AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Core Ultra X7 358H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no individual benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H has a full suite of 17 recorded results. Consequently, the head-to-head benchmark section is defined entirely by the Intel processor's output, as there are no comparable AMD scores to contrast.

The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H posts a multi-core score of 18,747 in Cinebench R23. Its single-core result in the same test reaches 2,080. In Cinebench R20, the processor delivers 12,011 in multi-core and 1,695 in single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 3,027 for multi-core and 301.5 for single-core. These results place the chip at the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 40,967.

PassMark results for the Intel chip show a multi-thread score of 33,802 and a single-thread score of 4,124. The data compression test records 332,508, while data encryption reaches 26,046. Extended instructions score 27,274, and find prime numbers completes at 337. Floating point math posts 103,842, integer math records 83,147, physics scores 3,021, and random string sorting finishes at 40,357.

Because the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has zero recorded benchmarks and zero wins in the head-to-head comparison, the database cannot compute any relative deltas. The Intel part holds all recorded wins by default, but without AMD scores, no percentage advantages can be derived. The wins counter shows 0 for AMD and 0 for Intel, indicating that the absence of AMD data prevents any meaningful head-to-head metric calculation.

The database does not list transistor count or die size for the Intel part.

The AMD processor features 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel processor has 16 cores and 16 threads, meaning it offers twice the physical core count but the same thread count, indicating the Intel chip does not use simultaneous multithreading. The AMD chip has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel chip has a lower base clock of 1.90 GHz but a higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD chip provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a total of 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip offers 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations and a larger total L3 cache.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor includes Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors. The Intel processor includes Arc B390 graphics. The memory support also diverges: the AMD chip uses DDR4 memory with dual-channel support at 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel chip uses LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel support at 153.6 GB/s bandwidth. Neither supports ECC memory.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several recorded specification fields. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H has 16 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 3.80 GHz for AMD and 1.90 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 4.60 GHz for AMD and 4.80 GHz for Intel. TDP ratings are 65 for AMD and 25 for Intel.

The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM4, while Intel uses BGA 2540. The process nodes are 7 nm for AMD and 3 nm for Intel. The foundries are TSMC for AMD and Intel for Intel. Cache structures differ, with AMD using 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3, while Intel uses 192 KB L1 per core, 3 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB L3.

Memory support shows AMD with DDR4 and Intel with LPDDR5X. Memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s for AMD and 153.6 GB/s for Intel.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on workload and platform requirements. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark scores. It achieves the 87th percentile among all CPUs and posts an average score of 40,967. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded scores, placing it at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0.

For users requiring verified multi-threaded performance, the Intel chip demonstrates concrete results: 18,747 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 12,011 in R20, and 3,027 in R15. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 33,802 and floating point math score of 103,842 indicate strong sustained compute capability. The Intel part also shows a higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus 4.60 GHz for AMD.

For users prioritizing desktop compatibility and upgradability, the AMD processor fits the AM4 socket with an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking. The Intel processor is locked and uses a mobile BGA socket, which is not suited for desktop builds. The AMD chip also offers a higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus 1.90 GHz, which can benefit lightly threaded tasks that do not boost.

The database cannot declare an overall winner because the AMD chip lacks any benchmark measurements. The Intel chip wins every recorded benchmark by default, but this result is a function of data availability rather than a measured performance advantage.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H wins in every category where benchmark data exists. Its multi-threaded performance is confirmed by Cinebench R23 multi-core at 18,747, R20 at 12,011, and R15 at 3,027. PassMark multi-thread confirms with 33,802. Single-thread performance is also measured: 4,124 in PassMark, 2,080 in Cinebench R23, 1,695 in R20, and 301.5 in R15. Specialized workloads show strong results: data compression at 332,508, floating point math at 103,842, integer math at 83,147, and random string sorting at 40,357.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded wins in any benchmark category. However, its specification sheet suggests advantages in specific use cases that do not require benchmark scores. The unlocked multiplier allows frequency adjustment, which is not possible on the locked Intel part. The AM4 socket supports desktop integration, whereas the Intel BGA 2540 is a mobile socket. The AMD chip draws 65 W TDP, which is higher than the Intel's 25 W, but the AMD part is designed for desktop power delivery rather than mobile efficiency.

For memory bandwidth, the Intel part has a clear specification advantage at 153.6 GB/s versus 51.2 GB/s for AMD. For PCIe connectivity, the AMD chip offers 16 Gen 3 lanes, while the Intel chip offers only 4 Gen 5 lanes, so the AMD part supports more expansion devices directly from the CPU. For integrated graphics, the database lists different solutions, but no benchmark scores exist to compare their performance.
