Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G is built around the Zen 3 architecture, specifically the Cezanne die, and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. It uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform and is categorized as a desktop part. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H, by contrast, uses the Panther Lake architecture (Panther Lake-H) on Intel's 3 nm process, with transistor count and die size not recorded in the database. It is a mobile processor on the Intel BGA 2540 socket.

Cache organization differs substantially between the two. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor's larger per-core L2 and L1 allocations reflect its different core layout and higher core count.

Memory architecture also separates the two. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G supports DDR4 with dual-channel memory and a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and 115.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, more than double the AMD part's figure. The Intel chip also uses PCIe Gen 5 with 12 CPU lanes, while the AMD chip is limited to PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor includes Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors, while the Intel processor uses Intel Xe3 Graphics. Both have integrated GPUs, but the database does not include comparative graphics benchmark scores for either.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H records the only benchmark scores in the database, so its strengths are directly measurable. It posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991, a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 10076, and a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2418. In single-core tests, it scores 3387 in Cinebench R23, 1422 in Cinebench R20, and 341 in Cinebench R15. PassMark data shows a multi-thread score of 28545, a single-thread score of 4013, and strong results in integer math (62070), floating point math (82415), extended instructions (24542), and data compression (280340).

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded benchmark results in the database, meaning no direct performance wins can be attributed to it from measured data. Its advantages are architectural and platform-based rather than benchmark-derived. It offers a higher base clock (3.80 GHz versus 1.90 GHz), an unlocked multiplier for overclocking, and PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes versus Gen 5 with 12 lanes. Its desktop socket (AM4) allows for a broader range of upgrade and cooling options compared to the mobile BGA 2540 package of the Intel chip.

The Intel part wins clearly in any performance category covered by the recorded benchmarks. The data shows the Intel processor's multi-thread throughput is considerable, and its 84th percentile ranking versus all CPUs places it well above the AMD chip's 50th percentile. The AMD chip's 65 W TDP is higher than the Intel chip's 25 W, which reflects the desktop versus mobile design split: the AMD part is built for sustained desktop workloads, while the Intel part targets power-constrained mobile systems.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every major specification category. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H uses 16 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 3.80 GHz for AMD versus 1.90 GHz for Intel, though both share a 4.60 GHz boost clock. The AMD chip has a 65 W TDP; the Intel chip has a 25 W TDP.

Socket and market segment separate the two clearly: the AMD part uses AMD Socket AM4 and is a desktop processor, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 2540 and is a mobile processor. The process node differs, with TSMC's 7 nm for AMD and Intel's 3 nm for the Intel chip. The AMD die is 180 mm² with 10,700 million transistors; the Intel die size and transistor count are not recorded.

Cache configurations differ: AMD has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3; Intel has 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3. Memory support favors Intel with DDR5 and LPDDR5X versus AMD's DDR4. Memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s for AMD versus 115.2 GB/s for Intel. PCIe support is Gen 3 with 16 lanes for AMD versus Gen 5 with 12 lanes for Intel. Integrated graphics are Radeon Graphics 512SP for AMD versus Intel Xe3 Graphics for Intel. The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier; the Intel chip does not. Release dates differ as well, with the AMD part dated 2025-02-23 and the Intel part dated 2026-01-04.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains benchmark results only for the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H, so the head-to-head comparison relies on the Intel chip's recorded scores and the AMD chip's absence of recorded scores. The Intel processor's average benchmark score is 34485, placing it at the 84th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-13700HX (34554, 0.2% faster), the Intel Core i5-13450HX (34333, 0.4% slower), the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (34260, 0.7% slower), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (34222, 0.8% slower). This places the Core Ultra 5 336H in a tight performance cluster with those four chips, all within roughly one percentage point of each other.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel chip scores 23991 multi-core and 3387 single-core. The multi-core figure indicates strong sustained throughput for a 25 W mobile part. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10076 multi-core and 1422 single-core. In Cinebench R15, the scores are 2418 multi-core and 341 single-core. These results show a consistent scaling pattern across the three Cinebench versions, with multi-core performance roughly seven to eight times the single-core figure.

PassMark results for the Intel chip show a multi-thread score of 28545 and a single-thread score of 4013. Integer math scores 62070, floating point math scores 82415, and extended instructions score 24542. Data compression scores 280340, data encryption scores 21291, and random string sorting scores 34402. Physics scores 2682, and find prime numbers scores 299. The floating point math score is notably higher than the integer math score, indicating strong FP throughput in this architecture.

Because the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no benchmark entries, the recorded data cannot confirm any performance relationship between the two chips. The only measurable comparison available is the percentile gap: the Intel part sits at the 84th percentile versus all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 50th percentile. That gap, combined with the Intel chip's complete benchmark profile, indicates that the Core Ultra 5 336H holds the performance advantage in every tested workload category. The AMD chip's higher base clock and unlocked multiplier may benefit overclocking scenarios, but no benchmark data exists to quantify that advantage. The head-to-head analysis is therefore one-sided: all recorded performance numbers belong to the Intel processor, and its nearest-rival deltas show it competing within a narrow band around the 34500 average score mark.
