Architecture Differences

The Intel Core i7-1370P uses the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process from Intel, with a die size of 217 mm². It packs 14 cores and 20 threads, featuring an 80 KB L1 cache per core, a 2 MB L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Its integrated graphics are Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory and uses the Intel BGA 1744 socket.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7545U, by contrast, uses the Zen 4 architecture on a 4 nm process from TSMC, with a die size of 137 mm² and 20,900 million transistors. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a 64 KB L1 cache per core, a 1 MB L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. Its integrated graphics are the Radeon 740M, and it supports only DDR5 memory. The chip uses the AMD Socket FP7 and has a part number of 100-000000930(FP7r2) or 100-000000929(FP7).

The process node difference is stark: 10 nm Intel versus 4 nm TSMC. This explains why the AMD part achieves higher clock speeds — its base clock is 3.20 GHz versus 1.90 GHz for Intel — despite having fewer cores. The Intel chip has a higher boost clock at 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz, but the AMD part’s smaller process node likely contributes to its efficiency and per-core performance advantages seen in single-threaded tests.

Specification Differences

The two chips differ on nearly every core specification. The Intel Core i7-1370P has 14 cores and 20 threads, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7545U has 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are 1.90 GHz for Intel versus 3.20 GHz for AMD; boost clocks are 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. Both have a 28W TDP.

Cache hierarchies diverge significantly. Intel uses 80 KB L1 per core and 2 MB L2 per core, totaling 24 MB of L3. AMD uses 64 KB L1 per core and 1 MB L2 per core, totaling 16 MB of L3. The Intel part has a larger die at 217 mm² versus AMD’s 137 mm², and the AMD part lists 20,900 million transistors while Intel lists none.

Memory support differs: Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while AMD supports only DDR5. AMD lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; Intel does not list one. AMD supports ECC memory; Intel does not. PCIe lanes also differ: Intel has Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while AMD has Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only).

The launch dates are roughly ten months apart — Intel released on 2023-01-03, AMD on 2023-11-01. Intel has a launch MSRP of $438; AMD has none listed. Both are active production mobile parts with locked multipliers. The Intel part number is SRMJ6; AMD’s is 100-000000930(FP7r2) and 100-000000929(FP7).

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7545U sweeps all six Cinebench tests. In R15 multicore, AMD scores 1739 versus Intel’s 1649, a 5.2% lead. R15 singlecore goes to AMD at 245 versus 232, a 5.3% margin. R20 multicore shows AMD at 7246 versus 6873 (5.1%), and R20 singlecore shows AMD at 1022 versus 970 (5.1%). R23 multicore continues the pattern: AMD 17253 versus 16365 (5.1%), and R23 singlecore is AMD 2435 versus 2310 (5.1%). Across the board, AMD holds a consistent 5% advantage in rendering workloads.

PassMark data tests also favor AMD. Data compression goes to AMD at 238345 versus 217676, an 8.7% lead. Data encryption is AMD 14202 versus 13067, an 8% edge. Extended instructions show the largest gap: AMD 17865 versus 12822, a huge 28.2% advantage. Random string sorting is AMD 30358 versus 23580, a 22.3% win.

The Intel Core i7-1370P answers with massive wins in computation-heavy tests. Floating-point math is Intel 54105 versus AMD 36754, a 47.2% blowout. Integer math is Intel 78675 versus AMD 60206, a 30.7% margin. Physics is Intel 1466 versus AMD 1057, a 38.7% lead. Prime number finding is Intel 97 versus AMD 68, a 42.6% edge.

The multithread test is a statistical tie: Intel scores 20303, AMD scores 20298, with a delta of 0%. Single-thread performance goes to AMD at 3673 versus 3557, a 3.2% margin. The overall win count is 12 for AMD and 5 for Intel, but the magnitude of Intel’s wins in math and physics outpaces AMD’s margins in rendering and data tasks. The data shows a clear trade-off: choose AMD for balanced, broadly faster performance, or Intel if your workload is dominated by heavy arithmetic.
