AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS vs Intel Core i3-14100F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data splits cleanly along workload type. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS wins 9 of the 17 recorded comparisons, while the Intel Core i3-14100F takes 8. The margins, however, tell a more nuanced story than the win count.

The Intel chip dominates modern multi-core rendering and single-thread workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the i3-14100F scores 13084 against the Ryzen's 8613, a 34.2% advantage. That is the largest single gap in either direction. The same test in single-core shows Intel ahead by 21.8% with 1847 versus 1445. Geekbench single-core reinforces this: 2105 versus 1654, a 21.4% gap, while Geekbench multi-core is much closer at 7598 versus 7354, a modest 3.2% Intel lead.

The AMD part answers with a broad sweep of PassMark workloads. Data encryption shows the biggest AMD win at 53.1% (13656 versus 8922). Integer math goes AMD's way by 37.5% (62372 versus 45357). Extended instructions favor AMD by 28.6% (15411 versus 11984), random string sorting by 29.5% (22781 versus 17596), and data compression by 25.9% (221668 versus 176106). PassMark multi-thread goes to AMD by 16.2% (17914 versus 15420).

Older Cinebench versions show a different picture from R23. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, AMD wins 1457 to 1318, a 10.5% edge. R15 single-core is an even larger AMD win at 24.7% (232 versus 186). These older tests use shorter, less optimized workloads, and the Ryzen's extra cores and threads appear to help there.

Two results are nearly dead even. PassMark floating point math is essentially a tie: AMD 35540 versus Intel 35370, a 0.5% margin. PassMark physics goes Intel's way by 21.6% (1077 versus 844), and find prime numbers favors Intel by 19.7% (61 versus 49). PassMark single-thread goes Intel by 17.3% (3778 versus 3123).

The average benchmark scores place these chips at nearly the same tier. AMD's average is 19047 with a 73rd percentile versus all CPUs, while Intel's average is 18519 at the 72nd percentile. The Ryzen's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12400F at an average score of 19039 and the Intel Core 3 201E at 19056, both with a 0% delta. The i3-14100F sits near the Intel Core i5-13420H at 18511 and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE at 18505.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename, built on TSMC's 6 nm process with a die size of 208 mm². It packs 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core i3-14100F uses Raptor Lake, specifically Raptor Lake-R, on Intel's 10 nm process with a 163 mm² die. It has 4 cores and 8 threads.

Cache layouts diverge significantly. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel gives each core 80 KB of L1 and 1.25 MB of L2, with 12 MB of shared L3. The AMD chip's larger shared L3 and smaller per-core L2 reflect a design aimed at broader data sharing across more cores.

Clock speeds favor Intel on paper. The i3-14100F has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The Ryzen 5 7535HS starts at 3.30 GHz and boosts to 4.55 GHz. But the power envelopes could not be more different: AMD's TDP is 35 watts, while Intel's is 58 watts. The Ryzen achieves its results within a much lower power budget, which matters for the mobile segment it targets.

Memory support differs in flexibility. The Ryzen supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel configuration and a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The i3-14100F supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part but not on the AMD part.

Platform connectivity also differs. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7 and provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes. The Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700 and offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are another major split: the Ryzen 5 7535HS includes a Radeon 660M iGPU, while the i3-14100F has no integrated graphics at all. The Intel part is a desktop component, released on 2024-01-07, while the AMD part is a mobile processor released on 2023-01-03.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a split decision based on workload and platform. The Intel Core i3-14100F is the stronger choice for modern multi-core rendering and single-thread responsiveness. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13084 versus 8613 is decisive, and its single-core wins across Geekbench, Cinebench R23, and PassMark single-thread confirm a per-core advantage.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS is the better fit for encryption, compression, integer math, and general multi-threaded throughput outside of the newest rendering tests. It wins PassMark multi-thread by 16.2%, integer math by 37.5%, data encryption by 53.1%, and data compression by 25.9%. It also does all of this at a 35-watt TDP versus Intel's 58 watts, and it includes integrated graphics where the Intel part has none.

Buyers needing a desktop CPU with no iGPU requirement and maximum rendering speed should look at the Intel part. Buyers needing a mobile processor with integrated graphics, lower power draw, and strong encryption or compression throughput should look at the AMD part.
