Architecture Differences

The Intel Core i7-12700TE is built on Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm². It uses a hybrid design with 12 cores and 20 threads, featuring an 80 KB L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 25 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770. The chip is not multiplier unlocked and uses Intel Socket 1700.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G uses Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process with a die size of 180 mm² and 10,700 million transistors. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a 64 KB L1 cache per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. It supports only DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 8. The chip supports ECC memory and uses AMD Socket AM4. It was released on 2021-05-31.

The core-count gap is the most striking architectural difference: Intel's 12-core hybrid configuration versus AMD's 8-core monolithic design. The Intel chip's larger L3 cache (25 MB versus 16 MB) and newer PCIe generation (Gen 5 versus Gen 3) reflect its newer platform generation. The AMD chip's smaller die size (180 mm² versus 215 mm²) and more advanced 7 nm process node from TSMC suggest higher transistor density. Both chips run at the same 4.60 GHz boost clock, though the AMD part starts with a much higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus Intel's 1.40 GHz.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split based on workload priority. For users who need maximum multi-threaded rendering performance in modern benchmarks, the Intel Core i7-12700TE is the stronger choice. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15745 beats the AMD's 12157 by 29.5%, and its single-core R23 score of 2222 beats the AMD's 1500 by 48.1%. This is a substantial lead in the most recent Cinebench version tested.

However, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G wins in Geekbench tests, both single-core (1976 versus 1567, a 20.7% advantage) and multi-core (7947 versus 7217, a 9.2% advantage). It also leads in older Cinebench R15 workloads, both multi-core (1956 versus 1586, an 18.9% lead) and single-core (241 versus 223, a 7.5% lead). The AMD chip also offers ECC memory support, which Intel lacks.

For builders prioritizing low power consumption, the Intel chip's 35 W TDP versus AMD's 65 W TDP is a decisive factor. The Intel part draws roughly half the power budget while delivering competitive or better performance in several modern benchmarks. For builders requiring ECC memory or working with software that favors Geekbench-style workloads, the AMD chip is the appropriate pick.

The Intel Core i7-12700TE's launch MSRP is $344. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G has no launch MSRP recorded in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head comparison covers six benchmark tests across two major benchmarking suites. The results are split, with AMD winning four tests and Intel winning two.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel Core i7-12700TE dominates. The multi-core score of 15745 versus 12157 gives Intel a 29.5% lead. The single-core score of 2222 versus 1500 gives Intel a 48.1% lead. These are the two largest margins in the entire comparison. The R23 multi-core result is particularly notable given the Intel chip's much lower TDP of 35 W versus AMD's 65 W, suggesting excellent power efficiency for this workload.

In Cinebench R15, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G takes both tests. The multi-core score of 1956 versus 1586 gives AMD an 18.9% lead. The single-core score of 241 versus 223 gives AMD a 7.5% lead. The R15 multi-core result is interesting because it reverses the R23 outcome, indicating that the older benchmark favors AMD's architecture while the newer one favors Intel's hybrid design.

In Geekbench, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G wins both tests. The single-core score of 1976 versus 1567 gives AMD a 20.7% lead. The multi-core score of 7947 versus 7217 gives AMD a 9.2% lead. Geekbench's workloads appear to align well with AMD's Zen 3 architecture, producing consistent wins across both single and multi-threaded portions.

The average benchmark score for the Intel chip is 4513, placing it at the 58th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-1250P at 4515 (0% delta), AMD Ryzen Embedded V2748 at 4532 (-0.4% delta), Intel Core i5-1340P at 4545 (-0.7% delta), and Intel Core i7-10700KF at 4547 (-0.7% delta). The AMD chip has an average benchmark score of 4296, also at the 58th percentile. Its nearest rivals include Intel Xeon E5-4669 v3 at 4285 (0.3% delta), Intel Xeon W-2140B at 4272 (0.6% delta), Intel Core i7-7820X at 4321 (-0.6% delta), and Intel Core i7-1265U at 4248 (1.1% delta). Both processors occupy the same percentile rank, but the Intel chip has a higher average score by 217 points.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-12700TE wins in modern rendering workloads. Its Cinebench R23 performance, both single-core and multi-core, is decisively ahead of the AMD chip. The 48.1% single-core lead and 29.5% multi-core lead suggest that software built around recent Cinebench versions will see substantial benefits from the Intel chip. The lower 35 W TDP also makes it the clear choice for power-constrained builds, especially small-form-factor systems or always-on machines where thermal management is critical. The Intel chip also offers DDR5 memory support and PCIe Gen 5, which may matter for future upgradeability.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G wins in Geekbench workloads, both single-core and multi-core, and in Cinebench R15. The 20.7% Geekbench single-core lead and 9.2% multi-core lead indicate that this chip handles general-purpose desktop tasks with more agility. The R15 wins, including an 18.9% multi-core margin, suggest that legacy applications and older rendering pipelines will perform better on AMD. The ECC memory support is a significant advantage for workstation users who need data integrity. The AMD chip's 65 W TDP, while higher than Intel's, still qualifies as a mainstream desktop power envelope, and the higher 3.80 GHz base clock may translate to snappier responsiveness in lightly threaded tasks that do not boost.

For builders who run a mix of modern rendering software and general productivity, the Intel chip's R23 dominance and lower power draw make it the more compelling option. For builders who rely on Geekbench-style workloads, older rendering applications, or require ECC memory, the AMD chip is the safer choice. The database shows a 4-2 win split in favor of AMD, but the magnitude of Intel's R23 wins (48.1% and 29.5%) is larger than any of AMD's margins except the 20.7% Geekbench single-core result. The final decision should weigh the specific software environment and power constraints of the build.
