AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

The Verdict

The Intel Core 5 213PTE is the clear performance winner in the recorded benchmark data, taking 11 of 15 head-to-head tests. Its average benchmark score of 32924 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, and it sits within 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 8700G in aggregate scoring. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, also at the 83rd percentile with an average score of 32354, trails by roughly 1.7% overall. If your priority is raw compute, especially single-thread performance and multi-core rendering, the Intel part is the obvious choice. The AMD chip only wins where its architecture favors specific workloads: data compression, encryption, extended instructions, and random string sorting. Pick the Intel Core 5 213PTE for a desktop build that prioritizes CPU-heavy tasks like rendering, physics simulation, and prime number finding. Pick the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS if you are constrained by a mobile platform, need lower power draw, or work primarily with data-heavy, security-related, or string-sorting applications.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The Intel Core 5 213PTE is built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry, using the Bartlett Lake codename. It is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700, and it features 8 cores and 16 threads. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS is a mobile chip on AMD Socket FP7, using the Zen 3+ architecture (Rembrandt codename) and manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm node. The die size is recorded at 208 mm² for the AMD, while the Intel die size is not listed in the database.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The Intel processor provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 24 MB L3. The AMD chip uses 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. That larger L3 on the Intel side helps in many multi-threaded workloads. The AMD chip compensates with a smaller process node, which typically aids power efficiency.

Memory support also separates them. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD part supports DDR5 only. Both run dual-channel memory with a recorded bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel chip supports ECC memory; the AMD chip does not. PCIe connectivity differs: the Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the AMD offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics are present on both, with the Intel featuring UHD Graphics 730 and the AMD featuring Radeon 680M. The Intel part has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, while the AMD runs a base of 3.20 GHz and a boost of 4.70 GHz. The TDP is 45 W for Intel and 35 W for AMD, reflecting the mobile target of the latter.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The biggest single victory for the Intel Core 5 213PTE comes in Cinebench R23 single-core, where it scores 3070 against the AMD's 1455, a 111% advantage. That is more than double the single-thread performance, which is a massive gap for any CPU comparison. Cinebench R23 multi-core also favors Intel heavily: 21751 versus 11992, a 81.4% lead. Cinebench R15 single-core shows a 32.1% win for Intel (309 versus 234), and R15 multi-core shows a 10.3% win (2192 versus 1987).

In PassMark tests, Intel wins most of the compute-heavy categories. Floating point math goes to Intel at 71722 versus 47533, a 50.9% margin. Physics simulation is another Intel stronghold: 2199 versus 1009, a 117.9% lead. Prime number finding is the largest percentage win for Intel at 180.4% (157 versus 56). Integer math is 10.5% ahead (93109 versus 84228). PassMark multi-thread favors Intel by 12.2% (25590 versus 22801). Single-thread performance is also an Intel win at 16.8% (3718 versus 3184).

The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS wins four tests, but by smaller margins. Data compression goes to AMD at 292698 versus 261083, a 10.8% advantage. Data encryption favors AMD at 18104 versus 14413, a 20.4% lead. Extended instructions are 19.7% better for AMD (20114 versus 16146). Random string sorting is nearly a tie, with AMD at 30266 and Intel at 30106, a 0.5% difference. None of these wins approach the scale of Intel's single-core or physics victories.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE dominates general-purpose compute and rendering. It wins all Cinebench tests, including R15 and R23, in both single and multi-core variants. The 111% single-core Cinebench R23 lead means tasks that rely on per-core performance, such as lightly threaded applications, will feel dramatically faster on the Intel platform. Physics simulation (117.9% lead) and floating point math (50.9% lead) make it the better choice for scientific computing, engineering simulations, and financial modeling. Prime number finding (180.4% lead) is a niche but decisive metric for cryptographic number theory and certain algorithmic workloads. Integer math, multithreaded workloads, and single-thread PassMark scores all favor Intel, making it the all-around compute champion in this comparison.

The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS wins specifically in data-centric tasks. Its 10.8% lead in data compression suggests better performance in file archiving, database storage operations, and network data handling. Data encryption at 20.4% ahead makes it a better fit for security software, VPN processing, and encrypted storage. Extended instructions (19.7% lead) point to better support for specialized instruction sets, which matters in certain media codec work or cryptography. Random string sorting (0.5% lead, effectively a tie) is not a decisive factor, but it is one more win for AMD in string-heavy workloads. If your workflow involves large data volumes, compression tools, or encryption, the AMD part offers measurable advantages despite losing the overall benchmark count.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across almost every major specification. The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses Intel Socket 1700 and targets the desktop market segment, while the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS uses AMD Socket FP7 and targets mobile. The Intel silicon is built on a 10 nm Intel process, the AMD on a 6 nm TSMC process. The Intel die size is not recorded; the AMD die size is 208 mm².

Clock speeds vary: Intel runs 2.10 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost, AMD runs 3.20 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost. The higher base clock on the AMD chip does not translate into benchmark wins, as the Intel's boost advantage dominates. TDP is 45 W for Intel and 35 W for AMD. Cache hierarchy differs in both size and layout: Intel provides 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3; AMD provides 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3.

Memory support is one area of clear divergence: Intel accepts DDR4 and DDR5, AMD supports DDR5 only. Both use dual-channel memory with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. ECC memory is available only on the Intel part. PCIe lanes and generation differ: Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes, AMD offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730 on Intel and Radeon 680M on AMD. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $221; no launch MSRP is recorded for the AMD part. Neither chip has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part is listed as active production with a release date in March 2026; the AMD release date is not recorded.
