The Verdict

The benchmark data paints a split picture. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G wins 4 of the 6 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, including decisive victories in Cinebench R15 multi-core (37.1% ahead), Cinebench R15 single-core (19.9% ahead), Geekbench multi-core (11.4% ahead), and Geekbench single-core (11.1% ahead). Its average benchmark score of 4,296 also edges out the Intel part’s 4,187.

However, the Intel Core i5-11500H strikes back hard in the more modern Cinebench R23 workloads. It leads by 14.2% in multi-core and by 25% in single-core, posting scores of 14,166 and 1,999 respectively. This suggests the Intel chip has a real advantage in newer rendering workloads that leverage the R23 benchmark’s scaling.

For users prioritizing raw multi-threaded throughput in legacy Cinebench R15 or general Geekbench tasks, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G is the clear choice. Its 8-core/16-thread configuration and higher base clock deliver consistent wins across those tests. The data shows it also offers ECC memory support, a feature absent on the Intel part.

For those running Cinebench R23 specifically, or who value the Intel part’s 10 nm process node and Gen 4 PCIe support with 20 lanes, the Core i5-11500H is compelling. It is a mobile processor with a 35 W TDP, while the AMD chip is a desktop part rated at 65 W. The Intel chip’s higher R23 scores come despite fewer cores, indicating strong per-core efficiency in that workload.

Neither chip is a universal winner. The AMD part is better for mixed workloads and older benchmark suites, while the Intel part excels in the newest Cinebench iteration. The data suggests picking the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G for desktop builds needing ECC and consistent multi-core strength, or the Intel Core i5-11500H for mobile systems where Cinebench R23 performance and PCIe Gen 4 matter more.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest margin in the entire comparison belongs to the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G in Cinebench R15 multi-core. It scores 1,956 against the Intel Core i5-11500H’s 1,427, a 37.1% advantage. That is a massive gap, driven by the AMD part’s two additional cores and four additional threads.

The AMD chip also wins Cinebench R15 single-core by 19.9%, posting 241 versus 201. This is a significant single-threaded lead in that benchmark, showing the Zen 3 architecture’s strength in older rendering tests. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G further extends its lead in Geekbench multi-core with 7,947 versus 7,135, an 11.4% edge, and in Geekbench single-core with 1,976 versus 1,778, an 11.1% margin.

The Intel Core i5-11500H’s biggest win is in Cinebench R23 single-core, where it scores 1,999 versus 1,500 for the AMD part. That is a 25% lead, the second-largest delta in the entire set. This is a stark reversal from the Cinebench R15 single-core result, suggesting the Intel chip’s Tiger Lake architecture scales much better in the newer benchmark.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel part scores 14,166 versus 12,157 for the AMD chip, a 14.2% advantage. This is notable because the Intel processor has only 6 cores and 12 threads, yet it outpaces the 8-core AMD processor in this workload. The Intel chip also has a higher boost clock, matching the AMD part at 4.60 GHz, but with a much lower base clock of 2.40 GHz.

Overall, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G wins 4 benchmarks and the Intel Core i5-11500H wins 2. The AMD part’s wins are more numerous, but the Intel part’s wins are larger in percentage terms. The data shows that the Intel chip is particularly strong in Cinebench R23, while the AMD chip dominates in Geekbench and older Cinebench R15 tests.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ on nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i5-11500H has 6 cores and 12 threads. The AMD part’s base clock is 3.80 GHz, substantially higher than the Intel part’s 2.40 GHz, though both boost to 4.60 GHz.

The AMD chip is a desktop processor with a 65 W TDP, using the AMD Socket AM4. The Intel chip is a mobile processor with a 35 W TDP, using the Intel BGA 1787 socket. This fundamentally differentiates their intended use cases: the AMD part targets desktop systems, while the Intel part targets laptops and mobile workstations.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G has a 16 MB L3 cache, while the Intel Core i5-11500H has a 12 MB shared L3 cache. The per-core L1 cache also differs: the AMD part has 64 KB per core, while the Intel part has 80 KB per core. The L2 cache is 512 KB per core on the AMD chip versus 1.25 MB per core on the Intel chip.

Memory support is identical in type (DDR4), bus width (dual-channel), and bandwidth (51.2 GB/s). However, the AMD part supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. The PCIe capabilities differ significantly: the AMD part offers Gen 3 with 16 lanes, while the Intel part offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G features Radeon Vega 8 graphics, while the Intel Core i5-11500H features UHD Graphics 750. The AMD part also has a different part number (100-000000254) compared to the Intel part (SRKT2).

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G is built on TSMC’s 7 nm process node, while the Intel Core i5-11500H uses Intel’s 10 nm process. The AMD chip has 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die, whereas the Intel chip’s transistor count is not listed in the data, but its die size is 190 mm².

The AMD part uses the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, and belongs to the Ryzen 7 generation. The Intel part uses the Tiger Lake architecture, specifically Tiger Lake-H, and belongs to the Core 11th Gen family. These are fundamentally different designs: Zen 3 is a mature desktop architecture, while Tiger Lake-H is a mobile-focused design.

The cache architectures differ structurally. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G has 16 MB of L3 cache, and its L1 and L2 caches are organized per core (64 KB and 512 KB respectively). The Intel Core i5-11500H has 12 MB of shared L3 cache, with larger per-core L1 (80 KB) and L2 (1.25 MB) caches.

The AMD part’s process node advantage (7 nm versus 10 nm) contributes to its higher transistor count and smaller die size. The Intel part’s larger die size at 190 mm² suggests a more complex physical layout, despite having fewer cores. The foundry also differs: TSMC fabricates the AMD chip, while Intel fabricates its own.

Both processors are locked, with no unlocked multiplier. The AMD part was released on 2021-05-31, while the Intel part was released on 2021-05-10, just three weeks earlier. Both remain in active production. The AMD part’s market segment is Desktop, while the Intel part’s is Mobile, which aligns with their respective sockets and TDP ratings.

The Intel Core i5-11500H’s PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes is a significant architectural advantage over the AMD part’s PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes. This allows for faster data transfer to compatible devices, though the AMD part’s ECC memory support may be more critical for certain professional workloads.
