AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Intel Core 5 213PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a clear overall winner in the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS, which takes 12 of the 17 head-to-head benchmark comparisons. The Intel Core 5 213PE manages five wins, but the margins in those victories are generally smaller than the AMD processor's advantages in its strongest tests.

Starting with the Cinebench suite, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS leads in every single test. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD scores 2476 against Intel's 2264, a 9.4% advantage. The single-core R15 result shows the same 9.4% delta, with AMD at 349 and Intel at 319. Moving to Cinebench R20, the AMD chip delivers 10317 multicore and 1456 single-core, versus 9436 and 1332 for Intel, again a 9.3% margin in both. Cinebench R23 follows the identical pattern: AMD scores 24565 multicore and 3468 single-core, while Intel manages 22468 and 3172, a 9.3% delta in each case. These consistent margins across three Cinebench versions indicate a stable performance advantage in both lightly threaded and fully threaded rendering workloads.

In the Passmark suite, AMD dominates several tests. The largest single margin in the entire comparison is in random string sorting, where AMD scores 41867 against Intel's 32027, a 30.7% lead. Extended instructions also show a substantial gap: AMD at 25434 versus Intel at 19565, a 30% advantage. Data encryption provides another major win for AMD, scoring 20487 against 15916, a 28.7% delta. Data compression favors AMD as well, with 343952 versus 298804, a 15.1% margin. The multithread test goes to AMD at 28572 versus 26434, an 8.1% lead, and integer math shows AMD ahead at 97625 versus 92089, a 6% advantage.

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins the remaining tests, and its strongest result comes in find prime numbers, where it scores 114 against AMD's 87, a 23.7% margin. Floating point math also favors Intel: 68587 versus 58965, a 14% lead. The physics test shows Intel at 1624 against AMD's 1389, a 14.5% margin. In single-threaded Passmark tests, Intel scores 4060 versus AMD's 3762, a 7.3% advantage in both the single_thread and singlethread entries.

The average benchmark score tells a similar story. AMD's average across all recorded tests is 39325, while Intel's is 35428. That places AMD at the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with Intel at the 85th percentile. The nearest rival data confirms the competitive positioning: AMD sits within 0.7% of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS and 0.8% of the Intel Core i7-13700F, while Intel sits within 0.4% of the Intel Core i7-12700K.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark results split cleanly by workload type. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS dominates compression, encryption, extended instruction workloads, random string sorting, integer math, and the full Cinebench rendering suite. These are the workloads that benefit from high memory bandwidth and efficient multithreading. The 15.1% lead in data compression and the 30.7% lead in random string sorting indicate that the AMD processor handles data movement and reorganization tasks with notably greater efficiency.

The Intel Core 5 213PE shows strength in floating point math, physics simulations, prime number calculation, and raw single-threaded Passmark scores. The 14% lead in floating point math and the 14.5% lead in the physics test suggest that Intel's architecture handles numerical computation and physical simulation workloads better. The 23.7% margin in prime number finding is the largest Intel win, indicating a significant advantage in integer-heavy iterative workloads despite losing the general integer math test.

The single-threaded Passmark result is interesting because AMD wins single-core Cinebench tests by 9.3% to 9.4%, yet Intel wins single-threaded Passmark by 7.3%. This divergence suggests the two suites measure different aspects of single-thread performance. Cinebench focuses on rendering and 3D scene generation, while Passmark single-thread includes a broader mix of desktop tasks. The data indicates AMD has the edge in rendering-oriented single-thread workloads, while Intel leads in the general-purpose single-thread mix.

For fully parallel rendering workloads, the Cinebench multicore results all favor AMD by roughly 9.3%, which aligns with the multithread Passmark result showing an 8.1% AMD lead. However, in the physics simulation test, Intel reverses the trend with a 14.5% win. This means the choice between these processors depends heavily on whether the target application is rendering-based or simulation-based.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. AMD's process advantage is substantial, with the 4 nm node enabling higher transistor density and lower power draw per unit of work.

Both processors have 8 cores and 16 threads, so the thread count parity means performance differences come from architectural efficiency rather than core count. AMD's cache hierarchy uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel uses a larger cache configuration: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The larger Intel caches may contribute to its wins in floating point and prime number workloads, where data reuse patterns benefit from more on-die storage.

The memory support differs significantly. AMD supports DDR5 only with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, with a peak bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The AMD processor has a 16.7% higher memory bandwidth ceiling, which likely explains its strong showing in data compression and random string sorting, both of which are memory-bandwidth-sensitive.

PCIe connectivity also differs. AMD provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel implementation offers newer PCIe generation support, but AMD offers more lanes. The socket platforms are entirely different: AMD uses Socket FP7 with part numbers 100-000001316 (FP7r2) and 100-000001387 (FP7), while Intel uses Socket 1700 with part number SA4QG.

The integrated graphics differ as well. AMD includes the Radeon 780M, while Intel ships UHD Graphics 730. The AMD processor draws 45 W TDP, while the Intel processor draws 65 W TDP, a 20 W difference. The AMD chip has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while Intel runs at 2.70 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost. The higher base clock on AMD contributes to its consistent Cinebench leads, while Intel's higher boost clock may explain its single-thread Passmark advantage.

The release dates are far apart. AMD launched on 2024-04-15, while Intel's release date is 2026-03-08. The Intel processor is a desktop part, while AMD is a mobile part. Both are currently active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. AMD lists 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while Intel does not report transistor count or die size in the database. Both support ECC memory. The Intel processor has a launch MSRP of $221.
