AMD Ryzen 7 4700G vs Intel Core i5-1350P Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark split between these two processors is unusually one-sided. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G wins every single head-to-head test in the database, across both single-core and multi-core workloads. The Intel Core i5-1350P records zero wins in the six recorded comparisons. This is not a case of one chip dominating in one type of workload and the other taking the lead elsewhere; the AMD part holds a consistent edge in every Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 test.

For single-threaded tasks, the Ryzen 7 4700G leads by a narrow but repeatable margin. Its Cinebench R15 single-core score of 243 beats the Intel chip's 234, and the R20 single-core result of 1014 versus 979 shows a similar gap. The R23 single-core test follows the same pattern, with AMD at 2415 and Intel at 2331. These are small deltas, around 3.5 to 3.7 percent, but they are consistent across all three versions of Cinebench.

Multi-core performance tells the same story. The Ryzen 7 4700G posts 1724 in R15 multi-core against 1664 for the Intel Core i5-1350P. In R20 multi-core, the AMD chip scores 7186 versus 6935. The R23 multi-core result shows 17111 for AMD and 16514 for Intel. Every one of these results favors the AMD processor by roughly 3.5 percent. The data does not show any workload category, whether rendering, encoding, or general productivity, where the Intel chip pulls ahead.

The average benchmark score in the database reinforces this. The Ryzen 7 4700G sits at 4949, while the Intel Core i5-1350P averages 4776. That is a 173-point gap, or about 3.6 percent, which aligns with the per-test deltas. Both processors land in the 59th percentile of all CPUs in the database, so they occupy the same overall performance tier, but the AMD part consistently sits at the top of that tier.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different design philosophies and manufacturing processes. The Intel Core i5-1350P is built on Intel's 10 nm process and uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-P mobile variant. It packs 12 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The chip is designed for mobile platforms, fitting the Intel BGA 1744 socket, and carries a 28 W TDP.

The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G uses the Zen 2 architecture under the Renoir codename, fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This is a desktop part on the AMD Socket AM4 platform with a 65 W TDP. The transistor count is listed at 9,800 million on a 156 mm² die.

Cache configurations differ notably. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD chip offers 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has a larger total cache pool, but the AMD part's smaller per-core L2 is offset by its lower core count and different memory hierarchy design.

Memory support also separates the two. The Intel Core i5-1350P supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G supports only DDR4, also dual-channel, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel chip does not list a memory bandwidth figure in the database, but its support for DDR5 gives it a potential bandwidth advantage in systems that use that memory type.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The Intel chip provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the AMD part provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel processor's newer PCIe standard offers higher per-lane bandwidth for compatible devices.

Integrated graphics are present on both. Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units, while AMD pairs the Ryzen 7 4700G with Radeon Vega 8. Neither integrated solution is benchmarked in the head-to-head data, so direct comparisons rest on the CPU core tests alone.

The Intel chip is not multiplier-unlocked, while the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G is. The AMD part also includes a launch date of July 2020, while the Intel part launched in January 2023. The Intel chip has a recorded launch MSRP of $320; no launch MSRP is listed for the AMD part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The six recorded Cinebench results all point in the same direction. Starting with Cinebench R15 multi-core, the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G scores 1724 against 1664 for the Intel Core i5-1350P, a delta of -3.5 percent from Intel's perspective. The R15 single-core test shows AMD at 243 and Intel at 234, a -3.7 percent gap.

Moving to Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is AMD 7186 versus Intel 6935, again a -3.5 percent difference. The single-core R20 test shows AMD 1014 and Intel 979, with the same -3.5 percent delta. Cinebench R23 multi-core continues the pattern: AMD 17111, Intel 16514, -3.5 percent. The R23 single-core test rounds out the set with AMD 2415 and Intel 2331, also -3.5 percent.

The consistency of these margins matters. Across six tests spanning three different Cinebench versions, the gap never widens beyond 3.7 percent and never shrinks below 3.5 percent. This suggests a stable performance advantage for the AMD chip that scales proportionally with workload intensity, rather than a result driven by a single benchmark quirk.

The nearest rivals in the database help contextualize these scores. The Intel Core i5-1350P has an average benchmark score of 4776, placing it within 0.1 percent of the AMD EPYC 7252 (4772) and essentially tied with the Intel Xeon W-1290E (4775). It trails the Intel Xeon E-2386G (4799) by 0.5 percent and the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (4807) by 0.6 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G, with its 4949 average, sits 0.3 percent ahead of the Intel Xeon W-1290 (4932) and trails the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C48 (4967) by 0.4 percent, the Intel Core i5-12600HE (4980) by 0.6 percent, and the Intel Core i7-1375PRE (4985) by 0.7 percent.

These surrounding scores show that the Ryzen 7 4700G operates in a slightly higher performance bracket than the Core i5-1350P, even though both sit at the 59th percentile overall.

The Verdict

The data points to one clear conclusion: the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G outperforms the Intel Core i5-1350P in every CPU benchmark recorded. The margins are modest, roughly 3.5 percent across the board, but they are uniform and repeatable. For anyone choosing strictly on measured performance, the AMD part wins.

The Intel Core i5-1350P does offer newer platform features. It supports DDR5 memory, uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, and has a larger L3 cache at 12 MB. Its 28 W TDP versus the AMD chip's 65 W TDP also suggests lower power draw, though no power consumption figures appear in the database. These factors matter for system design, particularly in mobile or compact builds where the Intel chip's BGA socket and lower TDP are relevant.

But the benchmark scores do not favor Intel. The Core i5-1350P's 12 cores and 16 threads do not translate into a multi-core win; the Ryzen 7 4700G's 8 cores and 16 threads deliver higher scores in every multi-core test. Similarly, the Intel chip's higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz versus 4.40 GHz does not yield a single-core advantage.

For a desktop user who can accommodate a 65 W AM4 processor, the Ryzen 7 4700G is the better pick based on recorded data. It wins all six Cinebench tests and holds a higher average benchmark score. For a mobile or low-power build where the Intel BGA 1744 socket and 28 W TDP fit the requirements, the Core i5-1350P is the only choice of the two, and its performance deficit is small enough to be acceptable in that context.
