AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX and Intel Core 5 211TE occupy different positions in the benchmark database, with the AMD part recording an average benchmark score of 60104 against Intel’s 15370. The Ryzen 7 8745HX sits in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, while the Core 5 211TE lands in the 69th percentile. Head-to-head results across all eleven recorded PassMark tests show a clean sweep for the AMD processor, with no test won by the Intel chip.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single victory for the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX comes in the extended instructions test, where it scores 27638 against Intel’s 8615, a delta of 220.8%. This indicates a substantial advantage in workloads that leverage advanced instruction sets, a gap that dwarfs the differences seen in more conventional compute tasks.

Data encryption shows the second-largest delta at 202%, with AMD scoring 21840 and Intel scoring 7231. Integer math follows closely at 195.2% (100328 versus 33991), and random string sorting is nearly identical in margin at 199.9% (44494 versus 14838). These three tests together paint a picture of AMD’s dominance in both cryptographic workloads and algorithmic sorting tasks.

The multithread benchmark, often a strong indicator of overall throughput, shows AMD at 31517 versus Intel’s 11685, a 169.7% advantage. Single-thread performance tells a similar story, with AMD scoring 3879 against Intel’s 1408, a delta of 175.5%. This is notable because single-thread results typically reflect per-core efficiency, and the AMD part is ahead there by a wide margin.

Data compression shows AMD at 363759 versus Intel’s 133434, a 172.6% delta. Floating point math sees AMD at 61972 against 26150, a 137% advantage. The smallest delta of the entire set is in the physics test, where AMD scores 1681 and Intel scores 1278, a 31.5% edge. Even in its narrowest victory, the AMD processor remains firmly ahead.

The prime numbers test shows AMD at 159 against Intel’s 72, a 120.8% delta. This is the only head-to-head result below a 120% margin, reinforcing the consistency of AMD’s lead. Across all eleven recorded head-to-head benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX records a win in every single case.

Where Each One Wins

The data shows no benchmark category where the Intel Core 5 211TE takes a win. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX wins all measured tests, including single-thread, multithread, integer math, floating point math, encryption, compression, sorting, extended instructions, prime number generation, and physics simulation.

The closest contest is physics performance, where Intel comes within 31.5% of AMD’s score. This suggests that in workloads driven primarily by physics calculations, the gap between the two narrows, though it does not close. The Intel part’s relative strength, if any, lies in this narrower margin rather than in any outright victory.

The AMD processor’s largest edges appear in extended instructions, encryption, and integer math, all of which exceed a 195% delta. These are workloads that often benefit from higher clock speeds and more efficient instruction handling. The Intel chip’s best relative showing, outside of physics, is still a deficit of over 120% in prime number generation, indicating that no measured task plays to its strengths.

For users focused on the recorded benchmark suite, the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX is the only part that registers wins. The Intel Core 5 211TE does not hold a lead in any of the eleven tests, making its role in this comparison purely that of a lower-scoring reference point.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a one-sided comparison. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX wins all 11 head-to-head benchmarks, holds a 92nd percentile ranking, and records an average benchmark score of 60104. The Intel Core 5 211TE records an average score of 15370 and sits in the 69th percentile.

The AMD part’s nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX with an average score of 60099 and a delta of 0%, the Intel Core i9-14900F at 60008 with a delta of 0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D at 59641 with a delta of 0.8%. These scores place the Ryzen 7 8745HX in the same performance band as higher-tier desktop and mobile parts.

The Intel Core 5 211TE’s nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7543 at 15477 with a delta of -0.7%, the AMD EPYC 7702P at 15130 with a delta of 1.6%, the AMD Ryzen 3 7440U at 15682 with a delta of -2%, and the Intel Core i3-1315U at 15022 with a delta of 2.3%. The Intel part sits in a much lower performance tier.

For anyone selecting between these two based solely on the benchmark data, the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX is the higher-performing processor in every recorded test. The Intel Core 5 211TE does not offer a single measured advantage, though it does provide ECC memory support and DDR4 compatibility. The AMD part also carries a higher TDP of 55 W against Intel’s 45 W, a tradeoff that appears in the power envelope rather than in the performance results. The closest margin, physics at 31.5%, still favors AMD, and the largest margin, extended instructions at 220.8%, leaves no ambiguity about the overall ranking.
