AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D vs Intel Core 5 210H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database does not contain a direct head-to-head benchmark run between the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D and the Intel Core 5 210H. Instead, the available data provides a full Cinebench and Passmark suite for the Intel part, while the AMD processor currently has no benchmark entries in the database. This makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible from the recorded measurements.

What the data does show is the Intel Core 5 210H's performance profile across 17 individual tests. In Cinebench R15, the Intel chip scores 1,757 points in multi-core and 247 points in single-core. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multi-core result jumps to 6,504 points, with single-core at 918. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score reaches 11,830 points, while single-core lands at 1,771.

The Passmark suite for the Intel Core 5 210H reveals its workload-specific strengths. Integer math scores 61,503 points, floating point math reaches 45,057, and extended instructions hit 13,370. Data compression scores 217,805, while data encryption posts 12,187. Random string sorting finishes at 23,451, and find prime numbers returns 53. The multi-thread Passmark score is 18,252, with single-thread at 3,539. Physics simulation scores 1,040.

Since the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D lacks benchmark entries in the database, the head-to-head comparison must rely on architectural and specification-level analysis rather than measured scores. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-13620H with an average score of 24,911 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX at 24,822 with a delta of +0.2%, the Intel Core i7-11850H at 24,935 with a delta of -0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F at 24,964 with a delta of -0.4%. The Core 5 210H's average benchmark score sits at 24,872, placing it essentially on par with these rivals, within a range of -0.4% to +0.2%.

Where Each One Wins

Without direct benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D, the wins analysis must be derived from the specification differences and the Intel part's measured performance against its nearest rivals.

The Intel Core 5 210H wins in raw boost clock capability. Its boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz, which is higher than the AMD part's 4.50 GHz boost. This gives the Intel chip an advantage in lightly threaded workloads that depend on a single core's maximum frequency. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,771 and Passmark single-thread score of 3,539 quantify this strength. The Intel part also wins on platform efficiency in terms of power draw, with a 45 W TDP compared to the AMD chip's 120 W TDP, making it suitable for mobile chassis where thermal and power budgets are constrained.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D wins in cache capacity and thread count. It packs 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is eight times the Intel part's 12 MB shared L3. This large cache benefits workloads with repetitive data access patterns, such as database operations, scientific simulations, and certain game engines. The AMD chip also supports 16 threads versus the Intel chip's 12 threads, giving it a potential advantage in heavily parallelized rendering or compilation tasks. The AMD part's base clock of 4.00 GHz is also significantly higher than the Intel chip's 2.20 GHz base, which helps sustain throughput in all-core workloads where boost clocks cannot be maintained indefinitely.

The memory bandwidth comparison favors AMD as well. The Ryzen 7 7700X3D supports DDR5 with a recorded bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, while the Intel Core 5 210H supports both DDR4 and DDR5 but has no bandwidth figure recorded in the database. ECC memory support is present on the AMD part and absent on the Intel part, which matters for workstation-class error-sensitive workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design generations. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D uses the Raphael codename, belonging to the Ryzen 7 generation built on Zen 4 architecture. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with the die size recorded at 71 mm² and transistor count at 11,270 million. The Intel Core 5 210H uses the Raptor Lake-H codename, belonging to the Core 5 generation built on Raptor Lake architecture (specifically Raptor Lake Refresh). It is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded.

The cache hierarchy differs sharply. The AMD part allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with 96 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core, but only 12 MB of shared L3 cache. This means the Intel chip has more per-core L1 and L2 cache, which helps with localized data, while the AMD chip has a massive L3 advantage for shared data across all cores.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD chip exclusively supports DDR5, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part's memory controller is rated for 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure in the database. ECC memory is supported on AMD and not on Intel.

PCIe connectivity differs by lane count. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel Core 5 210H provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only). This gives the AMD part three times the PCIe lane count for expansion devices, storage controllers, and discrete GPUs.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics with 48 execution units. The database does not include performance scores for either integrated GPU.

Specification Differences

The socket and form factor are the first major difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D uses AMD Socket AM5, designed for desktop motherboards. The Intel Core 5 210H uses Intel BGA 1744, which is a ball-grid array socket soldered to mobile motherboards. This reflects the market segment split: AMD is a Desktop processor, while Intel is a Mobile processor.

Clock speeds differ significantly. The AMD part has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The AMD chip's base clock is 1.80 GHz higher, while the Intel chip's boost clock is 0.30 GHz higher.

Core and thread counts differ. Both have 8 cores, but the AMD part supports 16 threads while the Intel part supports 12 threads. This means the AMD chip uses simultaneous multithreading across all cores, while the Intel chip has 4 fewer threads, indicating a hybrid or limited-thread design in the measured configuration.

Power draw differs substantially. The AMD part has a TDP of 120 W, while the Intel part has a TDP of 45 W. This is a 75 W difference, which has major implications for cooling requirements and battery life in mobile systems.

Process node and foundry differ. AMD uses 5 nm TSMC, while Intel uses 10 nm Intel. The AMD part's transistor count is 11,270 million, while the Intel part's transistor count is not recorded. The die size for AMD is 71 mm², while Intel's is not recorded.

Memory support differs. AMD supports only DDR5, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part has recorded memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, while Intel has no recorded bandwidth. ECC support is present on AMD and absent on Intel.

PCIe lanes differ: AMD provides 24 Gen 5 lanes, Intel provides 8 Gen 5 lanes. The integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon Graphics, Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 48EU. The launch MSRP differs: AMD is $329, Intel is $342. Both processors are locked (multiplier not unlocked) and both are Active in production status.

The release dates differ by about 17 months. The Intel Core 5 210H was released on 2024-12-17, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D was released on 2026-05-30.

The percentile ranking also differs. The Intel Core 5 210H sits at the 77th percentile versus all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 24,872. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, reflecting the absence of benchmark data.
