AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Core Ultra 5 225T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite only for the Intel Core Ultra 5 225T, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded benchmark scores. This limits direct numerical comparison, but the available data for the Intel part is extensive and allows a detailed profile of its performance positioning.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225T records an average benchmark score of 30,468, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, based on average score, include the Intel Core i9-11980HK at 30,422 (0.2% behind), the AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS at 30,390 (0.3% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 7736U at 30,364 (0.3% behind). The Intel Core i5-13600H scores 30,548, which is 0.3% ahead of the 225T. These margins are extremely tight, indicating that the Core Ultra 5 225T sits in a densely packed performance band where a single percent separates it from several mobile and desktop processors.

In Cinebench R23, the Core Ultra 5 225T delivers a multi-core score of 21,971 and a single-core score of 3,101. The single-core figure is particularly strong relative to its rivals, as the 225T's boost clock of 4.90 GHz is the highest listed among the comparison group. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 9,227 and single-core is 1,302. In the older Cinebench R15 test, the part scores 2,214 multi-core and 312 single-core. The progression across these three Cinebench versions shows consistent scaling, with the multi-core scores growing roughly in line with expected workload intensity.

PassMark results further detail the Intel part's strengths. The multi-thread score is 25,358, while the single-thread score is 4,348. Integer math scores 59,543, floating point math scores 82,751, and extended instructions score 20,083. Data compression reaches 233,998, data encryption reaches 18,289, and random string sorting reaches 28,774. Physics simulation scores 2,053, and finding prime numbers scores 284. The floating point math result is notably higher than integer math, suggesting strong vector and FPU throughput, which aligns with the 3 nm Arrow Lake architecture's design priorities.

Because the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no benchmark entries in the database, the head-to-head comparison cannot rely on measured scores for that part. The only quantitative facts available for the 5705G are its specifications: 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 3.80 GHz, a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, a 65 W TDP, and Zen 3 architecture on a 7 nm process. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225T, by contrast, has 10 cores and 10 threads, a base clock of 2.50 GHz, a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, a 65 W TDP, and Arrow Lake architecture on a 3 nm process. The Intel part's higher boost clock and larger core count are reflected in its recorded scores, while the AMD part's lack of data leaves its performance unquantified in this database.

The nearest rival deltas for the Core Ultra 5 225T are all within 0.3 percentage points, which indicates that in aggregate benchmarks, the 225T is effectively tied with the Intel Core i9-11980HK, AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS, and AMD Ryzen 7 7736U. The only rival to edge ahead is the Intel Core i5-13600H, and only by 0.3%. This tight clustering suggests that the 225T's performance is competitive with both older high-end Intel mobile parts and current mid-range AMD mobile parts, despite being a desktop processor.

Where Each One Wins

For the Intel Core Ultra 5 225T, the recorded data shows clear strengths in multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,971 places it well above the average for CPUs in the 82nd percentile, and the single-core score of 3,101 reflects its high boost clock. In PassMark, the multi-thread score of 25,358 and single-thread score of 4,348 are both strong, with the floating point math score of 82,751 being the highest individual subtest in the suite. This makes the 225T well suited for tasks that leverage floating point arithmetic, such as scientific computing, 3D rendering, and simulation workloads. The data compression score of 233,998 is also substantial, indicating strong performance in file archiving and data processing tasks.

The Intel part's 10 cores and 10 threads mean it does not benefit from simultaneous multithreading, but the raw core count still provides solid parallel throughput. The 20 MB shared L3 cache and per-core L2 cache of 3 MB contribute to lower latency in cache-sensitive workloads. The DDR5 memory support, with a dual-channel bus and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth, gives the platform a wide memory pipeline for bandwidth-hungry applications.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G, the database contains no benchmark scores, so no quantitative wins can be assigned. However, the specification data provides a qualitative profile. The 5705G has 8 cores and 16 threads, which gives it simultaneous multithreading capability that the Intel part lacks. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz is higher than the Intel's 2.50 GHz, although the Intel part boosts higher at 4.90 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. The AMD part uses DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is half the Intel part's DDR5 bandwidth. The integrated graphics on the AMD side is Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors, while the Intel side uses Arc Xe-LPG Graphics with 16 execution units. Without benchmark measurements, the 5705G's wins cannot be quantified, but its 16 threads and unlocked multiplier suggest advantages in highly threaded workloads and overclocking scenarios, respectively. The 5705G also uses the AMD Socket AM4, which is a mature platform with broad compatibility, whereas the Intel part uses Socket 1851, a newer platform.

The Intel part's 82nd percentile ranking and the AMD part's 50th percentile ranking (based on all CPUs, though the AMD figure reflects no benchmark data) further separate the two in the database's view. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 30,468 is the only measured aggregate, while the AMD part's average is recorded as 0 due to missing data.
