Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 3750H vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ
The AMD Ryzen 7 3750H and the Intel Core i7-4810MQ are both 4-core, 8-thread mobile processors, but they come from different eras and different design philosophies. The recorded data shows the AMD part winning four of the six head-to-head benchmarks, while the Intel part takes the remaining two. The AMD also holds a higher average benchmark score of 1690 against 1651 for the Intel, and both sit at the 40th percentile among all CPUs in the database. These numbers suggest a close overall contest, but the distribution of wins reveals distinct strengths that matter for different workloads.
The Verdict
The data points to the AMD Ryzen 7 3750H as the stronger overall performer for most users. It wins four of the six direct comparisons, including a dominant showing in the Cinebench R15 suite and a clear edge in Geekbench multi-core. Its average benchmark score of 1690 is higher than the Intel's 1651, and it matches the Intel at the 40th percentile. For anyone running legacy applications, multi-threaded productivity tasks, or the older Cinebench R15 test, the AMD part is the clear choice.
The Intel Core i7-4810MQ, however, is not without its own territory. It wins the Cinebench R23 multi-core test by a substantial margin and takes the Geekbench single-core test. That makes it the better pick for workloads that rely on the newest Cinebench rendering loop or on lightly threaded applications where single-core Geekbench performance is a proxy. The Intel part also carries a launch MSRP of $378, though the database does not record a launch price for the AMD. Given the AMD's higher average score and its 4-to-2 win record, the verdict is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 7 3750H is the better all-around processor, while the Intel Core i7-4810MQ serves a narrower set of specific tasks.
Where Each One Wins
The AMD Ryzen 7 3750H wins in the Cinebench R15 multi-core test with a score of 734 against 516, a 42.2% advantage. It also wins the Cinebench R15 single-core test with 144 against 72, which is a 100% lead, meaning it doubles the Intel's score. In the Cinebench R23 single-core test, the AMD scores 971 against 724, a 34.1% lead. Finally, it takes the Geekbench multi-core test with 3446 against 3203, a 7.6% edge. These wins cover both single-threaded and multi-threaded scenarios in the older Cinebench generation, plus the multi-core Geekbench workload.
The Intel Core i7-4810MQ wins in the Cinebench R23 multi-core test with 5129 against 3897, a 24% lead. It also wins the Geekbench single-core test with 1106 against 950, a 14.1% lead. These two victories are significant, but they are isolated to the newest Cinebench version and a single-threaded Geekbench test. The pattern is clear: the AMD dominates the legacy Cinebench R15 suite and the Geekbench multi-core test, while the Intel takes the modern Cinebench R23 multi-core and the Geekbench single-core test. Users who prioritize the former set of workloads should choose the AMD, while those who need the latter two specific results should consider the Intel.
Architecture Differences
The two processors are built on fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Ryzen 7 3750H uses the Zen+ architecture, codenamed Picasso, and is manufactured on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It packs 4,940 million transistors into a 210 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-4810MQ uses the Haswell architecture, also codenamed Haswell, and is built on a 22 nm process at Intel. It contains 1,400 million transistors on a 177 mm² die. The AMD part is newer, with a release date of 2019-01-05, while the Intel part dates to 2014-01-19.
Cache layouts differ as well. The AMD provides 96 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, with a shared 4 MB L3 cache. The Intel provides 64 KB of L1 per core and 256 KB of L2 per core, but a larger shared 6 MB L3 cache. Memory support also diverges: the AMD uses DDR4 memory, while the Intel uses DDR3. Both run dual-channel memory, but the Intel has a recorded memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s, while the AMD has no recorded bandwidth figure. The integrated graphics differ, with the AMD featuring Radeon Vega 10 and the Intel featuring Intel HD 4600. The AMD has a TDP of 35 watts, while the Intel has a TDP of 47 watts. The AMD uses the AMD Socket FP5, and the Intel uses the Intel Socket G3. Both support PCIe Gen 3, but the Intel specifies 16 lanes for the CPU only. The AMD is listed as Active in production, while the Intel is End-of-life.
