AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D vs Intel Core 7 240H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records benchmark results for the Intel Core 7 240H across multiple Cinebench and Passmark tests, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D has no recorded benchmark scores. This asymmetry means the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the Intel processor's measured performance data.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel Core 7 240H delivers a multicore score of 15764 and a singlecore score of 1719. The Cinebench R20 results show 8562 multicore and 1208 singlecore, while Cinebench R15 records 2360 multicore and 249 singlecore. These scores establish the Intel chip's performance envelope across three generations of the Cinebench suite.

Passmark results for the Intel Core 7 240H show a multithread score of 23975 and a single thread score of 3782. The integer math test records 80396, while floating point math reaches 58905. Data compression scores 271774, data encryption reaches 15155, and extended instructions score 16897. The find prime numbers test records 102, random string sorting scores 28866, and physics reaches 1723.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D has an average benchmark score of 0 in the database, with a percentile ranking of 50 among all CPUs. The Intel Core 7 240H ranks at the 82nd percentile with an average benchmark score of 31483. The percentile gap of 32 points reflects the absence of recorded benchmark data for the AMD part rather than a direct performance comparison.

The Intel Core 7 240H's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 with an average score of 31473 and a delta of 0 percent, the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX at 31495 with a 0 percent delta, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H at 31508 with a -0.1 percent delta, and the Intel Core i5-13500 at 31510 with a -0.1 percent delta. The Intel Core 7 240H sits within 0.1 percent of all four rivals, indicating near-identical average performance despite architectural differences.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Raphael codename, based on Zen 4 architecture. It contains 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The processor is manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 11,270 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. The thermal design power is 120 watts, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5.

The Intel Core 7 240H uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-H codename, representing the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It contains 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The processor is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel, and its thermal design power is 45 watts. It uses the Intel BGA 1744 socket.

Cache configurations differ substantially between the two processors. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD processor's shared L3 cache is four times larger than the Intel processor's, which favors workloads that benefit from large cache footprints.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D supports DDR5 memory only, with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, along with ECC memory support. The Intel Core 7 240H supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also in dual-channel configuration, but the database does not record its memory bandwidth and it does not support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity shows a clear difference. The AMD processor provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics 64EU.

The market segments and release dates distinguish these products. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D is a desktop processor released on 2026-05-30 with a launch MSRP of $329. The Intel Core 7 240H is a mobile processor released on 2024-12-17 with a launch MSRP of $502. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part uses part number 100-000002235, while the Intel part uses SRQ6TQ5ML.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 240H demonstrates measurable wins across all recorded benchmark categories. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15764 and singlecore score of 1719 represent the highest recorded results among the three Cinebench versions in the database. The Cinebench R20 multicore score of 8562 and singlecore score of 1208, along with the Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2360 and singlecore score of 249, complete the picture of consistent performance across rendering workloads.

Passmark results show the Intel processor's strengths in specific computational tasks. The integer math score of 80396 and floating point math score of 58905 indicate strong arithmetic throughput. Data compression at 271774 and random string sorting at 28866 point to solid memory and data manipulation capabilities. Data encryption at 15155 and extended instructions at 16897 demonstrate reasonable cryptographic and SIMD performance. The find prime numbers score of 102 and physics score of 1723 round out the Passmark suite.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so no direct wins can be established from measurements. However, architectural characteristics provide qualitative context: the 96 MB shared L3 cache, the higher 120 watt TDP, the desktop market segment, and the 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes suggest different design priorities than the Intel mobile processor.

The Intel Core 7 240H's 45 watt TDP targets mobile systems, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D's 120 watt TDP targets desktop systems. The AMD processor's higher TDP and larger cache align with sustained desktop workloads, but without benchmark data, these remain architectural observations rather than measured advantages.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows the Intel Core 7 240H as the only processor with benchmark measurements in this comparison. Its average benchmark score of 31483 places it at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, with nearest rivals all within 0.1 percent of its score. The Intel Core Ultra 3 205 matches it at 0 percent delta, the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX matches it at 0 percent delta, and both the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H and Intel Core i5-13500 trail by 0.1 percent.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D has an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile ranking, reflecting the absence of recorded measurements rather than a performance verdict. The database cannot establish a comparative performance position for this processor without benchmark data.

For users selecting between these processors, the data supports the Intel Core 7 240H as the measured performer, with verified scores across Cinebench and Passmark suites. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D offers architectural features such as a larger L3 cache and higher TDP, but the database contains no benchmark results to confirm their impact.

The Intel Core 7 240H's 82nd percentile ranking and near-identical scores to its closest rivals indicate consistent mid-to-high-range placement among all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D's 50th percentile ranking, based on no recorded benchmarks, places it at the median position by default rather than by demonstrated performance.
