Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800H is built on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, and manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 10,700 million transistors into a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-1360P uses the Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-P, on Intel's 10 nm process. The die size and transistor count for the Intel chip are not recorded in the database.

Core configuration differs significantly. The AMD part has 8 full Zen 3 cores with 16 threads. The Intel part has 12 cores and 16 threads, reflecting a hybrid design with performance and efficiency cores. Cache layouts also diverge. The AMD chip offers 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Intel chip provides 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3.

Memory support differs. The Ryzen 7 5800H supports DDR4 only with dual-channel access and a recorded memory bandwidth of 68.3 GB/s. The Core i7-1360P supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, though no memory bandwidth figure is recorded for it. The Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 3.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD processor includes Radeon Vega 8, while the Intel processor includes Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. Both are mobile processors, both are currently active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $480, while the AMD chip has no recorded MSRP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data shows 15 recorded comparisons, with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H winning 8 and the Intel Core i7-1360P winning 7. The overall average benchmark scores tell a slightly different story: the Intel chip averages 24344 versus 23277 for AMD, a gap of about 4.6%.

In multi-core rendering, the AMD chip holds a consistent edge. Cinebench R23 multi-core shows 12091.5 for AMD versus 11266.5 for Intel, a 7.3% advantage. Cinebench R15 multi-core repeats the pattern: 2005 versus 1858, a 7.9% lead for AMD. This suggests the Ryzen's 8 full Zen 3 cores handle sustained all-core loads well despite the Intel chip's higher core count.

Single-core performance is a different story. The Intel chip leads Cinebench R23 single-core by 22.6% (1829 versus 1416) and Cinebench R15 single-core by 11.2% (258 versus 229). PassMark single-thread shows a 12.7% Intel advantage (3461 versus 3021). The Raptor Lake architecture clearly delivers stronger per-thread performance.

The largest AMD wins come in specialized workloads. PassMark extended instructions shows a 57.2% lead (18203 versus 11581). Data encryption shows 36.1% (16962 versus 12463). Data compression shows 32.8% (270608 versus 203746). These are substantial margins that indicate the Zen 3 cores handle complex instruction streams more efficiently.

The largest Intel wins are in physics and prime number finding. PassMark physics shows a 35.2% lead (1280 versus 830). PassMark find prime numbers shows a 37.2% lead (78 versus 49). Floating point math is nearly tied, with Intel ahead by just 3.3% (45997 versus 44479).

Integer math favors AMD by 18.9% (80786 versus 67963), and random string sorting favors AMD by 25% (28144 versus 22522). The PassMark multi-thread score goes to AMD by 11.6% (20789 versus 18632).

The Verdict

The data presents two processors with distinct strengths. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800H wins the multi-core benchmarks and the specialized data workloads. The Intel Core i7-1360P wins the single-core benchmarks and the physics/prime number tests.

For users who prioritize sustained multi-threaded performance, especially in rendering or data-intensive tasks, the Ryzen 7 5800H is the better choice. Its wins in Cinebench R23 multi-core (7.3% ahead) and PassMark multi-thread (11.6% ahead) are consistent, and its leads in data compression (32.8%) and encryption (36.1%) are decisive.

For users who prioritize single-thread responsiveness, the Core i7-1360P stands out. Its 22.6% lead in Cinebench R23 single-core is the largest single-thread margin in the comparison, and its 12.7% lead in PassMark single-thread confirms the pattern. The Intel chip also wins in physics (35.2% ahead), which can matter for certain simulation workloads.

The overall average benchmark score favors Intel (24344 versus 23277), but the head-to-head win count favors AMD (8 wins versus 7). Neither processor is a universal winner. The choice depends on workload mix. The AMD chip offers better throughput in multi-threaded and data-centric tasks. The Intel chip offers better per-thread performance and a higher peak clock.
