AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS vs Intel Core i7-1375PRE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data presents an unusually clear split: the Intel Core i7-1375PRE wins every single recorded test against the AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS. Across six Cinebench workloads, Intel takes six wins, AMD takes zero. This is not a case of one part dominating in multi-threaded tasks while the other reclaims ground in single-threaded work. The Intel processor leads in both categories, and the margins are consistent.

The closest contest appears in Cinebench R15 single-core, where Intel scores 245 against AMD's 237, a 3.4% advantage. The largest absolute gaps show up in the multi-core tests, with Cinebench R23 multi-core giving Intel 17236 points versus AMD's 16690, a difference of 546 points. That margin is meaningful for sustained rendering workloads, but it is not a generational chasm. The average benchmark score tells a similar story: Intel sits at 4985, AMD at 4827, a difference of roughly 158 points.

Neither chip breaks into a higher performance tier. Both processors land at the 59th percentile among all CPUs in the database. This means that while Intel is consistently ahead in these direct comparisons, both parts occupy the same overall performance bracket relative to the broader market. The Intel Core i7-1375PRE is not a class above the Ryzen 7 5800HS; it is a modest but consistent winner across every measured workload.

For users who prioritize single-thread responsiveness, the Intel part delivers Cinebench R20 single-core at 1021 versus 989 for AMD, and Cinebench R23 single-core at 2433 versus 2356. For users who prioritize multi-core throughput, the Intel part delivers Cinebench R20 multi-core at 7239 versus 7009, and Cinebench R15 multi-core at 1737 versus 1682. There is no workload category in the recorded data where the AMD processor takes the lead. The verdict is straightforward: the Intel Core i7-1375PRE wins everywhere, but the margins are narrow enough that the choice may hinge on other factors such as platform features, power characteristics, or system-level design.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The Intel Core i7-1375PRE is built on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-P codename, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process node. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS uses Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, built on TSMC's 7 nm process node. The foundry split is Intel for the former, TSMC for the latter.

Core counts differ significantly. Intel fields 14 cores and 20 threads, while AMD fields 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part relies on a hybrid arrangement typical of Raptor Lake, combining performance and efficiency cores to reach that thread count. AMD's Cezanne design uses eight full Zen 3 cores, each supporting two threads. The transistor counts reflect the different approaches: AMD lists 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die, while Intel does not list a transistor count but shows a 217 mm² die size.

Cache hierarchies diverge as well. Intel allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part offers more total cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets. The AMD part ships with a smaller per-core L2, but Zen 3's architecture compensates in other ways.

Memory support differs. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. AMD supports DDR4 only, also dual-channel. AMD lists a memory bandwidth of 68.3 GB/s, while Intel does not provide a bandwidth figure in the database. PCIe capabilities also differ: Intel offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while AMD offers Gen 3. This gives the Intel platform an advantage for high-throughput storage or external GPU connectivity.

Integrated graphics differ as well. Intel pairs the CPU with Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. AMD uses Radeon Vega 8 graphics. The database does not provide comparative graphics benchmarks, so any assessment of iGPU performance must remain qualitative. Both parts target the mobile segment, with Intel using the BGA 1744 socket and AMD using Socket FP6. The Intel part launched on 2023-01-03, while AMD launched on 2021-01-11, putting roughly two years between their release dates. Both remain in active production. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification field. The Intel Core i7-1375PRE uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-P codename, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS uses Zen 3 with the Cezanne codename. Intel's process node is 10 nm from its own foundry; AMD's is 7 nm from TSMC. Intel does not list transistor count, but AMD lists 10,700 million transistors.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data is remarkably consistent. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, Intel scores 1737 against AMD's 1682, a 3.3% lead. In Cinebench R15 single-core, Intel scores 245 against AMD's 237, a 3.4% lead. The margins are nearly identical across every generation of the Cinebench suite.

Cinebench R20 multi-core gives Intel 7239 and AMD 7009, another 3.3% lead. Cinebench R20 single-core gives Intel 1021 and AMD 989, a 3.2% lead. Cinebench R23 multi-core gives Intel 17236 and AMD 16690, a 3.3% lead. Cinebench R23 single-core gives Intel 2433 and AMD 2356, a 3.3% lead.

The single-core results are particularly informative. Intel's boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus AMD's 4.40 GHz helps explain the consistent single-core advantage, though the database does not provide a direct clock-for-clock comparison. The multi-core results show Intel's 14-core, 20-thread configuration beating AMD's 8-core, 16-thread configuration by roughly the same percentage, which suggests the advantage scales evenly across both lightly threaded and heavily threaded workloads.

The largest single-score gap is in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where Intel leads by 546 points. The smallest absolute gap is in Cinebench R15 single-core, where Intel leads by 8 points. In percentage terms, the smallest margin is the 3.2% in Cinebench R20 single-core, and the largest is the 3.4% in Cinebench R15 single-core. No test comes close to a tie, and no test shows AMD ahead.

It is importantly both processors sit at the 59th percentile among all CPUs. The Intel part's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12600HE at 4980 average score, a 0.1% difference, and the Intel Xeon W-2150B at 4992, a 0.1% difference in the rival's favor. The AMD part's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 4700GE at 4836, a 0.2% difference in the rival's favor, and the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X at 4807, a 0.4% difference in the AMD part's favor. These proximity values reinforce that both chips sit in a dense performance region where small margins separate many models.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear but narrow conclusion. The Intel Core i7-1375PRE wins every benchmark in the head-to-head comparison, with margins between 3.2% and 3.4% across all six Cinebench tests. Users who need the best possible Cinebench scores, whether single-core or multi-core, should choose the Intel part based on this evidence alone.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS is not without merit, but the benchmark results do not show a workload where it takes the lead. Its strengths must be inferred from specifications rather than measured wins. It uses a smaller 7 nm process node from TSMC, lists a lower die size at 180 mm², and has a higher base clock at 2.80 GHz. Its 35 W TDP is higher than Intel's 28 W TDP, and it supports only DDR4 memory. The Intel part offers DDR5 support, PCIe Gen 4, more cores, more threads, and a higher boost clock.

For a user prioritizing raw benchmark performance, the Intel Core i7-1375PRE is the pick. For a user who values the smaller process node, the higher base clock, or AMD's platform characteristics, the Ryzen 7 5800HS remains a competitive alternative, but the database does not provide a benchmark win to justify that choice. Both processors occupy the same 59th percentile, and neither pulls away from the broader field. The Intel part wins the direct comparison, but the margins are modest enough that system-level considerations such as memory support, PCIe generation, and integrated graphics may carry equal weight in a final purchasing decision.
