AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE vs Intel Core i9-13900H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head results in the database paint a clear picture of two very different processors. The Intel Core i9-13900H takes the majority of wins, 15 out of 17 recorded benchmarks, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE secures only 2 wins. However, the nature of those wins and the margins involved tell a more nuanced story than the win count alone.

The most striking Intel victories come in multi-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the Intel part scores 2666.5 against AMD's 1789, a 32.9% advantage. The gap persists in Cinebench R20 multicore, where Intel leads 9676 to 7458, a 22.9% margin. PassMark multithread results follow the same pattern, with Intel at 27673 versus 20870, a 24.6% lead. The Intel chip also dominates in PassMark physics, scoring 1745 against 841, a massive 51.8% difference, and in PassMark find prime numbers, where it doubles AMD's output at 104 versus 50, a 51.9% delta.

The Intel advantage extends to memory and compression tasks. In PassMark data compression, Intel scores 326425 against 252937, a 22.5% lead. Floating point math shows a 33.1% gap, with Intel at 69611 and AMD at 46589. Even in integer math, which is often closer between architectures, Intel leads 97159 to 84004, a 13.5% margin. Random string sorting goes Intel's way by 23.2%, and extended instructions favor Intel by 11.9%. Data encryption sees a narrower 10.7% gap, with Intel scoring 18974 against AMD's 16937.

Single-threaded results are more mixed. In Cinebench R15 singlecore, Intel leads 279 to 252, a 9.7% margin. Cinebench R20 singlecore shows a 22.9% gap, Intel at 1365 versus AMD at 1052. PassMark single thread also favors Intel, 3754 to 3353, a 10.7% delta.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE wins both of its victories in Cinebench R23. In multicore, AMD scores 17759 against Intel's 17471, a slim 1.6% lead. The singlecore result is far more decisive: AMD scores 2507 against Intel's 1964.5, a 27.6% advantage. That R23 singlecore win is the largest percentage margin in either direction for single-threaded performance, and it reveals a notable reversal from the older Cinebench versions.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is built on Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, using TSMC's 7 nm process. The Intel Core i9-13900H uses Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-H, on Intel's 10 nm process. The AMD chip packs 8 cores and 16 threads, while Intel fields 14 cores and 20 threads, a hybrid arrangement that the database records without further breakdown.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. Intel offers 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 on the Intel part likely contributes to its strong showing in data-heavy workloads like compression and random string sorting.

Clock speeds show Intel's aggressive approach. The Intel chip has a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. AMD counters with a 3.20 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost. Despite the lower boost ceiling, the AMD part achieves its R23 singlecore victory, suggesting architectural efficiency matters as much as raw frequency.

Power envelopes differ, with AMD rated at 35 W TDP and Intel at 45 W TDP. The AMD processor targets the desktop segment on Socket AM4, while Intel is a mobile part on BGA 1744. Memory support diverges as well: AMD supports DDR4 only, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, though the database records AMD's memory bandwidth at 51.2 GB/s and leaves Intel's unlisted.

PCIe connectivity favors Intel on generation but AMD on lane count. Intel offers PCIe Gen 5 with 8 lanes, while AMD provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. Neither chip supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $617. The AMD part's launch MSRP is not recorded in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-13900H is the clear choice for most compute-heavy tasks. Its wins span Cinebench R15 and R20 in both single and multicore, plus the entire PassMark suite except where noted. The 32.9% lead in R15 multicore and 22.9% lead in R20 multicore suggest strong sustained multi-threaded performance. The 51.8% physics advantage and 51.9% prime number advantage indicate raw computational throughput that AMD cannot match. For workloads involving data compression, floating point math, integer math, encryption, or sorting, Intel holds a consistent edge ranging from 10.7% to 33.1%.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE wins in Cinebench R23, both singlecore and multicore. The singlecore margin of 27.6% is the standout result, showing that in the most recent Cinebench version, AMD's Zen 3 architecture delivers superior single-threaded performance despite a lower boost clock. The multicore win, while narrow at 1.6%, still puts AMD ahead in that specific benchmark. Users running Cinebench R23 as part of their workflow would see better results on the AMD chip.

The database also shows that AMD's average benchmark score, 29656, sits higher than Intel's 28886, despite Intel winning more head-to-head tests. This discrepancy reflects the weighting of the average score calculation, which includes benchmarks not present in the head-to-head comparison. Both processors rank at the 81st percentile overall, placing them in the same performance tier.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward split. The Intel Core i9-13900H should be the pick for users prioritizing maximum throughput in multi-threaded, math-heavy, and data-intensive workloads. Its 15 head-to-head wins include the largest margins in the comparison, and its 45 W TDP reflects a willingness to trade power for performance. The 14-core, 20-thread configuration, combined with 24 MB of shared L3 cache, gives it a structural advantage in parallel tasks.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the better option for single-threaded performance in the most recent Cinebench release. Its 27.6% R23 singlecore victory is the single biggest percentage win in the entire comparison. The 35 W TDP and 8-core, 16-thread layout make it a more power-conscious desktop part, and its higher average benchmark score of 29656 suggests well-rounded capability across a broader benchmark set.

For Cinebench R23 users specifically, AMD wins both tests. For everything else in the recorded data, Intel dominates. The 81st percentile ranking for both chips confirms they occupy the same competitive tier, but the distribution of wins makes the choice workload-dependent. Pick Intel for general compute, pick AMD for R23-centric workflows and efficiency.
