AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS and Intel Core i5-14401E are both six-core, twelve-thread processors, but they target completely different market segments. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile chip built for thin laptops, while the Core i5-14401E is a desktop processor aimed at embedded and industrial systems. The recorded benchmark data shows a clear performance hierarchy, with the Intel part leading in every measured Cinebench test. This analysis walks through the head-to-head results, architectural differences, and the specific use cases where each processor holds an advantage.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark results are unambiguous: Intel Core i5-14401E wins all six recorded Cinebench tests. The largest single-core margin appears in Cinebench R23 single-core, where the Intel chip scores 2564 against the AMD’s 1742, a delta of -32.1%. In multi-core R23, the Intel part reaches 18161, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS scores 12342, again a 32% difference. The same pattern repeats across older Cinebench versions. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, Intel scores 7627 versus AMD’s 5183, a -32% delta. Single-core R20 shows Intel at 1076 against AMD’s 731, a -32.1% gap. Cinebench R15 multi-core puts Intel at 1830 and AMD at 1243, a -32.1% difference, and single-core R15 shows 258 versus 175, a -32.2% delta.

These results indicate that the Intel Core i5-14401E delivers roughly one-third higher scores across the board in Cinebench workloads. The consistency of the delta values, all hovering near 32%, suggests the performance gap is structural rather than workload-specific. The Intel chip’s higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz compared to 4.40 GHz on the AMD part contributes to the single-core advantage. For multi-threaded tasks, the Intel processor also benefits from a larger L3 cache (20 MB versus 16 MB) and higher TDP budget (65 W versus 35 W), which allows sustained performance under load.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS does not win any of the six head-to-head tests. Its best relative performance appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where its score of 12342 represents 68% of the Intel’s 18161. In single-core tests, the AMD part consistently scores around 68% of the Intel chip’s output. This places the Ryzen 5 7533HS in a lower performance tier, but its 35 W TDP indicates a power-efficient design. The Intel Core i5-14401E, with a 65 W TDP, uses nearly twice the power envelope, which explains its higher sustained performance.

The database also shows the AMD chip’s average benchmark score of 19364, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with an average score of 19368 (0% delta), the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19411 (-0.2%), and the Intel Core i7-8700K at 19238 (0.7%). This indicates that the Ryzen 5 7533HS sits in a competitive mid-range mobile segment, roughly matching a desktop Core i7-8700K from several generations prior. The Intel Core i5-14401E, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 5253, placing it in the 60th percentile. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 at 5259 (-0.1%), the Intel Core i7-11700B at 5241 (0.2%), and the Intel Core i9-10850K at 5240 (0.2%). The large difference in average scores (19364 versus 5253) stems from the fact that the AMD chip’s average includes many PassMark tests, while the Intel chip’s average is based solely on Cinebench results. This discrepancy makes direct comparison of average scores misleading, but the head-to-head Cinebench data is directly comparable and favors Intel.

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, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R, fabricated on Intel’s 10 nm process. The process node difference gives AMD a manufacturing advantage in density and efficiency, but the Intel chip compensates with a more aggressive power budget.

Cores and threads are identical: both have 6 cores and 12 threads. However, cache configurations differ significantly. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. This gives Intel a 25% larger L3 cache and more than double the L2 cache per core. For workloads that rely on repeated data access, the larger caches on the Intel part likely contribute to its higher scores.

Clock speeds also favor Intel. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Intel Core i5-14401E has a base clock of 2.50 GHz, which is lower than AMD’s base, but its boost clock reaches 4.70 GHz, 300 MHz higher than the AMD’s maximum. This higher boost frequency explains the Intel chip’s single-core advantage, which is consistent across all three Cinebench versions.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, while the AMD chip does not. This makes the Intel processor more suitable for error-sensitive workloads, such as server or industrial applications.

PCIe capabilities are another differentiator. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Core i5-14401E uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). While Intel offers a newer PCIe standard with higher per-lane bandwidth, AMD provides more total lanes. For systems that need many expansion cards or NVMe drives, AMD’s extra lanes could be beneficial, though the slower Gen 4 standard limits individual device bandwidth.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part includes Radeon 660M graphics, while the Intel chip has UHD Graphics 730. The database does not provide benchmark scores for either iGPU, so no performance comparison is possible from the recorded data. However, the presence of a Radeon 660M in the AMD mobile chip suggests it is designed for light gaming or multimedia use on laptops, whereas the Intel UHD 730 is a basic desktop graphics solution.

Socket and market segment separate the two further. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS uses AMD Socket FP7, a mobile socket, and is classified as a mobile processor. The Intel Core i5-14401E uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket, and is classified as a desktop processor. This distinction affects system compatibility and power delivery. The AMD chip’s 35 W TDP is typical for ultraportable laptops, while the Intel chip’s 65 W TDP suits desktop systems with active cooling.

Release dates show the AMD part arrived later, with a release date of 2024-08-31, while the Intel chip was released on 2024-06-30. Both are currently listed as Active in production. Neither has a launch MSRP in the database. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported on either part.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows that the Intel Core i5-14401E is the clear performance winner in every measured Cinebench test. For users who prioritize raw multi-core and single-core throughput, the Intel chip delivers approximately 32% higher scores across the board. This includes applications that rely on Cinebench-style rendering, such as 3D modeling, video encoding, and simulation workloads. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which is a requirement for certain professional and industrial applications.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS, however, offers a different set of advantages. Its 35 W TDP is significantly lower than the Intel chip’s 65 W, making it suitable for thin, fanless, or passively cooled laptops. The AMD part also has more PCIe lanes (20 versus 16), which can benefit systems with multiple NVMe drives or expansion cards. Its Radeon 660M integrated graphics likely outperform Intel’s UHD 730 for light gaming, though the database does not provide iGPU benchmarks to confirm this.

For desktop users with access to standard cooling, the Intel Core i5-14401E is the data-backed choice. Its higher boost clock, larger caches, and higher TDP translate directly into superior Cinebench scores. For mobile users who require a balance of performance and power efficiency, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the only option among the two, as the Intel chip is a desktop part with no direct mobile equivalent in this comparison.
