AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data for this comparison is unambiguous. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 wins all 17 recorded head-to-head tests against the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. The margin is consistently large across every category, from single-threaded workloads to heavily parallel tasks.

The closest relative result appears in the PassMark single-thread tests, where the Intel part scores 4881 against the AMD's 2740, a delta of -43.9%. This is still a substantial lead, but it is the narrowest gap in the entire comparison. The most lopsided result is in the PassMark find prime numbers test, where the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 scores 459 against the AMD's 48, a delta of -89.5%. This indicates a massive difference in integer-heavy, latency-sensitive operations.

In the Cinebench suite, the pattern is remarkably consistent. The multicore tests show the Intel part at 4933 in R15, 20556 in R20, and 48945 in R23, against the AMD's 1243, 5183, and 12342 respectively. The delta is -74.8% in all three multicore tests. The single-core Cinebench results tell the same story, with the Intel part scoring 696 in R15, 2901 in R20, and 6909 in R23, while the AMD scores 175, 731, and 1742. The single-core deltas are also -74.8%, with the R15 single-core test showing -74.9%.

The PassMark suite reinforces the trend. Data compression shows the Intel part at 602121 versus 168692, a delta of -72%. Data encryption shows 46949 versus 10718, a delta of -77.2%. Extended instructions show 45357 versus 11219, a delta of -75.3%. Floating point math shows 194988 versus 27800, a delta of -85.7%. Integer math shows 164869 versus 50800, a delta of -69.2%. Multithread shows 56602 versus 14520, a delta of -74.3%. Physics shows 3598 versus 821, a delta of -77.2%. Random string sorting shows 73651 versus 17669, a delta of -76%.

The overall average benchmark score puts the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 at 75488, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS sits at 19364. The Intel part also records a 95th percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database, while the AMD part sits at the 73rd percentile.

Where Each One Wins

The data shows no benchmark category where the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS takes a win. Every recorded test, whether it is a Cinebench rendering workload or a PassMark math or encryption test, favors the Intel Core Ultra 9 285. The Intel part delivers a higher score in every single one of the 17 head-to-head comparisons.

The AMD part's closest performance is in the single-thread PassMark tests, where it trails by 43.9%. This is still a decisive lead for the Intel part, but it shows that the AMD's single-thread performance is relatively stronger than its multi-thread performance when compared to the Intel part. The AMD's single-thread score of 2740 versus its multi-thread score of 14520 gives a ratio of roughly 1 to 5.3, while the Intel part's single-thread score of 4881 versus its multi-thread score of 56602 gives a ratio of roughly 1 to 11.6. The Intel part scales far better into multi-threaded workloads.

For workloads that depend on integer math, the gap is slightly narrower. The integer math test shows a delta of -69.2%, the smallest margin outside of the single-thread tests. For floating point math, the gap widens to -85.7%. Encryption and physics both show -77.2%, while data compression shows -72%. The pattern is clear: the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 dominates across the board, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS does not hold an advantage in any measured category.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to a clear separation between these two processors. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 wins every recorded benchmark, with deltas ranging from -43.9% in the PassMark single-thread test to -89.5% in the PassMark find prime numbers test. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 75488 is roughly 3.9 times higher than the AMD part's 19364.

The Intel part also holds a higher percentile ranking, sitting at 95 versus the AMD part's 73. Its nearest rivals in the database are AMD EPYC server processors, with the EPYC 8224P at an average score of 75582 and a delta of -0.1%. This places the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 in a performance class that includes enterprise server parts.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, by contrast, sits near mobile processors and older desktop parts. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V at 19368, the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19411, and the Intel Core i7-8700K at 19238. This positioning reflects its mobile market segment and lower TDP.

For a desktop workload that demands maximum multi-threaded throughput, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is the only choice based on the recorded data. Its 24 cores, 36 MB of L3 cache, and higher memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s support its benchmark dominance. For a mobile system where power draw is a factor, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS with its 35 watt TDP is the lower-power option, but the performance cost is severe. The data shows a 74.8% deficit in Cinebench multicore tests and a 74.3% deficit in the PassMark multithread test.

The single-thread gap of 43.9% is the smallest difference recorded, but it still represents a decisive Intel advantage. Users who prioritize single-thread performance will still find the Intel part far ahead. The AMD part does not offer any measured performance advantage, only a lower TDP and a mobile form factor. The verdict from the database is straightforward: the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 outperforms the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS in every recorded benchmark, and the only reason to select the AMD part is for a mobile platform with a lower power envelope.
