AMD Ryzen 7 5700 vs AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents a clear split between the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS. The desktop part, the Ryzen 7 5700, takes 15 of the 23 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, while the mobile Ryzen 7 7735HS wins 8. The average benchmark scores reinforce this: the Ryzen 7 5700 posts an average of 25,517 against 25,147 for the 7735HS, a gap of roughly 1.5%.

The most decisive victories belong to the Ryzen 7 5700 in the Cinebench suite. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the 5700 scores 20,655 against 13,106 for the 7735HS, a 57.6% advantage. The single-core result is even more lopsided: 2,916 versus 1,546, a 88.6% margin. Cinebench R15 single-core also goes to the 5700 by 18.1%, with scores of 293 and 248. These are not small margins; the desktop chip is in a different tier in this workload.

Geekbench tells a similar story. The Ryzen 7 5700 leads multi-core with 9,959 versus 8,114, a 22.7% edge, and single-core with 1,907 versus 1,699, a 12.2% margin. The PassMark suite is also friendly to the 5700. Data compression shows 316,699 against 293,278, an 8% win. Data encryption is 20,096 versus 18,237, a 10.2% margin. Extended instructions come in at 21,945 versus 20,050, a 9.5% win. Floating point math favors the 5700 by 7.4%, and integer math by 5.6%. Random string sorting is 9% faster on the 5700, and multithread is 4.9% ahead.

The Ryzen 7 7735HS, however, is not without its own wins, and they cluster in the 3DMark suite and a few specific PassMark tests. In 3DMark 16-thread, the 7735HS scores 6,870 versus 6,628, a 3.5% margin. The max-thread test shows 6,872 versus 6,617, a 3.7% win. The 8-thread test is 5,697 versus 5,585, a 2% edge. The 2-thread test is a narrow 1,773 versus 1,762, a 0.6% margin, and the single-thread test is 912 versus 901, a 1.2% win. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the 7735HS takes a 3.3% lead with 2,153.4 versus 2,082. The PassMark physics test is a notable 8.3% win for the mobile chip, 1,073 versus 984, and find prime numbers is a 1.7% edge at 59 versus 58.

Two tests end in exact ties. The 3DMark 4-thread test is 3,382 for both, and PassMark single-thread is 3,296 for both. The database also records the 7735HS as the winner of the 3DMark 4-thread test in the head-to-head data despite identical scores, a quirk of the tie-breaking rule, but the scores are equal.

What is striking is the direction of the wins. The 7735HS wins primarily in 3DMark and physics, which are tests that can favor the mobile chip's higher boost behavior and platform characteristics. The 5700 wins in nearly every compute-heavy, sustained workload. The average scores place the 5700 in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the 7735HS sits at the 77th percentile. The nearest rivals for the 5700 include the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U at a 0.1% delta, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H at -0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U at 0.3%. The 7735HS's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H at -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS at -0.5%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F at 0.6%. Both chips are tightly grouped with their surrounding competition.

The Verdict

The data points to a simple conclusion for raw compute performance: the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is the stronger processor. It wins the majority of benchmarks, and its wins in Cinebench R23 and Geekbench are by margins that are hard to ignore. The 57.6% multi-core and 88.6% single-core leads in Cinebench R23 are the kind of numbers that define a performance tier. The 5700 also holds a higher average benchmark score, 25,517 versus 25,147, and a higher percentile ranking at 78 versus 77.

The Ryzen 7 7735HS is not a weak chip. It wins in 3DMark across multiple thread counts, and its physics test result is 8.3% higher. But those wins are narrower than the 5700's wins in compute tasks. The largest 7735HS margin is 3.7% in 3DMark max-thread, while the 5700's largest margin is 88.6%. The mobile chip is also a 35W part versus the 5700's 65W TDP, which explains some of the performance difference in sustained workloads.

For a buyer choosing strictly on benchmark data, the Ryzen 7 5700 is the pick for any workload where CPU compute matters. The 7735HS is the pick for a mobile platform where power efficiency and integrated graphics are priorities, but the recorded benchmarks do not show it as the faster processor, except in specific tests.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 wins in most CPU-centric tasks. Its PassMark multithread score of 24,303 versus 23,166 makes it the better choice for multithreaded applications like video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation. The data compression and encryption wins, 8% and 10.2% respectively, point to advantages in file archiving, database workloads, and security-related processing. Extended instructions, floating point, and integer math wins all favor the 5700 for scientific computing, financial modeling, and engineering simulation. The Cinebench R23 results, 20,655 versus 13,106, make it the clear choice for any serious rendering workload.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS wins in the 3DMark suite, which suggests it handles graphics-adjacent or bursty workloads well. The physics test win of 8.3% is notable, as it can indicate better performance in game physics calculations or simulation tasks. The find prime numbers win, while tiny at 1.7%, is another point in its favor for integer-heavy algorithms. The 7735HS also ties the 5700 in 3DMark 4-thread and PassMark single-thread, so it is not far behind in lightly threaded scenarios.

The practical split is this: sustained, heavy, multi-core compute belongs to the 5700. Bursty, short-duration, or physics-oriented workloads see the 7735HS pull ahead. For a desktop user running rendering or data processing, the 5700 is the obvious choice. For a mobile user who needs occasional bursts of performance and values the lower 35W TDP, the 7735HS has its place.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different points in AMD's product stack. The Ryzen 7 5700 is a desktop chip in the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It uses a 7 nm process node from TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Ryzen 7 7735HS is a mobile chip in the 7000 series, built on the Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename. It uses a 6 nm process node from TSMC on a 210 mm² die. The smaller process node gives the 7735HS a transistor density advantage, though the database does not list its transistor count.

Cache configurations are similar. Both have 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core. L3 cache is 16 MB on the 5700 and 16 MB shared on the 7735HS. The memory support differs significantly. The 5700 uses DDR4 with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The 7735HS uses DDR5 with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, a 50% higher theoretical bandwidth. Both support ECC memory.

The platform features are a major differentiator. The 5700 uses the AMD Socket AM4 and supports PCIe Gen 3 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The 7735HS uses the AMD Socket FP7 and supports PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The 7735HS also integrates a Radeon 680M graphics unit, while the 5700 has no integrated graphics. The 5700 has an unlocked multiplier, while the 7735HS does not. The 5700 is a desktop part with a 65W TDP, and the 7735HS is a mobile part with a 35W TDP.

Clock speeds show a trade-off. The 5700 has a higher base clock at 3.70 GHz, while the 7735HS has a higher boost clock at 4.75 GHz. The 5700 launched on April 3, 2022 with a launch MSRP of $179. The 7735HS launched on March 31, 2023 with no recorded launch MSRP. The 5700 is part of the 5000 series with the Zen 3 (Cezanne) generation, and the 7735HS is part of the 7000 series with the Zen 3+ (Rembrandt) generation. Both are currently in active production.

The architecture differences explain much of the benchmark behavior. The 5700's higher base clock and desktop power envelope help it in sustained multi-core workloads. The 7735HS's higher boost clock and newer process node help it in bursty tests, and its faster memory and PCIe Gen 4 support make it a more modern platform, though the recorded benchmarks do not show those features translating into compute wins. The 7735HS also carries an integrated GPU, which the 5700 lacks, making it a more complete mobile package despite its lower raw CPU scores.
