Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS is built on TSMC's 4 nm process and uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename. It integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses Intel's 10 nm process with the Bartlett Lake codename. It has fewer process advantages but compensates with a different core layout and higher boost clock.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD chip provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel chip provides 8 cores and 16 threads. That two-core, four-thread advantage helps Intel in multi-threaded workloads. The base clocks also diverge significantly: the AMD part runs at 4.30 GHz, while the Intel part runs at 2.10 GHz. However, the Intel boost clock reaches 5.20 GHz, slightly higher than the AMD boost of 5.00 GHz.

Cache hierarchies differ in both size and organization. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor has larger per-core allocations with 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The extra L3 capacity on the Intel side supports its higher core count.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a peak memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with a lower peak bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes. The Intel Core 5 213PTE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part's integrated graphics is the Radeon 760M, whereas the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730.

The market segments differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS is a mobile processor, released on 2024-04-15. The Intel Core 5 213PTE is a desktop processor, released on 2026-03-08. Both are currently marked as active production parts, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE establishes a clear advantage in rendering and general multi-threaded compute. Across all three Cinebench generations, R15, R20, and R23, it wins both single-core and multi-core tests with a consistent 9.2% to 9.4% margin. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 21751 against 19742, and in R23 single-core it scores 3070 against 2787. This pattern suggests that the Intel chip is the stronger choice for content creation, 3D rendering, and CPU-bound productivity tasks where sustained multi-core throughput matters.

The Intel processor also dominates in math-heavy and physics-based workloads. PassMark integer math shows a 21.9% lead (93109 vs. 72740), and floating point math shows a 36.6% lead (71722 vs. 45481). The PassMark physics result is particularly lopsided: 2199 for Intel versus 1208 for AMD, a 45.1% gap. Prime number finding is even more decisive, with Intel at 157 and AMD at 73, a 53.5% difference. These results indicate that simulations, scientific computing, and integer-heavy code will favor the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS wins in several specialized workloads. Data encryption is a major victory: 17387 versus 14413, a 20.6% margin. Extended instructions, which cover SIMD and cryptography-style operations, go to AMD by 31.4% (21212 vs. 16146). Random string sorting also favors AMD at 35472 versus 30106, a 17.8% lead. Data compression is a narrower AMD win at 265826 versus 261083, just 1.8% ahead. Single-thread performance in PassMark goes to AMD as well, 3858 versus 3718, a 3.8% edge.

The split is therefore clear: Intel wins the broad rendering and arithmetic categories, while AMD wins encryption, extended instruction sets, string sorting, and the PassMark single-thread metric. The PassMark multithread test goes to Intel (25590 vs. 23569, a 7.9% margin), reinforcing the Intel advantage in general parallel throughput.

The consistency across every Cinebench generation indicates a stable architectural advantage in both single-thread and multi-thread rendering.

PassMark results are more split. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS wins data compression with 265826 versus 261083, a slim 1.8% margin. Data encryption goes to AMD by a much larger gap: 17387 versus 14413, which is 20.6%. Extended instructions is the AMD chip's best result, 21212 versus 16146, a 31.4% lead. Random string sorting also favors AMD, 35472 versus 30106, a 17.8% win. In PassMark single-thread, AMD posts 3858 versus 3718, a 3.8% advantage.

The Intel Core 5 213PTE dominates the remaining PassMark tests. Find prime numbers shows the largest delta of the entire comparison: Intel at 157, AMD at 73, a 53.5% lead. Floating point math goes to Intel at 71722 versus 45481, a 36.6% margin. Integer math favors Intel at 93109 versus 72740, a 21.9% gap. PassMark physics is another strong Intel result, 2199 versus 1208, a 45.1% lead. The multithread test goes to Intel at 25590 versus 23569, a 7.9% margin.

The overall win count is 11 for Intel and 6 for AMD. The Intel processor's average benchmark score of 32924 puts it slightly above its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-12700, which averages 32942 with a delta of -0.1%. The AMD processor's average of 30879 sits just below the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F, which averages 30746 with a delta of 0.4%. In percentile terms, the Intel chip ranks in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, one point higher than the AMD chip's 82nd percentile.
