AMD Ryzen 7 7735U vs Intel Xeon 6337P Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data splits this comparison cleanly along architectural lines. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U and Intel Xeon 6337P sit at nearly identical overall performance levels — the AMD part averages 28,350 across all tests, while the Intel part averages 28,333, a delta of just 0.1% in AMD's favor. Both land in the 80th percentile of all CPUs. Yet the two chips win in completely different workload families, and the correct pick depends entirely on whether the task is single-thread-bound or multi-thread-bound with specific instruction patterns.

The Intel Xeon 6337P wins 10 of the 15 head-to-head benchmarks, including every Cinebench test and all three PassMark physics/single-thread tests. Its most dramatic victory is Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it scores 18,783 versus the Ryzen's 10,085 — a 46.3% margin. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U takes the other five tests, led by data encryption at 25.6% ahead, integer math at 10.1% ahead, and extended instructions at 6.4% ahead. For anyone running Cinebench or physics simulations, the Xeon is the clear choice. For encryption, compression, integer workloads, or AVX-style extended instruction sets, the Ryzen dominates.

The Ryzen 7 7735U is a mobile part with a 28 W TDP, Radeon 680M integrated graphics, and a 2023 release date. The Xeon 6337P is a server/workstation processor with an 80 W TDP, no integrated graphics, and a 2025 release date. The data shows the Xeon trades power and platform flexibility for raw throughput, while the Ryzen delivers competitive average scores with far lower power draw and built-in graphics. Neither chip is universally better; each wins where its architecture is strongest.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U wins in data compression (250,457 vs 237,373, a 5.5% edge), data encryption (15,825 vs 12,604, a 25.6% edge), extended instructions (16,349 vs 15,366, a 6.4% edge), integer math (79,580 vs 72,301, a 10.1% edge), and random string sorting (26,365 vs 26,135, a slim 0.9% edge). These are workloads that benefit from the Zen 3+ architecture's balanced execution resources and the 8-core/16-thread configuration. The encryption result is particularly striking — a 25.6% advantage suggests the Ryzen's integrated security and crypto acceleration paths are substantially more efficient.

The Intel Xeon 6337P wins in Cinebench R15 multi-core (1,893 vs 1,698, a 10.3% edge), Cinebench R15 single-core (267 vs 234, a 12.4% edge), Cinebench R23 multi-core (18,783 vs 10,085, a 46.3% edge), Cinebench R23 single-core (2,651 vs 1,490, a 43.8% edge), find prime numbers (108 vs 57, a 47.2% edge), floating-point math (53,150 vs 42,966, a 19.2% edge), PassMark multi-thread (22,098 vs 20,723, a 6.2% edge), physics (1,729 vs 996, a 42.4% edge), and both single-thread tests (4,104 vs 3,236, a 21.2% edge). The Xeon's 5.30 GHz boost clock and Raptor Lake architecture clearly favor latency-sensitive and floating-point-heavy tasks.

The win distribution is lopsided in count but not in importance. The Xeon's Cinebench R23 multi-core margin is enormous, but the Ryzen's encryption advantage is proportionally even larger in its own domain. Users running rendering, physics, or prime-number searches should favor Intel; users running encryption, compression, or integer-heavy database workloads should favor AMD.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U uses the Zen 3+ architecture on a 6 nm TSMC process, with a die size of 208 mm². The Intel Xeon 6337P uses Raptor Lake on Intel's 10 nm process, with a die size of 163 mm². The Ryzen packs 8 cores and 16 threads; the Xeon has 6 cores and 12 threads. Despite having fewer cores, the Xeon achieves higher multi-core scores in most tests, driven by its higher clocks — 3.50 GHz base and 5.30 GHz boost versus the Ryzen's 2.70 GHz base and 4.75 GHz boost.

Cache layouts differ significantly. The Ryzen has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Xeon has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The Xeon's larger per-core L2 cache (1.25 MB vs 512 KB) and larger L3 pool (18 MB vs 16 MB) help explain its single-thread superiority, particularly in the 43.8% Cinebench R23 single-core gap.

Memory support diverges: the Ryzen supports DDR5 only, dual-channel, with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. The Xeon supports both DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with no bandwidth figure listed. Both support ECC memory. PCIe generations differ — the Ryzen offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Xeon offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The Ryzen includes Radeon 680M integrated graphics; the Xeon has no integrated graphics (N/A). The Ryzen uses AMD Socket FP7 and is a mobile part; the Xeon uses Intel Socket 1700 and is a server/workstation part.

The Xeon's launch MSRP is $375. The Ryzen has no listed launch MSRP. The Ryzen was released on 2023-01-03, while the Xeon was released on 2025-02-23. Both are active production parts, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Ryzen's part number is 100-000000987(FP7)100-000000991(FP7r2); the Xeon's is SRPLU.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single margin in the entire comparison belongs to the Intel Xeon 6337P in find prime numbers, where it scores 108 against the Ryzen's 57 — a 47.2% gap. This is followed closely by the Xeon's Cinebench R23 multi-core win at 46.3% (18,783 vs 10,085) and its Cinebench R23 single-core win at 43.8% (2,651 vs 1,490). The Xeon also takes PassMark physics by 42.4% (1,729 vs 996) and PassMark single-thread by 21.2% (4,104 vs 3,236). These are not marginal differences; they represent fundamental architectural strengths in clock speed, cache hierarchy, and floating-point execution.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7735U's biggest win is data encryption at 25.6% (15,825 vs 12,604). This is the only test where the Ryzen exceeds a 10% margin in its favor. Its other wins are more modest: integer math at 10.1% (79,580 vs 72,301), extended instructions at 6.4% (16,349 vs 15,366), data compression at 5.5% (250,457 vs 237,373), and random string sorting at just 0.9% (26,365 vs 26,135). The encryption result is noteworthy because it suggests the Ryzen's security-related instruction paths are substantially more efficient than the Xeon's, even though the Xeon otherwise dominates.

The multi-thread comparison is instructive. The Xeon wins PassMark multi-thread by 6.2% (22,098 vs 20,723) and Cinebench R15 multi-core by 10.3% (1,893 vs 1,698), but the Ryzen wins PassMark integer math by 10.1% and data compression by 5.5%. This indicates the Xeon's multi-thread advantage is workload-dependent — it excels in floating-point and physics-heavy parallel tasks but falls behind in integer-heavy and encryption-heavy parallel tasks. The Xeon's Cinebench R23 multi-core margin of 46.3% is the outlier, suggesting that specific rendering workloads disproportionately favor the Raptor Lake architecture.

For single-thread performance, the Xeon is consistently ahead. It wins Cinebench R15 single-core by 12.4% (267 vs 234), Cinebench R23 single-core by 43.8% (2,651 vs 1,490), and PassMark single-thread by 21.2% (4,104 vs 3,236). The Cinebench R23 single-core margin is particularly large and points to a major single-thread clock and IPC advantage for the Xeon's 5.30 GHz boost clock. The Ryzen's single-core scores are competitive in absolute terms but trail by margins that would be noticeable in latency-sensitive applications.
