Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 is built on TSMC’s 7 nm process and uses the Zen 3 architecture (codename Vermeer). It packs 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The chip sits on the AMD Socket AM4 platform and carries a 65 W TDP. Its cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. The processor contains 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die.

The Intel Core i7-13700T uses Intel’s 10 nm process and the Raptor Lake architecture (codename Raptor Lake-S). It offers 16 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 1.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. This chip uses the Intel Socket 1700 and has a much lower 35 W TDP. Cache sizes are larger per core: 80 KB of L1, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3. The die measures 257 mm².

Memory support differs significantly. The AMD chip supports DDR4 only, with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, though no bandwidth figure is listed. AMD includes ECC memory support; Intel does not. For PCIe, AMD offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 20 lanes. The Intel part also includes integrated graphics (UHD Graphics 770), whereas the AMD part has no integrated graphics listed.

The Intel processor has an unlocked multiplier, while the AMD chip does not. The AMD part has a part number (100-000000832), while the Intel part does not list one. The AMD chip launched in April 2022; the Intel chip launched in January 2023. The Intel chip carries a launch MSRP of $384; the AMD chip has no listed launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-13700T dominates in almost every compute-heavy workload. Its multi-core advantage shows in Cinebench R23 (23,248 vs. 22,145) and PassMark multithread (28,211 vs. 26,054). The 16-core, 24-thread configuration gives it a clear edge in parallel rendering, video encoding, and other tasks that scale across cores. The physics test result — 1,769 vs. 1,109, a 37.3% lead — suggests particularly strong performance in simulation and gaming physics workloads.

The Intel chip also wins in floating-point math by a wide margin (73,928 vs. 52,105) and integer math (105,397 vs. 94,884). These results indicate stronger raw arithmetic throughput, which benefits scientific computing, financial modeling, and code compilation. Single-thread performance also favors Intel, with a 9.9% lead in PassMark single-thread (3,821 vs. 3,442) and consistent ~4.8% leads across all Cinebench single-core tests.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 wins in exactly two areas: data encryption and extended instructions. The encryption win (19,815 vs. 19,230) is modest at 3%, but the extended instructions win (21,117 vs. 19,306) is a solid 9.4% advantage. These results suggest the AMD chip handles certain cryptographic operations and SIMD-style instruction sets more efficiently. For users running AES encryption, secure communication workloads, or specific vectorized code paths, the AMD part offers a measurable benefit.

However, the AMD chip’s 8-core, 16-thread design limits its scope. It trails Intel in data compression (314,363 vs. 327,700), random string sorting (33,754 vs. 34,939), and even prime number finding (115 vs. 127). The overall picture is that the Intel part wins across the board except for niche instruction-heavy tasks.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench suite shows a consistent pattern: the Intel Core i7-13700T leads by roughly 4.7–4.8% across every test. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, Intel scores 2,343 versus AMD’s 2,232 (a 4.7% lead). Single-core R15 shows the same margin: 330 vs. 314 (4.8%). R20 multi-core gives Intel 9,764 against AMD’s 9,300 (4.8%), and R20 single-core gives 1,378 vs. 1,312 (4.8%). R23 multi-core narrows slightly to 4.7% (23,248 vs. 22,145), while R23 single-core holds at 4.8% (3,282 vs. 3,126).

PassMark tests reveal where the Intel chip pulls away dramatically. The biggest gap is in physics: Intel’s 1,769 is 37.3% higher than AMD’s 1,109. Floating-point math is nearly as lopsided — Intel’s 73,928 beats AMD’s 52,105 by 29.5%. Integer math follows at a 10% gap (105,397 vs. 94,884). Prime number finding gives Intel a 9.4% edge (127 vs. 115). Multithread performance favors Intel by 7.6% (28,211 vs. 26,054), and single-thread by 9.9% (3,821 vs. 3,442).

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845’s two wins are notable. In data encryption, it scores 19,815 versus Intel’s 19,230 — a 3% advantage. In extended instructions, the margin widens to 9.4% (21,117 vs. 19,306). These wins show that the Zen 3 architecture handles certain instruction-level workloads more efficiently than Raptor Lake.

The remaining benchmarks all favor Intel, though by smaller margins. Data compression gives Intel a 4.1% lead (327,700 vs. 314,363), and random string sorting a 3.4% edge (34,939 vs. 33,754). The overall tally — 15 wins for Intel, 2 for AMD — reflects a processor that is broadly faster in most compute tasks, with the AMD chip only carving out a niche in encryption and extended instruction processing.
