Intel Core i7-1360P vs Intel Core i7-13620H Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database shows a clear split in workload suitability between these two mobile processors. The Intel Core i7-13620H wins all 17 recorded head-to-head comparisons, with its largest advantages appearing in multi-threaded and compute-heavy tasks. The Intel Core i7-1360P, while holding 12 cores versus the 13620H's 10, loses every single matchup in the recorded data. This means the use-case split is not about one chip winning some tasks and the other winning others; it is about the degree of advantage in different workload categories.

The 13620H dominates in extended instruction workloads, scoring 17,513 against the 1360P's 11,581, a 51.2% advantage. This suggests the 13620H is better suited for applications that leverage modern SIMD instructions, such as video encoding, scientific computing, or any software that uses AVX-512 or similar extensions. Data compression also favors the 13620H heavily, with a score of 281,335 versus 203,746, a 38.1% gap. This points to the 13620H as the stronger choice for archiving, database operations, or any workflow that moves large amounts of data through compression algorithms.

For general productivity, the 13620H leads in PassMark multithread (24,192 vs 18,632, a 29.8% delta) and integer math (80,948 vs 67,963, a 19.1% delta). Physics simulation also goes to the 13620H by 30.5% (1,671 vs 1,280). The 1360P, however, remains competitive in single-threaded tasks relative to its own multi-core deficit: it trails by only 3.7% in PassMark single-thread (3,461 vs 3,589) and by 0.2% in Cinebench R23 single-core (1,829 vs 1,833). Therefore, for lightly threaded workloads such as web browsing, office applications, or light coding, the 1360P is nearly on par, and its lower power draw of 28W versus 45W may make it the better fit for thin-and-light laptops where sustained single-core performance matters more than all-core throughput.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded head-to-head data shows a consistent pattern: the 13620H wins every comparison, but the magnitude varies sharply by workload type. The largest single win for the 13620H comes in PassMark extended instructions, where it scores 17,513 against 11,581, a 51.2% advantage. This is the only benchmark where the delta exceeds 50%. The next biggest gap is in data compression, with a 38.1% lead (281,335 vs 203,746). These two workloads suggest the 13620H's architecture handles instruction-level parallelism and memory-intensive operations substantially better.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the 13620H leads by 34.7% (15,176 vs 11,266.5), which is the largest multi-core delta. The R20 multi-core test shows a 27.2% gap (8,305 vs 6,530), and R15 multi-core shows 22.8% (2,281 vs 1,858). Interestingly, the single-core Cinebench results are nearly identical: R23 single-core shows only a 0.2% lead for the 13620H (1,833 vs 1,829), and R15 single-core shows a 1.9% lead (263 vs 258). The R20 single-core test, however, shows a 27.3% gap (1,172 vs 921), which is inconsistent with the other two single-core results and may reflect a test-specific anomaly.

In PassMark, the 13620H wins floating-point math by 29.9% (59,762 vs 45,997), integer math by 19.1% (80,948 vs 67,963), and multithread by 29.8% (24,192 vs 18,632). Physics shows a 30.5% lead (1,671 vs 1,280), and random string sorting also shows 30.5% (29,395 vs 22,522). Data encryption shows a 24.9% gap (15,568 vs 12,463), and prime number finding shows 26.9% (99 vs 78). The smallest PassMark delta is in single-thread, at 3.7% (3,589 vs 3,461).

The data indicates that the 13620H's advantage grows with thread count and instruction complexity. For single-threaded tasks, the two chips are close, with the 13620H holding a narrow edge. For multi-threaded or vectorized workloads, the 13620H pulls ahead by anywhere from 19% to 51%. The 1360P never wins a single recorded comparison, but its single-core performance keeps it within striking distance for lightly threaded use cases.

