Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R, manufactured on a 6 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 uses the Arrow Lake architecture with the codename Arrow Lake-S, built on a 3 nm process, also by TSMC. The process node difference gives the Intel chip a manufacturing advantage, though the Intel die is larger at 243 mm² versus 208 mm² for the AMD chip. The Intel processor contains 17,800 million transistors, while the AMD database entry does not list a transistor count.

Core configurations differ substantially. The AMD chip provides 6 cores and 12 threads, relying on simultaneous multithreading to double its thread count. The Intel chip provides 14 cores and 14 threads, with no multithreading enabled. Cache structures also diverge: the AMD chip uses 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip uses 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 3 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations on the Intel side support its higher single-thread performance.

Memory and I/O features differ as well. Both support dual-channel DDR5, but the Intel chip has a higher memory bandwidth rating at 102.4 GB/s. The AMD chip supports PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip supports PCIe Gen 5 with 20 CPU lanes. ECC memory support exists only on the Intel processor. The AMD chip is a mobile processor using Socket FP7, while the Intel chip is a desktop processor using Socket 1851. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $270.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is the superior processor for every measured workload. Its 14-core configuration, higher clock speeds, and newer architecture deliver consistent wins across rendering, encryption, math, and system-level tests. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, despite its efficient 35 W TDP and mobile orientation, cannot match the Intel chip's performance in any category. Users prioritizing multi-threaded applications, such as video rendering or data compression, will find the Intel processor 62.5% ahead in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Users needing single-thread responsiveness will also prefer the Intel chip, which leads by 37.6% in PassMark single-thread tests.

The AMD chip does offer a lower TDP of 35 watts versus 65 watts for the Intel chip, which may be relevant for thermally constrained mobile designs. However, the Intel chip belongs to the desktop segment and is not designed for the same power envelope. The Intel processor also provides ECC memory support and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, features absent from the AMD mobile chip. The database shows 17 wins for the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and zero for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, making the performance ranking unambiguous.
