AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS vs Intel Core Ultra 5 245T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a complete sweep for the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T across all 17 benchmark comparisons. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS does not register a single win in any of the head-to-head tests. The margins are substantial in every category, but the scale of the difference varies significantly by workload type.

In the Cinebench suite, the Intel part delivers roughly double the multi-core performance. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26,208 for the Intel chip versus 12,342 for the AMD chip represents a 52.9% deficit for the Ryzen. The single-core R23 result follows the same pattern: 3,699 for Intel versus 1,742 for AMD, again a 52.9% gap. The Cinebench R15 and R20 tests show identical deltas of approximately 53% in both single and multi-core variants, confirming that the performance ratio is consistent across rendering generations.

The Passmark integer math test shows a narrower 42.7% gap, with the Intel part scoring 88,676 against AMD's 50,800. Floating point math is far more lopsided: Intel scores 108,499 versus 27,800, a 74.4% deficit for the AMD processor. The largest single delta appears in the prime number search test, where Intel's 324 crushes AMD's 48, an 85.2% gap. This test tends to reward higher single-thread throughput and efficient branch handling, both areas where the newer Intel architecture shows a clear advantage.

Data compression and encryption workloads show Intel leading by 40.6% and 54.7% respectively. The compression test scores are 283,812 for Intel versus 168,692 for AMD. Encryption scores are 23,656 versus 10,718. Extended instruction throughput, which measures SIMD and vector workload efficiency, shows Intel at 22,071 against AMD's 11,219, a 49.2% gap.

The Passmark multithread score of 30,833 for Intel versus 14,520 for AMD mirrors the Cinebench multi-core pattern with a 52.9% delta. The physics test shows Intel at 2,278 versus AMD's 821, a 64% gap. Random string sorting, a memory-latency-sensitive test, shows Intel at 34,931 versus AMD's 17,669, a 49.4% deficit. Single-thread Passmark scores are 4,367 for Intel versus 2,740 for AMD, the smallest relative gap at 37.3%, but still a decisive margin.

The average benchmark scores in the database further contextualize this gap. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS sits at an average of 19,364, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T averages 38,194. The AMD part ranks in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel part ranks in the 86th percentile. The nearest rival for the AMD chip is the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with an average score of 19,368 (a 0% delta), followed by the Intel Core i5-1345U at 19,411 (0.2% ahead), the Intel Core i7-10700F at 19,499 (0.7% ahead), and the Intel Core i7-8700K at 19,238 (0.7% behind). For the Intel chip, the closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 7 250 at 38,221 (0.1% ahead), then the Intel Core i5-13600HX at 38,261 (0.2% ahead), the Intel Core i5-14490F at 38,149 (0.1% behind), and the Intel Core i5-13600KF at 38,103 (0.2% behind).

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T outperforms the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS in every measured workload. The smallest advantage is 37.3% in single-thread Passmark, and the largest is 85.2% in prime number search. No benchmark category shows the AMD part even approaching parity. The Intel chip's average score is nearly double that of the AMD chip, and its percentile ranking is 13 points higher.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile processor with a 35-watt TDP, six cores, and twelve threads. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T is a desktop processor with a 65-watt TDP, fourteen cores, and fourteen threads. The core count difference alone explains much of the multi-core gap, but the single-core results show a fundamental architectural advantage for Intel as well. The Intel chip boosts to 5.10 GHz versus 4.40 GHz for AMD, and its newer process node and architecture deliver higher instructions per clock.

From a pure performance standpoint, the Intel part is the clear choice. The database shows no scenario where the AMD part wins, so any selection of the Ryzen 5 7533HS must be based on factors other than benchmark scores. The AMD part belongs to the 7000 series with Zen 3+ architecture, while the Intel part belongs to Core Ultra Series 2 with Arrow Lake architecture. These are different market segments: mobile versus desktop.

Where Each One Wins
