Q: How do the two compare in overall database percentile ranking?

A: The Intel Core i7-1370P sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS sits at the 78th percentile. Their average benchmark scores are close: 26900 for Intel and 26402 for AMD.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core i7-1370P is built on Raptor Lake, specifically the Raptor Lake-P variant, using Intel's 10 nm process node manufactured in-house. It uses a hybrid design with 14 cores and 20 threads, which implies a mix of performance and efficiency cores. The die size is 217 mm². The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This is a mobile processor on the Intel BGA 1744 socket.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename. It is fabricated on TSMC's 6 nm process, a smaller node than Intel's 10 nm. The chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, all based on the same core design, with a die size of 210 mm². Its cache is smaller per core: 64 KB L1, 512 KB L2, and 16 MB of shared L3. The socket is AMD Socket FP7.

A key architectural difference is the integrated graphics. Intel's chip includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, which allows for basic display output and light GPU tasks without a discrete card. The AMD chip has no integrated graphics listed, so it depends entirely on a separate GPU. This is a significant distinction for thin-and-light laptops where a discrete GPU may not always be active.

Memory support also differs. The Intel Core i7-1370P supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS supports only DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD part lists a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the Intel part does not have a bandwidth figure in the database. The AMD chip also supports ECC memory, a feature not present on the Intel part.

Process node and foundry choice matter here. TSMC's 6 nm node gives AMD a transistor density advantage on paper, though the actual performance depends on clock speeds and architecture efficiency. Intel's 10 nm is older, but the hybrid core layout allows the i7-1370P to manage power more flexibly. Both chips are unlocked multipliers, meaning neither is intended for overclocking.

The production status for both is active. The Intel part was released on 2023-01-03 and has a launch MSRP of $438. The AMD part has no release date or launch MSRP listed in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS dominates in multi-threaded rendering and compute-heavy tasks. In Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multicore tests, AMD leads by about 17.7% consistently. This makes it the better choice for video rendering, 3D modeling, and other workloads that scale across all cores. The higher TDP of 45W allows the AMD chip to sustain higher clocks under load.

The AMD chip also wins in data compression, scoring 310038 versus Intel's 217676, a 29.8% advantage. Data encryption follows the same pattern, with AMD at 18648 against Intel's 13067, a 29.9% lead. Extended instruction workloads favor AMD even more strongly, with a 40.9% gap. Random string sorting, integer math, and multithreaded PassMark tests all go to AMD as well.

The Intel Core i7-1370P wins in specific single-threaded and specialized workloads. PassMark single-thread score is 3557 versus AMD's 3167, a 12.3% advantage. This suggests Intel has a stronger single-core design for lightly threaded applications like web browsing, office productivity, and some legacy software. Intel also wins in floating point math, scoring 54105 against AMD's 48863, a 10.7% lead.

The biggest Intel win is in the find prime numbers test, where Intel scores 97 versus AMD's 54, a 79.6% advantage. This is a highly specific workload, but it shows Intel's strength in certain algorithmic patterns. Physics simulation also favors Intel, with a score of 1466 versus AMD's 991, a 47.9% lead.

For gaming, the choice depends on the workload. If a game is heavily multithreaded, the AMD chip's higher multicore throughput helps. If a game relies on single-thread performance, Intel's PassMark single-thread lead may give it an edge. However, neither chip has integrated graphics on the AMD side, so a discrete GPU is mandatory for the Ryzen 7 7435HS.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The Intel Core i7-1370P has 14 cores and 20 threads, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clock speeds differ significantly: Intel runs at 1900 MHz, AMD at 3100 MHz. Boost clocks favor Intel, with 5.20 GHz versus AMD's 4.50 GHz. TDP is also different, with Intel at 28W and AMD at 45W.

Cache configurations are distinct. Intel uses 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. AMD uses 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Intel chip has a larger L3 cache overall, which can help in certain workloads.

Process node and foundry are different: Intel uses its own 10 nm process, while AMD uses TSMC's 6 nm process. The die sizes are close, at 217 mm² for Intel and 210 mm² for AMD. Memory support differs, with Intel offering both DDR4 and DDR5, while AMD only supports DDR5. ECC memory is supported on AMD but not on Intel.

Integrated graphics are a major differentiator. Intel includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96EU, while AMD has no integrated graphics. This means the AMD chip cannot output video without a discrete GPU, while the Intel chip can handle basic display tasks on its own.

The sockets are incompatible: Intel uses BGA 1744, AMD uses Socket FP7. Both support PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. Both are mobile processors and both have locked multipliers. The Intel part has a part number of SRMJ6, the AMD part is 100-000001506.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data shows a clear split. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS wins 12 of the 17 recorded benchmarks, while the Intel Core i7-1370P wins 5. However, the margin of victory matters as much as the count.

In Cinebench, AMD wins all six tests. R15 multicore goes to AMD at 2003 versus 1649, a 17.7% margin. R15 single-core goes to AMD at 282 versus 232, also 17.7%. R20 multicore shows AMD at 8346 versus Intel's 6873, a 17.6% gap. R20 single-core is 1178 versus 970, a 17.7% difference. R23 multicore is 19873 versus 16365, a 17.7% lead for AMD. R23 single-core is 2805 versus 2310, a 17.6% gap. These consistent margins suggest AMD has a balanced advantage across all Cinebench versions, both single and multi-core.

PassMark tests tell a more varied story. AMD wins data compression, encryption, extended instructions, integer math, multithread, and random string sorting. The largest AMD win is in extended instructions, where AMD scores 21690 versus Intel's 12822, a 40.9% gap. Data compression and encryption show AMD ahead by 29.8% and 29.9% respectively. Random string sorting favors AMD by 25.9%, with scores of 31827 versus 23580. Integer math is closer, with AMD at 85274 versus Intel's 78675, a 7.7% edge. Multithread favors AMD by 13.2%, at 23393 versus 20303.

Intel wins the remaining PassMark tests. The most dramatic is find prime numbers, where Intel scores 97 versus AMD's 54, a 79.6% advantage. This is the largest margin in either direction across all benchmarks. Physics simulation also goes strongly to Intel, with 1466 versus 991, a 47.9% lead. Floating point math favors Intel by 10.7%, at 54105 versus 48863. Single-thread tests show Intel ahead by 12.3%, with 3557 versus 3167. The single-thread result appears twice in the database, confirming the Intel win.

Looking at the average benchmark scores, the two chips are very close overall. Intel's average is 26900, AMD's is 26402. The Intel part ranks at the 79th percentile, AMD at the 78th. In the nearest rival comparisons, Intel's closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, which scores 26936, just 0.1% higher. AMD's closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 8640U at 26462, just 0.2% higher. This means both chips sit in a crowded mid-range mobile market where small performance differences separate the pack.

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS is the stronger compute processor for multithreaded workloads, while the Intel Core i7-1370P holds advantages in specific single-threaded and specialized tests. The Intel chip's integrated graphics and lower TDP make it more flexible for slim laptops without discrete GPUs. The AMD chip's higher power envelope and lack of integrated graphics point it toward gaming or workstation laptops with dedicated graphics. For pure CPU throughput, AMD wins more tests, but Intel's wins in single-thread and floating point math show it is not a one-sided matchup.
