Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R. It is manufactured on a 6 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H is part of the Core Ultra Series 3 and uses the Panther Lake architecture, codenamed Panther Lake, on Intel's 3 nm process. These are fundamentally different design generations: Zen 3+ is a mature mobile refinement, while Panther Lake-H represents a newer Intel node and microarchitecture.

Core configuration differs sharply. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading. The Intel chip has 16 cores and 16 threads, meaning it does not rely on SMT to reach its thread count. The Intel part's base clock of 2.00 GHz is lower than the AMD's 3.30 GHz base, but the Intel boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz, above the AMD's 4.40 GHz. Single-thread performance in the benchmark data favors the Intel chip decisively.

Cache hierarchies are also distinct. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations reflect a different design philosophy for feeding its wider execution resources.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 on a dual-channel bus at 76.8 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X on a dual-channel bus at 115.2 GB/s, a substantial bandwidth advantage. PCIe connectivity also diverges: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 12 lanes (CPU only). The Intel chip's PCIe generation is newer, though the lane count is lower.

The physical platform differs. AMD uses Socket FP7, while Intel uses BGA 2540. The AMD die is 208 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded in the database. Both are active mobile parts with no unlocked multiplier. The AMD part's power envelope is listed at 35 W TDP, while the Intel part is listed at 25 W TDP, despite the Intel chip's higher core count and performance. This suggests the Intel design achieves its results from a more efficient process and newer architecture rather than from a higher power allocation.

The integrated graphics also differ: AMD pairs the CPU with Radeon 660M, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics. Neither processor supports ECC memory. The release dates are far apart, with the AMD chip appearing in the database in 2024 and the Intel chip in 2026.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H wins all 17 recorded head-to-head benchmark comparisons. The margin varies by workload, revealing where the architectural gap is largest and smallest.

In Cinebench tests, the Intel chip dominates consistently. Cinebench R15 multi-core scores are 2870 versus 1243, a delta of -56.7%. The single-core R15 result is 405 versus 175, also -56.8%. Cinebench R20 multi-core shows 11960 against 5183, and R20 single-core shows 1688 against 731. Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 28477 versus 12342, and R23 single-core reaches 4020 versus 1742. Every Cinebench delta sits at -56.7% or -56.8%, indicating a uniform performance ratio across these rendering workloads.

PassMark results show a wider spread. The smallest Intel advantage is in single-thread tests: 4043 versus 2740, a delta of -32.2%. Integer math also comes in relatively close, with the Intel chip scoring 83695 against 50800, a delta of -39.3%. These two results suggest that the AMD part is less disadvantaged in scalar integer work and basic single-threaded tasks than in heavily parallel or floating-point workloads.

The largest gap appears in PassMark find prime numbers, where the Intel chip scores 326 against 48, a delta of -85.3%. Floating-point math shows a delta of -73.2%, with the Intel part at 103615 versus 27800. PassMark physics is another large margin: 2880 versus 821, a delta of -71.5%. These results point to major differences in math throughput and physics simulation capability, likely driven by the Intel chip's higher core count and newer execution units.

Data-heavy workloads also favor Intel. Data compression scores are 327455 versus 168692, a delta of -48.5%. Data encryption shows 25845 versus 10718, a delta of -58.5%. Extended instructions score 26901 versus 11219, a delta of -58.3%. Random string sorting is 39814 versus 17669, a delta of -55.6%. PassMark multi-thread shows 33429 versus 14520, a delta of -56.6%.

The overall picture is one of consistent, large Intel superiority. The AMD chip's best relative showing is in single-threaded PassMark work, where it trails by roughly a third, and in integer math, where it trails by roughly two-fifths. In every other measured category, the Intel chip leads by at least 48.5%, and in several categories it leads by more than 70%. The data records zero wins for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS across the 17 benchmark comparisons.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates a clear performance hierarchy. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H outscores the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS in every recorded test, with an average benchmark score of 41263 versus 19364. The Intel chip's percentile ranking of 87 versus 73 confirms that it sits in a higher performance tier among all CPUs in the database.

For workloads dominated by multi-threaded rendering, the Intel part is roughly 2.3 times faster in Cinebench R23 multi-core. For physics simulation and floating-point math, the Intel advantage is even larger, exceeding 70%. Users running those types of loads would see a major performance difference. For single-threaded tasks, the Intel chip still leads by about a third in PassMark single-thread, a smaller but still significant margin.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS does hold advantages in platform characteristics. It uses a 35 W TDP, but the Intel chip is rated at 25 W TDP while delivering far higher performance. The AMD part also has more CPU PCIe lanes at 20 versus 12, though the Intel chip uses the newer Gen 5 standard. The AMD chip's die size is recorded at 208 mm², while the Intel die size is not listed.

For buyers choosing strictly on the recorded performance data, the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H is the stronger processor in every benchmark category. The AMD chip remains a viable 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3+ part, but its performance class is well below the Intel part's. The data does not show any workload where the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS takes the lead.
