AMD Ryzen 5 7600 vs Intel Core i7-1370P Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits these two processors into clearly different personalities. The Intel Core i7-1370P claims only 3 wins out of 15 head-to-head tests, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 takes 12. That sounds one-sided, but the wins are not evenly distributed across workload types. The Intel part wins in Cinebench R23 multicore and singlecore, plus PassMark floating point math. The AMD part dominates everything else, including the older Cinebench R15 tests, all PassMark integer and encryption workloads, and the multithreaded PassMark suite.

The use-case split is stark. If the workload is a modern Cinebench R23 render, the Intel i7-1370P is the stronger choice. It scores 16,365 in R23 multicore versus 12,735 for the AMD Ryzen 5 7600, a 28.5% advantage. In R23 singlecore, the Intel part leads by 24.7% with 2,310 versus 1,852. That is a decisive margin in a CPU-generation-sensitive benchmark. However, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 wins the older Cinebench R15 multicore test by 29.5% (2,339 versus 1,649) and R15 singlecore by 22.1% (298 versus 232). The two processors disagree on which rendering test matters, which suggests the Intel part scales better with the newer R23 workload while the AMD part has a raw throughput edge in R15.

For everyday computing and data tasks, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is the clear winner. It beats the Intel part in PassMark data compression by 28.6% (304,942 versus 217,676), data encryption by 26.2% (17,704 versus 13,067), and extended instructions by a massive 44.4% (23,071 versus 12,822). The AMD part also wins PassMark multithread by 25% (27,058 versus 20,303) and random string sorting by 34.3% (35,904 versus 23,580). The only PassMark test where Intel wins is floating point math, at 54,105 versus 48,107, a 12.5% edge. Notably, the Intel part loses integer math by a slim 2.4% (78,675 versus 80,581) and single-thread by 9% (3,557 versus 3,910), so the AMD part is not just winning on core count; it is faster on most single-threaded tasks too.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Core i7-1370P is a mobile processor built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. It packs 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The die size is 217 mm². The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a desktop chip using Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz and boost reaches 5.10 GHz. The AMD die is much smaller at 71 mm², and it uses 6,570 million transistors.

Cache layouts differ notably. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, but a larger 32 MB of shared L3 cache. That larger L3 pool on the AMD chip likely helps with data-heavy workloads, which aligns with its PassMark data compression and encryption wins. The Intel chip compensates with higher per-core L1 and L2, but the smaller shared L3 may limit some server-like tasks.

Memory support diverges sharply. The Intel i7-1370P supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 supports only DDR5. The AMD part has a rated memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded bandwidth figure. The AMD chip also supports ECC memory, while the Intel chip does not. For PCIe, the Intel part offers Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the AMD part offers Gen 5 with 24 CPU lanes. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, making it overclockable, while the Intel part is locked. The integrated graphics also differ: Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, while AMD uses a basic Radeon Graphics solution. The Intel part is a mobile BGA 1744 socket chip, while the AMD part is a desktop AM5 socket chip.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single-win margin belongs to the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 in PassMark extended instructions, where it scores 23,071 versus 12,822, a 44.4% advantage. That is not a small gap; it suggests the Zen 4 architecture has a significant edge in SIMD or specialized instruction handling. The second-largest AMD win is in PassMark find prime numbers, at 200 versus 97, a 51.5% delta. That is the largest percentage difference in the entire table, and it points to a massive advantage in integer-heavy, branch-heavy workloads. The AMD part also wins PassMark random string sorting by 34.3% (35,904 versus 23,580), which is a memory-access and pointer-chasing test.

The Intel Core i7-1370P's biggest win is in Cinebench R23 multicore, where it scores 16,365 versus 12,735, a 28.5% delta. That is a substantial lead in a modern rendering benchmark. The Intel part also wins Cinebench R23 singlecore by 24.7% (2,310 versus 1,852) and PassMark floating point math by 12.5% (54,105 versus 48,107). The floating point win is interesting because it is a rare case where the Intel chip beats the AMD chip in a math-heavy test, despite the AMD chip winning the extended instructions test by such a wide margin.

The remaining head-to-head results show consistent AMD dominance. In PassMark multithread, the AMD part wins 27,058 versus 20,303, a 25% gap. In PassMark physics, it wins 1,776 versus 1,466, a 17.5% delta. In PassMark data compression, it wins 304,942 versus 217,676, a 28.6% delta. In PassMark data encryption, it wins 17,704 versus 13,067, a 26.2% delta. Even in the closest race, PassMark integer math, the AMD part wins by only 2.4% (80,581 versus 78,675), but it still takes the victory. The PassMark single-thread tests show the AMD part ahead by 9% (3,910 versus 3,557) in both recorded instances.

The average benchmark scores reflect this overall balance. The Intel i7-1370P has an average benchmark score of 26,900, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 scores 26,324. That puts the Intel part slightly ahead on average, but the head-to-head wins tell a different story. The Intel part's percentile rank is 79, just one point above the AMD part's 78. The nearest rivals for the Intel part include the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 at -0.1% delta and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G at -0.6%, while the AMD part's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX at +0.2% and the Intel Core i9-11900KF at +0.4%. These delta values are all within 1%, meaning both processors sit in a tight performance cluster.

The Verdict

The data suggests a workload-dependent choice. For users running Cinebench R23 or similar modern rendering workloads, the Intel Core i7-1370P is the stronger option, with a 28.5% multicore lead and a 24.7% singlecore lead. For nearly everything else in the database, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 wins. Data compression, encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, random string sorting, and general multithreaded PassMark tests all favor the AMD part, often by double-digit margins.

The Intel part does have a higher average benchmark score (26,900 versus 26,324) and a slightly higher percentile rank (79 versus 78), but that average is pulled up by the three tests where it wins big. The AMD part wins 12 of 15 head-to-head tests, which indicates broader consistency across varied workload types. The AMD part also offers ECC memory support, which the Intel part lacks, and has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, which could be a flexibility advantage for some users, but the AMD part has a rated memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s.

For a desktop user with a focus on productivity, data processing, or general multitasking, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is the data-backed choice. For a mobile user who needs to run Cinebench R23 renders or floating point math on the go, the Intel Core i7-1370P has a clear edge. The fact that the Intel chip is a mobile socket part (BGA 1744) and the AMD chip is a desktop socket part (AM5) further separates their intended use cases.
