AMD Ryzen 7 5700G vs Intel Core i7-1370P Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the Intel Core i7-1370P are two very different processors that end up in a near-statistical tie in overall average benchmark scores. The AMD desktop chip posts a 27051 average benchmark score, while the Intel mobile part scores 26900, a difference of just 0.6%. Both sit at the 79th percentile of all CPUs, and each appears in the other's nearest rival list with a deltaPct of less than 1%. This parity is remarkable given the hardware underneath, but the data shows the two chips achieve it through completely opposite strategies.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Ryzen 7 5700G dominates the Cinebench R15 tests, winning both multi-core and single-core. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the AMD chip scores 2107 against Intel's 1649, a 27.8% advantage. The single-core R15 result is closer, with AMD winning 242.5 to 232, a 4.5% edge. However, the narrative flips completely in Cinebench R23. Here, the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 16365 multi-core versus AMD's 12830.5, a 21.6% win for Intel. The single-core R23 gap is even more dramatic: Intel leads 2310 to 1494, a 35.3% margin. The discrepancy between R15 and R23 results suggests the two benchmarks stress the chips differently; R15 appears to favor AMD's architecture, while R23 rewards Intel's newer design.

PassMark results paint a clearer picture of workload-specific strengths. The Ryzen 7 5700G wins 8 of the 15 head-to-head benchmarks, but its victories are often by large margins. The biggest win is in PassMark extended instructions, where AMD scores 21847 against Intel's 12822, a 70.4% blowout. Data encryption shows a 55.5% win for AMD (20325 vs 13067), and data compression goes to AMD by 46.2% (318262 vs 217676). Random string sorting also favors AMD heavily, 33384 vs 23580, a 41.6% difference. Integer math goes to AMD by 16.4% (91541 vs 78675), and the PassMark multi-thread test shows AMD ahead 24419 to 20303, a 20.3% win.

Intel's seven wins are more concentrated but include some significant margins. The passmark find prime numbers test is a 39.2% win for Intel (97 vs 59), and physics shows Intel ahead by 31.9% (1466 vs 999). The single-thread tests go to Intel by 7.7% (3557 vs 3283), and floating point math is a narrow 5.2% Intel win (54105 vs 51296). The pattern is clear: AMD excels in data manipulation, encryption, and integer workloads, while Intel wins in prime calculation, physics simulation, and single-thread performance.

The Verdict

The data shows two distinct profiles. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is the stronger choice for tasks involving data compression, encryption, extended instruction sets, and general multi-threaded integer work. Its 20.3% lead in the PassMark multi-thread test and 70.4% lead in extended instructions indicate a chip that handles complex, varied workloads with ease. The Intel Core i7-1370P, by contrast, wins in Cinebench R23 multi-core by 21.6%, suggesting better sustained performance in modern render workloads that scale with the newer instruction set. Its 35.3% single-core lead in R23 and 7.7% lead in PassMark single-thread make it the pick for lightly-threaded, latency-sensitive applications.

For a desktop user with an AM4 motherboard, the Ryzen 7 5700G offers a compelling package: 8 cores and 16 threads, a 65W TDP, and an unlocked multiplier. For a mobile user, the Core i7-1370P brings 14 cores and 20 threads in a 28W package, but the data doesn't show a clear overall winner. The average benchmark scores are virtually identical, and the wins are split 8-7. The verdict is situational: pick AMD for data-heavy and integer-centric workloads, pick Intel for render workloads and single-thread responsiveness.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G uses the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-1370P uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-P, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a 217 mm² die. The transistor count for Intel is not listed, but the larger die suggests a more complex layout.

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 per core and 512 KB of L2 per core, with 16 MB of L3 cache. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core and 2 MB of L2 per core, with 24 MB of shared L3. The larger L2 per core on Intel (2 MB vs 512 KB) is notable, while AMD's larger L1 per core (64 KB vs 80 KB is actually Intel's advantage) shows a different approach to cache distribution. The L3 difference is significant: 24 MB shared on Intel versus 16 MB on AMD, which may explain Intel's R23 multi-core advantage.

Memory support differs as well. AMD supports only DDR4, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. AMD's memory bandwidth is listed at 51.2 GB/s, while Intel's is not specified. PCIe connectivity also differs: AMD provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes, while Intel offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes, a clear advantage for newer peripherals. The integrated graphics are distinct: AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, while Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts are the most obvious divergence. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i7-1370P has 14 cores and 20 threads. Clock speeds tell a different story: AMD's base clock is 3.80 GHz and boost is 4.60 GHz, while Intel's base clock is 1900.00 MHz (1.90 GHz) and boost is 5.20 GHz. The Intel chip relies on a much lower base clock but a higher boost, typical of mobile processors managing thermals. TDP reflects this: AMD is rated at 65W, while Intel is at 28W. The socket types are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM4, while Intel uses BGA 1744. The Intel chip is a mobile part with a launch MSRP of $438, while AMD's launch MSRP is not listed. AMD's multiplier is unlocked, while Intel's is locked. The production status for both is active, but AMD released in 2021-04-12, while Intel released in 2023-01-03. AMD's part number is 100-000000263, Intel's is SRMJ6.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G wins in data compression (46.2% lead), data encryption (55.5% lead), extended instructions (70.4% lead), integer math (16.4% lead), multi-thread PassMark (20.3% lead), random string sorting (41.6% lead), and Cinebench R15 multi-core and single-core (27.8% and 4.5% leads respectively). These wins point to a chip that excels in database operations, compression algorithms, and general integer processing. It is the better choice for users who run file archiving, encryption, or complex calculation software on a desktop platform.

The Intel Core i7-1370P wins in Cinebench R23 multi-core (21.6% lead) and single-core (35.3% lead), PassMark find prime numbers (39.2% lead), physics (31.9% lead), floating point math (5.2% lead), and PassMark single-thread (7.7% lead). These results indicate strengths in modern render engines, physics simulation, and floating-point-heavy scientific workloads. The 35.3% single-core lead in R23 is particularly striking, suggesting that for lightly-threaded tasks like web browsing, office applications, or legacy software, the Intel chip provides noticeably snappier performance. The 28W TDP also makes it suitable for thin-and-light laptops where sustained multi-core loads are less common. The data shows no universal winner, but rather two chips optimized for different thermal envelopes and workload profiles.
