AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Core Ultra 5 336H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a clear and decisive overall victory for the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H. It wins 9 of the 11 recorded comparisons, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G takes only 2. The Intel part does not merely win; in several tests, it wins by a substantial margin, while the AMD chip's victories are narrow.

The largest single win for the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is in the `passmark_find_prime_numbers` test. The Intel chip scores 299 against the AMD's 58, a delta of -80.6% from the AMD's perspective, meaning the Intel part is more than five times faster in this workload. This is an enormous gap and indicates a fundamental advantage in this specific type of integer workload.

The Intel chip also shows a dominant lead in `passmark_physics`, scoring 2682 against 1022, a delta of -61.9%. This suggests a significant advantage in physics calculations, a workload that often scales with core count and architecture efficiency. The `passmark_floating_point_math` test shows a similar pattern, with Intel scoring 82415 versus AMD's 50778, a delta of -38.4%. This is a large margin in a classic compute-heavy task.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H also wins the `passmark_multithread` test, scoring 28545 against 23858, a delta of -16.4%. In the `passmark_single_thread` test, it scores 4013 versus 3366, a delta of -16.1%. Both of these are significant, consistent advantages. The Intel chip also leads in `passmark_extended_instructions` (24542 vs 20487, delta -16.5%), `passmark_data_encryption` (21291 vs 19450, delta -8.6%), and `passmark_random_string_sorting` (34402 vs 32771, delta -4.7%).

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G secures its two wins in specific integer operations. Its victory in `passmark_integer_math` is substantial: it scores 90270 against Intel's 62070, a delta of 45.4% in AMD's favor. This is a major win and shows the AMD architecture is highly efficient in this particular workload. The AMD chip also wins `passmark_data_compression`, scoring 295730 versus 280340, a delta of 5.5%. While this is a win, the margin is relatively small compared to the Intel victories.

In the overall average benchmark score, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G posts an `avgBenchmarkScore` of 49196, which places it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has an `avgBenchmarkScore` of 34485, placing it in the 84th percentile. This is a notable discrepancy. The AMD chip's average is dragged up by its massive score in `passmark_integer_math` and `passmark_data_compression`, while the Intel chip's average is pulled down by its lower score in `passmark_integer_math`, despite its wins in most other categories. The data indicates that the Intel chip is more consistently fast across a broad range of tasks, while the AMD chip is a specialist with extreme performance in select areas.

Where Each One Wins

The data splits the use cases clearly. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is the general-purpose performer. It wins the `passmark_multithread` test, which is often a proxy for overall heavy productivity. Its wins in `passmark_physics`, `passmark_floating_point_math`, and `passmark_extended_instructions` point to strengths in scientific computing, simulation, and code that uses advanced instruction sets. The `passmark_single_thread` win indicates better responsiveness in lightly threaded applications. Its win in `passmark_data_encryption` shows an edge in security-related tasks. The massive lead in `passmark_find_prime_numbers` suggests a strong performance in cryptographic and number-theoretic workloads.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is the specialist in raw integer throughput. Its 45.4% lead in `passmark_integer_math` is the single most dominant margin in the entire comparison. This indicates a clear advantage in workloads that are heavily integer-bound, such as database operations, financial modeling, and certain types of scientific simulations. Its win in `passmark_data_compression` suggests it is also capable in archiving and storage-related tasks.

For a user running a mix of applications, the Intel chip is the safer choice. For a user whose primary workload is integer math or data compression, the AMD chip offers a specific, measurable advantage that the Intel chip cannot match. The Intel chip's scores are more balanced, while the AMD chip's profile is more peaked.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ significantly in their core and thread configurations. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has 16 cores and 16 threads. This means the Intel chip has twice as many physical cores but the same number of threads.

The base clock speeds are very different. The AMD chip has a base clock of 3.80 GHz, while the Intel chip has a base clock of 1.90 GHz. However, both chips have an identical boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The thermal design power (TDP) also differs substantially. The AMD chip has a TDP of 65 watts, while the Intel chip has a TDP of 25 watts.

The memory support is different. The AMD chip supports DDR4 memory, while the Intel chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory. The maximum memory bandwidth reflects this, with the AMD chip listed at 51.2 GB/s and the Intel chip at 115.2 GB/s. The PCIe support also differs, with the AMD chip using Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only), and the Intel chip using Gen 5 with 12 lanes (CPU only).

The market segments differ, with the AMD chip classified as Desktop and the Intel chip as Mobile. The socket types are not interchangeable: the AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM4, and the Intel chip uses Intel BGA 2540. The release dates are also distinct, with the AMD chip listed as 2024-09-04 and the Intel chip as 2026-01-04.

Architecture Differences

The architectural differences are foundational. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is based on the Zen 3 architecture with the codename Cezanne, belonging to the 5000 series. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is based on the Panther Lake architecture, from the Core Ultra Series 3.

The manufacturing process nodes differ. The AMD chip is built on a 7 nm process by TSMC. The Intel chip is built on a 3 nm process by Intel. The cache layouts are also different. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache.

The integrated graphics differ. The AMD chip uses Radeon Vega 8 graphics. The Intel chip uses Intel Xe3 Graphics. The AMD chip has a listed transistor count of 10,700 million and a die size of 180 mm²; these figures are not recorded for the Intel chip. Neither chip supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The benchmark data leads to a direct conclusion. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is the faster processor in the majority of tested workloads. It wins the multithread, single-thread, physics, floating-point math, extended instructions, encryption, prime number finding, and random string sorting tests. This broad dominance makes it the stronger choice for general-purpose computing, heavy productivity, and tasks that rely on floating-point calculations or modern instruction sets.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is the faster processor in integer math and data compression. Its 45.4% lead in `passmark_integer_math` is the largest margin in the entire comparison. This makes it the superior choice for workloads that are exclusively or primarily integer-bound, where its specific architectural strength can be fully utilized.

The data shows the Intel chip is more consistent and more powerful across a wider range of tasks. The AMD chip is a specialist with a distinct, but narrower, set of advantages. A system builder selecting a processor for a diverse workload should prioritize the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H based on its 9 benchmark wins. A user with a workload dominated by integer operations should consider the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, despite its lower TDP and older process node. The Intel chip's higher average score in the 84th percentile versus the AMD's 90th percentile is a result of the AMD's extreme scores in its two winning tests, but the Intel chip's performance is more uniform and broadly applicable.
