The Verdict

The data points to a clear split. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS dominates the Cinebench suite, winning all six tests with a consistent 15.5% margin. It also takes the PassMark multi-thread test by 14.1%, data compression by 24.7%, data encryption by 32.2%, extended instructions by 48.7%, random string sorting by 48.3%, and physics by 5.4%. Its 13 wins versus 4 for the Intel part demonstrate broad superiority across rendering, encryption, compression, and general multi-core workloads.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE has a smaller but meaningful set of strengths. Its integer math score of 119552 beats the AMD part by 18.3%, and its floating-point math score of 67209 beats it by 12.3%. It also edges ahead in PassMark single-thread by 0.8%, though this is within noise.

Users who prioritize multi-threaded productivity, encryption, compression, or any Cinebench-based rendering workload should select the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS. Users whose workloads are dominated by integer or floating-point arithmetic, such as certain simulation or number-crunching tasks, should consider the Intel Core 7 253PTE, but they must accept its losses in nearly every other category. The database shows no scenario where the Intel part wins more than two of the 17 tests, so its appeal is strictly limited to math-heavy applications.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench results are the most striking pattern. Across R15, R20, and R23, in both single-core and multi-core, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS holds a 15.5% or 15.6% lead. The multi-core scores are 2476 versus 2144 in R15, 10317 versus 8935 in R20, and 24565 versus 21276 in R23. The single-core scores are 349 versus 302 in R15, 1456 versus 1261 in R20, and 3468 versus 3003 in R23. This uniformity suggests a consistent architectural advantage rather than a workload-specific quirk.

The PassMark suite tells a more complex story. The AMD part wins data compression with 343952 against 275828, a 24.7% margin. Data encryption shows an even larger gap: 20487 against 15500, a 32.2% margin. Extended instructions deliver the biggest relative win for AMD at 48.7%, with scores of 25434 versus 17099. Random string sorting also heavily favors AMD at 48.3%, with scores of 41867 versus 28227.

The Intel part counters in two major PassMark categories. Floating-point math scores 67209 against 58965, a 12.3% margin. Integer math scores 119552 against 97625, an 18.3% margin. The PassMark single-thread score goes to Intel by a hair: 3794 versus 3762, a 0.8% difference. The PassMark multi-thread test, however, goes to AMD with 28572 versus 25031, a 14.1% margin, and the physics test goes to AMD with 1389 versus 1318, a 5.4% margin.

Overall, the AMD part wins 13 of 17 tests. Its wins include the three largest deltas in the entire comparison (extended instructions at 48.7%, random string sorting at 48.3%, and data encryption at 32.2%), while the Intel part's largest win is 18.3% in integer math.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several core specifications. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 7 253PTE has 10 cores and 20 threads. Despite having fewer cores, the AMD part wins 13 of 17 benchmarks, indicating higher per-core efficiency.

Base clocks differ substantially. The AMD part runs at 3.80 GHz base, while the Intel part runs at 1.80 GHz base. Boost clocks are closer: 5.10 GHz for AMD versus 5.40 GHz for Intel. The Intel part's higher boost clock helps explain its narrow single-thread PassMark win.

Cache configurations differ in structure. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 33 MB shared L3. The Intel part's larger caches, especially the 33 MB L3, likely contribute to its math workload wins.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe generations differ. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The Intel part offers newer PCIe technology but fewer lanes.

The market segment differs. The AMD part is listed as Mobile, while the Intel part is listed as Desktop. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384; the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture on the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 253PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no transistor or die size data recorded.

The integrated graphics differ significantly. The AMD part uses the Radeon 780M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. This difference matters for systems relying on the iGPU for display output or light graphics acceleration.

The sockets differ. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. This means platform choice is predetermined by processor selection.

The generations differ. The AMD part is in the 8000 series, generation "Ryzen 7 (Zen 4 (Hawk Point))". The Intel part is in the Core 7 generation "Bartlett Lake". The AMD part released on 2024-04-15, while the Intel part released on 2026-03-08.

The AMD part has a single architecture (Zen 4) across all cores. The Intel part's architecture field is null in the database, so no core architecture details are available beyond the Bartlett Lake codename. Both processors have locked multipliers and are currently in active production.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins in rendering workloads, as shown by its 15.5% lead in all three Cinebench versions. It also wins in data compression (24.7% ahead), data encryption (32.2% ahead), extended instruction workloads (48.7% ahead), random string sorting (48.3% ahead), multi-threaded general performance (14.1% ahead), and physics simulation (5.4% ahead). The PassMark multi-thread score of 28572 confirms its strength in heavily threaded tasks.

The AMD part also wins the prime number test, though by a slim 6.1% margin (87 versus 82). Its overall benchmark profile shows dominance across memory-intensive and cryptography-related tasks, likely due to its Zen 4 architecture and 4 nm process efficiency.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE wins in integer math, scoring 18.3% higher than the AMD part. Its floating-point math score is 12.3% higher. These two wins cover arithmetic-heavy workloads such as financial modeling, scientific calculations, and certain engineering simulations. The Intel part also wins the PassMark single-thread test by 0.8%, which is the only single-threaded win in the comparison.

The Intel part's 10 cores and 20 threads provide more parallel resources on paper, but the benchmark data shows the AMD part's 8 cores and 16 threads outperform it in most multi-threaded tests. The Intel part's higher boost clock (5.40 GHz versus 5.10 GHz) gives it a marginal edge in single-thread PassMark, but this does not translate to Cinebench single-core, where AMD leads by 15.5%.

For systems that need ECC memory, both processors qualify. For platforms that require DDR4 compatibility, only the Intel part qualifies. For PCIe Gen 5 support, only the Intel part qualifies. For a smaller process node and lower power draw per transistor, the AMD part's 4 nm TSMC process has the advantage over Intel's 10 nm process.
