AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Core i7-13700KF Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data presents a decisive outcome: the Intel Core i7-13700KF wins every single head-to-head test against the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, with 11 wins out of 11 comparisons. The AMD processor does not claim victory in any recorded benchmark. The average benchmark scores reinforce this hierarchy, with the Intel part averaging 47,330 points versus 49,196 for the AMD, though this aggregate metric is somewhat misleading given the Intel chip's comprehensive sweep of individual tests.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is a 65-watt, 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 part built on TSMC's 7 nm process, while the Core i7-13700KF is a 125-watt, 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake processor on Intel's 10 nm node. These are fundamentally different market positions. The database shows the Intel chip delivering anywhere from 22.4% to 68.8% higher scores depending on the workload. Users who need maximum throughput in multi-threaded applications should choose the Intel Core i7-13700KF without hesitation. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, however, remains a valid choice for systems where the integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, lower 65-watt TDP, and AM4 platform compatibility matter more than raw performance. The Intel part has no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is mandatory.

The Intel chip also holds a notable advantage in its nearest rival comparisons. It sits within 0.3% of the Intel Core Ultra X9 378H and leads the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 by 0.4%. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, by contrast, is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (0.1% behind) and the Intel Core i5-14600KF (0.4% behind). This suggests the AMD part punches at the level of mid-range competitors, while the Intel chip, despite its lower average score, dominates the specific workload set recorded here.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-13700KF wins everywhere in the recorded data. There is no benchmark category where the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G comes out ahead. The largest Intel victories come in prime number finding and physics simulations, workloads that scale heavily with core count and thread count. The Intel part's 16 cores and 24 threads versus the AMD's 8 cores and 16 threads explain these substantial margins.

For single-threaded performance, the Intel chip leads by 22.4% in the PassMark single-thread test (4,336 versus 3,366). This is a meaningful gap for applications that rely on per-core speed, such as legacy software, lightly threaded games, and everyday desktop responsiveness. The Intel boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus the AMD's 4.60 GHz is the likely driver, though the architectural differences also contribute.

In data compression, the Intel chip scores 596,493 against the AMD's 295,730, a 50.4% advantage. This workload benefits from the Intel part's larger 30 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache, compared to the AMD's 16 MB L3 and 512 KB per-core L2. For integer math, the Intel chip leads 154,507 to 90,270 (41.6% ahead), and for floating-point math it leads 114,997 to 50,778 (55.8% ahead). These are the workloads where the core count disparity becomes most visible.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G does have one structural advantage that the benchmarks do not capture: its integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics. The Intel Core i7-13700KF has no integrated graphics at all. In a system without a discrete GPU, the AMD part is the only one that can produce a display output. The AMD chip also supports DDR4 memory only, which can be a cost and compatibility benefit on mature AM4 platforms, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G uses TSMC's 7 nm process and packs 10,700 million transistors into a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-13700KF uses Intel's 10 nm process with a 257 mm² die size. The Intel die is larger and uses an older process node, yet delivers higher performance across the board.

The core configurations differ sharply. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, all based on the Zen 3 architecture with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel part has 16 cores and 24 threads on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Intel chip combines performance and efficiency cores, which the database records as a single 16-core, 24-thread configuration.

Cache hierarchies reflect the different design philosophies. The AMD part allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has nearly double the L3 capacity, which helps in data-heavy workloads like compression and sorting.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G supports DDR4 in dual-channel mode with a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and no ECC support. The Intel Core i7-13700KF supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, includes ECC memory support, and has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. The Intel chip also offers PCIe Gen 5 with 20 CPU lanes, while the AMD part is limited to PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes.

The Intel part is multiplier unlocked, enabling overclocking, and has a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part is not multiplier unlocked and has no recorded launch MSRP. The AMD chip includes Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, while the Intel chip has none. The AMD part is a mobile-derived design from the Cezanne line, while the Intel part is a desktop Raptor Lake-S chip. Both are listed as Active in production status.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most lopsided result in the head-to-head data is the PassMark find prime numbers test. The Intel Core i7-13700KF scores 186, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G scores just 58, a 68.8% deficit. Prime number finding is a highly parallel integer workload, and the Intel chip's 16 cores and 24 threads overwhelm the AMD's 8 cores and 16 threads. This is the single largest margin in the entire comparison.

The physics simulation benchmark shows a similar pattern. The Intel chip scores 2,650 against the AMD's 1,022, a 61.4% advantage. Physics calculations in PassMark scale aggressively with thread count, so the Intel chip's core advantage translates directly into a dominant score. For users running physics-based simulations or game physics, this gap is substantial.

Floating-point math also heavily favors the Intel chip. The Intel score of 114,997 is 55.8% higher than the AMD's 50,778. This workload exercises the FPUs across all cores, and the Intel chip's additional cores deliver a commensurate performance boost. The data compression test shows a 50.4% Intel advantage (596,493 versus 295,730), and random string sorting shows a 47.8% gap (62,726 versus 32,771). Both tasks benefit from the Intel chip's larger cache pool and higher thread count.

The PassMark multithread score of 45,817 versus 23,858 represents a 47.9% Intel lead. This is the aggregate multi-threaded metric that many users reference first. The extended instructions test shows a 44.2% gap (36,700 versus 20,487), while data encryption shows a 41.6% gap (33,314 versus 19,450). Integer math also lands at a 41.6% differential (154,507 versus 90,270). These consistent 40% to 50% margins across diverse workloads indicate a systemic throughput advantage rather than a workload-specific quirk.

The smallest gap, but still a decisive Intel win, comes in the single-thread tests. The Intel chip scores 4,336 in PassMark single-thread versus the AMD's 3,366, a 22.4% advantage. This is the only head-to-head where the margin drops below 40%. The Intel boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus 4.60 GHz on the AMD part contributes to this result, but the architectural efficiency of Raptor Lake's high-frequency cores also plays a role. For users who need maximum single-core responsiveness, the Intel chip remains the clear choice. The AMD part's 3.80 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock leave it behind in every recorded metric, and the database shows no test where the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G narrows the gap to a competitive level.
