AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE vs Intel Core Ultra 7 356H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE against the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H. The database shows zero wins for each processor in direct comparison tests, and no individual test scores are available for the AMD part. This means a direct score-by-score breakdown is not possible from the current dataset.

What can be established is the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H's performance position relative to other processors in the database. Its average benchmark score of 41,215 places it at the 87th percentile of all CPUs, a strong showing. The nearest rivals confirm this standing: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 scores 41,208 (a 0% delta), the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H scores 41,263 (0.1% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X scores 41,376 (0.4% ahead), and the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H scores 40,967 (0.6% behind). The Ultra 7 356H sits within a tight cluster, differing from its closest competitors by less than one percent in either direction.

Individual benchmark results for the Ultra 7 356H show its multi-core capabilities. In Cinebench R23, it records a multi-core score of 18,395 and a single-core score of 2,040. The Cinebench R20 run yields 12,153 multi-core and 1,715 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 3,055 multi-core and 303 single-core. PassMark tests further characterize the chip: multi-thread performance scores 33,978, single-thread performance scores 4,072, integer math scores 83,111, floating point math scores 103,128, extended instructions score 27,898, data compression scores 336,177, data encryption scores 26,345, physics scores 2,895, random string sorting scores 40,990, and prime number finding scores 327.

With no benchmark data for the Ryzen 7 5705GE, the head-to-head comparison cannot be quantified. The database records an average benchmark score of 0 for the AMD processor, and it holds the 50th percentile among all CPUs. The absence of scores means every performance relationship between these two specific parts remains undefined in the current records.

Where Each One Wins

For the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H, the benchmark record clearly defines its strengths. Multi-threaded workloads benefit from the 18,395 Cinebench R23 multi-core result, which aligns with its 16-core, 16-thread configuration. The PassMark integer math score of 83,111 and floating point math score of 103,128 indicate solid computational throughput. Data compression at 336,177 and encryption at 26,345 round out a profile suited to content creation, scientific computing, and data processing tasks. Its 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs reinforces a position near the top of the database.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no recorded benchmark wins or scores in this dataset. Its capabilities must be inferred from its specifications alone, which include 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 35-watt TDP. The processor targets the desktop market segment with a 50th percentile standing, suggesting mid-range positioning, but specific workload strengths cannot be confirmed from measured data.

The Ultra 7 356H's single-thread performance is also documented: 4,072 in PassMark single-thread and 2,040 in Cinebench R23 single-core. These figures, combined with its 4.70 GHz boost clock, point to responsive single-threaded application behavior. The Ryzen 7 5705GE offers a 4.60 GHz boost clock and a 3.80 GHz base clock, but without test scores, direct comparisons of single-thread capability remain speculative.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H employs the Panther Lake architecture, also its codename, built on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundries. This process node difference is substantial: the Intel part uses a smaller lithography, which typically enables higher transistor density and improved power efficiency, though the AMD chip's transistor count is listed at 10,700 million with a die size of 180 mm², while the Intel chip's transistor count and die size are not recorded.

Core organization differs markedly. The Ryzen 7 5705GE presents 8 cores and 16 threads, a conventional symmetric design. The Core Ultra 7 356H also lists 16 threads but with 16 cores, indicating that not all cores support simultaneous multi-threading. The Intel part's cache hierarchy is larger per core: 192 KB of L1 per core versus 64 KB, and 2.5 MB of L2 per core versus 512 KB. Its L3 cache totals 18 MB shared, compared to 16 MB on the AMD processor.

Memory architecture also diverges. The Ryzen 7 5705GE supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel access and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Core Ultra 7 356H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, also dual-channel, with a significantly higher bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD chip provides Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip offers Gen 5 with 12 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon Graphics with 512 SPs on the AMD side and Intel Xe3 Graphics on the Intel side.

The Intel processor is unlocked for overclocking, while the AMD processor is not. The AMD part uses the AMD Socket AM4, whereas the Intel part uses Intel BGA 2540, a soldered mobile socket. The production status for both is Active, and neither has a launch MSRP recorded.
