AMD Ryzen 7 5700G vs Intel Core i9-13900H

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a desktop APU with 8 cores and part of the Cezanne product family. The 8 cores are based on the Zen 3 architecture and can clock between 3.8 to 4.6 GHz. Thanks to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), the CPU supports up to 16 threads at once. At time of the launch, the 5700G is the fastest 8-core-CPU with an iGPU from AMD.

The integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 is currently one of the fastest iGPUs and capable of 1080p gaming at low details.

Performance

The 5700G delivers very serviceable multi-thread performance, as of mid 2022, trading blows with upper mid-range chips such as the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Core i5-12500H. Besides, the consumer is officially allowed to overclock the thing, creating a bit of a performance gain out of thin air. Find out more by reading our full Ryzen 7 5700G review.

Power consumption

This Ryzen 7 series APU has a default TDP, also known as the long-term power limit, of 65 W. PC makers are free to reduce that somewhat with 45 W being the minimum AMD-recommended value. Clock speeds and performance would take a hit as a result.

The R7 5700G is built with TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process for average, as of mid 2023, energy efficiency.

Intel Core i9-13900H

The Intel Core i9-13900H is a high-end mobile CPU for laptops based on the Raptor Lake-H series (Alder Lake architecture). It was announced in early 2023 and offers 6 performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 8 efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support Hyper-Threading leading to 20 supported threads when combined with the E-cores. The clock rate ranges from 2.6 to 5.4 GHz (single core turbo, all-core 4.9 GHz) on the performance cluster and 1.9 to 4.1 GHz on the efficiency cluster. The performance of the E-cores should be similar to old Skylake cores (compare with the Core i7-6920HQ). All cores can use up to 24 MB L3 cache. Compared to the similar Core i9-13900HK, the 13900H supports no open multiplicator for overclocking, but on the other hand the full set of vPro management features.

Performance

The average 13900H in our database is in the same league as the Core i5-13500HX, Core i7-13705H, Core i9-12900HK, Core i9-13905H and also the Ryzen 9 7940HS, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned.

Thanks to its decent cooling solution and a long-term CPU power limit of 115 W, the Stealth 17 Studio A13VH-014 is among the fastest laptops built around the 13900H that we know of. It can be about 50% faster in CPU-bound workloads than the slowest system featuring the same chip in our database, as of August 2023.

Features

The integrated memory controller supports various memory types up to DDR5-5200 (up from 4800 MHz for the 12th gen). The Thread Director (in hardware) can support the operating system to decide which thread to use on the performance or efficient cores for the best performance. For AI tasks, the CPU also integrates GNA 3.0 and DL Boost (via AVX2). Quick Sync in version 8 is the same as in the Rocket Lake CPUs and supports MPEG-2, AVC, VC-1 decode, JPEG, VP8 decode, VP9, HEVC, and AV1 decode in hardware. The CPU now supports PCIe 5.0 x8 for a GPU and two PCIe 4.0 x4 for SSDs.

The integrated graphics card is based on the Xe-architecture and offers 96 EUs (Execution Units) .

The CPU is rated at 45 W base power (115 W PL2) but most laptops will use a PL1 of around 60 Watt. The SoC is manufactured in a 10nm process at Intel, which is known as Intel 7 (improved over the 12th Gen).
