AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS vs Intel Core 7 253PQE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data is unusually one-sided. Across all 15 head-to-head comparisons, the Intel Core 7 253PQE wins every single test. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS does not secure a single victory in any measured workload category. This is not a case of each processor dominating in different scenarios; the Intel part leads in every recorded metric, from single-threaded rendering to multi-threaded compression.

The Intel Core 7 253PQE shows its largest advantages in multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 31,390 against the AMD part's 14,784, a delta of -52.9% from the AMD perspective. The gap is similarly wide in floating-point math, where Intel scores 105,279 versus 55,739, and in prime number finding, where Intel scores 206 versus 84. These are workloads that scale with core count and thread count, and the Intel part has more of both.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is closest to the Intel part in single-threaded PassMark tests. The Intel Core 7 253PQE scores 4,389 in PassMark single-thread, while the AMD part scores 3,692, a delta of -15.9%. That is the narrowest margin in the entire dataset. Still, it is a loss for AMD, not a category where the Ryzen part takes the lead.

The Intel part also leads in memory-adjacent and data-heavy operations. Data compression shows Intel at 487,335 against AMD's 311,199, a -36.1% delta. Random string sorting shows Intel at 54,222 versus 37,922, a -30.1% delta. Data encryption shows Intel at 25,515 versus 18,838, a -26.2% delta. The Intel part wins across the board, with no workload category belonging to the AMD processor.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear hierarchy. The Intel Core 7 253PQE sits in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS sits in the 87th percentile. The Intel part's average benchmark score is 55,919, compared to the AMD part's 39,603. The Intel processor is the stronger performer in every recorded test.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is a mobile processor from the 8000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture with a 28 W TDP. The Intel Core 7 253PQE is a desktop processor from the Bartlett Lake family with a 125 W TDP. The power envelope difference is substantial, and it shows in the results. The Intel part is not a mobile chip competing in the same thermal class; it is a desktop processor with a much higher power budget.

The AMD processor's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 at 0.3% higher average score, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D at -0.4%, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS at 0.7%, and the AMD EPYC 4245P at 1%. The Intel processor's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-14900HX at -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 at -0.6%, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 at -0.7%, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX at -1.1%. The Intel part is competing in a higher performance tier entirely.

For a user prioritizing multi-threaded throughput, physics simulation, floating-point math, or data compression, the Intel Core 7 253PQE is the clear choice based on the recorded data. For a user constrained to a mobile platform with a 28 W power envelope, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is the only one of the two that fits that class, but its performance is markedly lower in every benchmark. The data does not support any scenario where the AMD part wins a measured test.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single margin is in Cinebench R23 single-core. The Intel Core 7 253PQE scores 4,431, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS scores 1,724. That is a -61.1% delta for the AMD part. The Intel part more than doubles the AMD score in this test. Cinebench R23 multi-core shows a similar pattern: Intel at 31,390, AMD at 14,784, a -52.9% delta.

Cinebench R15 results follow the same direction. In multi-core, Intel scores 3,163 against AMD's 2,458, a -22.3% delta. In single-core, Intel scores 446 against AMD's 271.5, a -39.1% delta. The single-core gap in R15 is larger in percentage terms than the multi-core gap in R15, indicating the Intel part's per-core advantage is substantial.

PassMark physics is another large gap. Intel scores 2,970, AMD scores 1,351, a -54.5% delta. Floating-point math shows Intel at 105,279 versus AMD at 55,739, a -47.1% delta. Prime number finding shows Intel at 206 versus AMD at 84, a -59.2% delta. These three tests are compute-heavy and benefit from the Intel part's higher core count, thread count, and boost clock.

The narrowest margin is PassMark single-thread, where Intel scores 4,389 and AMD scores 3,692, a -15.9% delta. The same margin appears in the duplicate PassMark single-thread entry. Even in the AMD part's best relative showing, it still trails by nearly 16%.

Data compression shows Intel at 487,335 versus AMD at 311,199, a -36.1% delta. Extended instructions show Intel at 32,390 versus AMD at 22,298, a -31.2% delta. Integer math shows Intel at 137,795 versus AMD at 93,342, a -32.3% delta. Multithread shows Intel at 41,656 versus AMD at 26,646, a -36% delta. Data encryption shows Intel at 25,515 versus AMD at 18,838, a -26.2% delta. Random string sorting shows Intel at 54,222 versus AMD at 37,922, a -30.1% delta.

All 15 head-to-head tests are listed in the database, and all 15 favor the Intel Core 7 253PQE. The win count is 15 for Intel, 0 for AMD.
