AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core 3 N350 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and Intel Core 3 N350 are both mobile processors, but the recorded data places them in different performance classes. The AMD part wins all 17 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, while the Intel part records zero wins. The average benchmark score for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is 19364, placing it at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 3 N350 has an average score of 9903, placing it at the 66th percentile. These figures establish a clear hierarchy, with the Ryzen 5 7533HS leading by a substantial margin across both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the outright winner in every recorded benchmark category. The largest advantage appears in extended instructions, where the AMD processor scores 11219 against the Intel’s 3981, a delta of 181.8%. This indicates a strong advantage in workloads that use advanced or specialized instruction sets. The AMD part also leads heavily in prime number finding, scoring 48 versus 20, a 140% delta, which reflects on integer-heavy mathematical operations.

The Intel Core 3 N350 does not win any of the 17 head-to-head tests. Its closest relative performance comes in the PassMark single-thread test, where the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 2740 versus the Intel’s 1974, a delta of 38.8%. Even in this narrowest margin, the AMD processor still leads by a significant amount. For users focused on multi-threaded rendering, the AMD part’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12342 more than doubles the Intel’s 6274, a delta of 96.7%. The data shows no use case from these benchmarks where the Intel Core 3 N350 takes the lead.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is built on the Zen 3+ architecture with the codename Rembrandt-R, part of the 7000 series. It uses a 6 nm process node from TSMC and has a die size of 208 mm². The Intel Core 3 N350 uses the Twin Lake architecture, also known as Core 3 with an Alder Lake-N generation label, and is built on a 10 nm process node from Intel. The AMD part integrates the Radeon 660M graphics, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The core configurations differ in both count and thread handling. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads, enabling simultaneous multithreading. The Intel Core 3 N350 has 8 cores but only 8 threads, meaning no hyperthreading support. The AMD base clock is 3.30 GHz with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Intel base clock is recorded as 0.10 GHz, with a boost clock of 3.90 GHz. The low base clock on the Intel part suggests a design focused on power efficiency, while the AMD part runs at a higher sustained frequency.

Cache hierarchies also differ sharply. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 3 N350 provides 96 KB of L1 cache per core, a shared 2 MB L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD processor’s larger L3 cache, 16 MB versus 6 MB, benefits workloads that repeatedly access a sizable working set. Memory support differs as well: the AMD part supports DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the Intel part supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 but runs on a single-channel bus with 38.4 GB/s bandwidth.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench suite shows consistent doubling of performance for the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD scores 1243 against the Intel’s 632, a delta of 96.7%. The single-core R15 test shows a similar pattern, with AMD at 175 and Intel at 89, a delta of 96.6%. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 5183 for AMD versus 2635 for Intel, again a delta of 96.7%, while single-core is 731 versus 371, a delta of 97%. Cinebench R23 multicore sees the AMD at 12342 and Intel at 6274, a delta of 96.7%, and single-core at 1742 versus 885, a delta of 96.8%.

The PassMark suite reveals the widest gaps. In extended instructions, the AMD leads by 181.8%, scoring 11219 versus 3981. Prime number finding shows a 140% delta, with 48 versus 20. Data compression results show the AMD at 168692 versus the Intel’s 80444, a delta of 109.7%. Encryption performance puts AMD at 10718 versus 5693, a delta of 88.3%. Integer math shows AMD at 50800 versus 27669, a delta of 83.6%. Physics tests put AMD at 821 versus 446, a delta of 84.1%. Floating point math shows AMD at 27800 versus 17781, a delta of 56.3%. Random string sorting has AMD at 17669 versus 10102, a delta of 74.9%. The multithread test gives AMD 14520 versus 7382, a delta of 96.7%. The single-thread test, repeated as singlethread, gives AMD 2740 versus 1974, a delta of 38.8%.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel Core 3 N350 uses Intel BGA 1264. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads; the Intel part has 8 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks are 3.30 GHz for AMD and 0.10 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 4.40 GHz for AMD and 3.90 GHz for Intel. Thermal design power is 35 watts for the AMD and 7 watts for the Intel.

Cache specifications diverge completely. The AMD L1 cache is 64 KB per core, while the Intel L1 is 96 KB per core. The AMD L2 is 512 KB per core, while the Intel L2 is 2 MB shared. The AMD L3 is 16 MB shared, while the Intel L3 is 6 MB shared. Memory support differs: AMD uses DDR5 only, while Intel supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5. The memory bus is dual-channel for AMD and single-channel for Intel. Memory bandwidth is 76.8 GB/s for AMD and 38.4 GB/s for Intel.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS as the superior processor in every measured benchmark. Its average benchmark score of 19364 places it at the 73rd percentile, while the Intel Core 3 N350’s average of 9903 places it at the 66th percentile. The AMD part wins all 17 head-to-head comparisons, with deltas ranging from 38.8% in single-threaded tests to 181.8% in extended instructions.

The Intel Core 3 N350 has a much lower thermal design power of 7 watts versus 35 watts for the AMD part, which suggests a focus on minimal power draw. Its 8 cores and 8 threads provide a wider physical core count, but the lack of multithreading and the single-channel memory bus limit its throughput. The AMD part compensates for its 6-core count with 12 threads, a higher boost clock of 4.40 GHz, and double the memory bandwidth.

Users who require multi-threaded rendering, data compression, encryption, or extended instruction workloads should select the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, as it delivers roughly double the performance in Cinebench tests and leads by over 100% in several PassMark categories. The Intel Core 3 N350 remains a viable option only for scenarios where the 7-watt power envelope is the primary constraint, as its performance metrics are consistently lower across the board. The data provides no benchmark evidence that favors the Intel part for any performance-oriented task.