Specification Differences

The two processors share the same socket (Intel BGA 1744), the same architecture family (Raptor Lake), the same process node (10 nm), the same foundry (Intel), and the same memory support (DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel). They also share the same release date of January 3, 2023, and both are mobile market segment parts with active production status. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The core count differs: the 1360P has 12 cores, the 13620H has 10. Both have 16 threads. The 13620H has a higher base clock at 2.40 GHz versus 2.20 GHz, but the 1360P has a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. TDP also diverges significantly: the 13620H is rated at 45W, the 1360P at 28W.

Cache allocation differs in the L3 tier. The 13620H has 24 MB of shared L3 cache, while the 1360P has 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core. The PCIe support differs: the 13620H offers Gen 5 with 8 CPU lanes, while the 1360P offers Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics also differ: the 13620H uses UHD Graphics 770, while the 1360P uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. The launch MSRP for the 13620H is $502, and for the 1360P it is $480. Part numbers are SRMJ0 for the 13620H and SRMJ8 for the 1360P.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on Raptor Lake, but they belong to different product sub-families: the 13620H is Raptor Lake-H, and the 1360P is Raptor Lake-P. The H suffix typically indicates a higher-power, performance-oriented design, while the P suffix indicates a balanced or efficiency-oriented design. This is reflected in the TDP (45W vs 28W) and in the core configuration.

The 1360P has 12 cores versus 10 for the 13620H, yet the 13620H wins all multi-core tests. This suggests the 13620H's two extra P-cores (or higher clocked cores) deliver more effective throughput than the 1360P's additional E-cores. The 13620H also has 6 MB more L3 cache (24 MB vs 18 MB), which likely contributes to its data compression and extended instruction advantages.

The PCIe generation difference is notable: the 13620H supports Gen 5 with 8 lanes, while the 1360P supports Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The 13620H's Gen 5 interface offers higher per-lane bandwidth, which is relevant for fast NVMe storage or discrete GPUs, though the 1360P has more total lanes. The integrated graphics differ as well, with the 1360P featuring Iris Xe Graphics 96EU, which is a more capable iGPU for display and media tasks, while the 13620H uses UHD Graphics 770, which is more basic.

The L1 and L2 cache structures are identical on a per-core basis (80 KB and 2 MB respectively), so the architectural difference is concentrated in the core count, L3 capacity, and power envelope. The 13620H's higher TDP allows it to sustain higher clocks across all cores, which explains its multi-core dominance despite fewer cores.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Intel Core i7-13620H is the stronger performer in nearly every measurable workload. It wins all 17 head-to-head benchmarks, including every single-core and multi-core test. Its average benchmark score is 24,911 versus 24,344 for the 1360P, placing it slightly higher in the percentile ranking (77th vs 76th). The 13620H's nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11850H, has an average score of 24,935, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the 13620H is statistically tied with that older part.

The 1360P, however, is not without merit. Its single-core performance is nearly identical to the 13620H, trailing by only 0.2% in Cinebench R23 single-core and 3.7% in PassMark single-thread. For users who prioritize battery life and lower heat output, the 1360P's 28W TDP versus 45W for the 13620H is a significant advantage. The 1360P also has 12 cores, which may be marketed as a higher core count, but the benchmark data shows that core count alone does not translate to better performance in this comparison.

The 13620H is the clear choice for users who need maximum throughput in multi-threaded applications, data compression, encryption, or floating-point math. Its 34.7% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 38.1% lead in data compression make it the better option for content creation, scientific computing, or any CPU-bound professional workload. The 1360P is the better choice for users who need a balanced mobile processor with strong single-thread performance and lower power consumption, particularly in thin-and-light laptops where thermal and battery constraints are more important than raw multi-core output.

Given the data, the 13620H is the superior processor in absolute performance terms. The 1360P's only advantages are its lower TDP, higher boost clock, more PCIe lanes, and a more capable integrated GPU (Iris Xe 96EU vs UHD 770). For benchmark-focused comparisons, the 13620H wins outright. For real-world mobile usage where power efficiency matters, the 1360P remains a viable alternative, but it will not match the 13620H in sustained multi-threaded performance.
