a balanced profile: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,342 and a single-core score of 1,742, with PassMark integer math at 50,800 and floating point math at 27,800. Its 73rd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it outperforms a majority of processors in the database.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA cannot claim any benchmark wins from the recorded data. Its wins would have to be inferred from specifications, which is outside the scope of this analysis. The specifications that favor Intel include a higher core count (14 versus 6), a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.40 GHz), a larger L3 cache (24 MB versus 16 MB), higher memory bandwidth (102.4 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s), a smaller process node (3 nm versus 6 nm), and PCIe Gen 5 support. These specifications suggest potential advantages in multi-threaded workloads and memory-intensive tasks, but the database provides no scores to confirm this.

The AMD part wins in portability and power efficiency based on its 35 watt TDP, compared to 65 watts for Intel, and its mobile market segment. The Intel part's desktop segment and higher TDP indicate it targets a different use case. For users relying on measured performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the only processor with validated results, delivering scores that place it within 0.7% of rivals like the Intel Core i7-10700F. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA remains a specification-only entry in the database, with its true performance profile yet to be recorded.
