AMD Ryzen 3 110 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X Comparison

The Verdict

The data presents two AMD processors with completely different design targets. The AMD Ryzen 3 110 is a 4-core, 8-thread mobile part built on the Zen 3+ architecture, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop processor using the Zen 5 architecture. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X offers 4 times the cores, 4 times the threads, a higher base clock (4.30 GHz versus 3.00 GHz), and a higher boost clock (5.70 GHz versus 4.30 GHz). The benchmark database shows no recorded head-to-head benchmark results, no average benchmark scores, and no wins for either processor. Consequently, the recorded data does not provide a quantitative performance comparison. What the data does show is a clear specification split: the Ryzen Embedded 9950X is built for heavy multi-threaded workloads with its 16 cores, 32 threads, and 64 MB of L3 cache, while the Ryzen 3 110 is a low-power mobile chip with a 28 W TDP, suitable for compact systems. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X also features an unlocked multiplier and PCIe Gen 5 support, whereas the Ryzen 3 110 has a locked multiplier and PCIe Gen 4 support. Based strictly on the specification data, the Ryzen Embedded 9950X is the high-performance option, while the Ryzen 3 110 is the efficient, low-power alternative.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations. The Ryzen 3 110 uses the Zen 3+ architecture with the codename Rembrandt-R, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. Its die size is listed as 210 mm². The Ryzen Embedded 9950X uses the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Granite Ridge, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its die size is listed as 2x 70.6 mm². The Ryzen Embedded 9950X has a transistor count of 16,630 million, while the Ryzen 3 110 has no recorded transistor count. The cache hierarchies differ substantially. The Ryzen 3 110 has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of L3 cache. The L3 cache difference is especially notable: the Ryzen Embedded 9950X has 8 times the L3 capacity of the Ryzen 3 110. Both processors support DDR5 memory with dual-channel memory buses, but the memory bandwidth differs: the Ryzen 3 110 has 76.8 GB/s, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X has 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. The integrated graphics differ as well: the Ryzen 3 110 includes Radeon 660M graphics, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X includes Radeon Graphics. The Ryzen 3 110 uses the AMD Socket FP7, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X uses the AMD Socket AM5. The Ryzen 3 110 is a mobile processor, whereas the Ryzen Embedded 9950X is a desktop processor. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, while the Ryzen 3 110 has a locked multiplier. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X also provides PCIe Gen 5 with 28 lanes (CPU only), while the Ryzen 3 110 provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). Both processors are listed as Active in production status.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. The `headToHeadBenchmarks` array is empty, the `winsA` and `winsB` fields are both set to 0, and the `avgBenchmarkScore` for both processors is 0. The `percentileVsAllCpus` field for both is 50, indicating they sit at the median of all CPUs in the database, but this is not derived from any specific benchmark results recorded for these parts. Therefore, the recorded data does not allow a direct quantitative comparison of performance between the Ryzen 3 110 and the Ryzen Embedded 9950X. The only measurable differences come from the specification sheet. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X has a base clock that is 1.30 GHz higher and a boost clock that is 1.40 GHz higher than the Ryzen 3 110. It also has 12 additional cores and 24 additional threads. The memory bandwidth is 12.8 GB/s higher on the Ryzen Embedded 9950X. The L3 cache is 56 MB larger. These specification advantages suggest the Ryzen Embedded 9950X would outperform the Ryzen 3 110 in multi-threaded tasks, but the database does not contain benchmark scores to confirm this. Conversely, the Ryzen 3 110 has a TDP of 28 W, compared to 170 W for the Ryzen Embedded 9950X, indicating a much lower power draw for the mobile chip. The database records no benchmark wins for either processor, so any performance conclusion must rely solely on the specification differences.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen Embedded 9950X wins on raw processing capacity. It has 16 cores versus 4, 32 threads versus 8, a base clock of 4.30 GHz versus 3.00 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.70 GHz versus 4.30 GHz. The L3 cache is 64 MB versus 8 MB, and the memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s. The PCIe Gen 5 interface with 28 lanes provides double the lane count and a newer generation compared to PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes on the Ryzen 3 110. The unlocked multiplier allows user-controlled overclocking, a feature absent on the Ryzen 3 110. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X is a desktop processor with a 170 W TDP, suitable for systems where power draw is not a constraint.

The Ryzen 3 110 wins on efficiency and compactness. Its TDP of 28 W is drastically lower than 170 W, making it suitable for mobile or low-power systems. It uses the AMD Socket FP7, a mobile socket, and is classified in the Mobile market segment. The integrated Radeon 660M graphics provide a specific graphics solution, whereas the Ryzen Embedded 9950X only lists Radeon Graphics. The Ryzen 3 110 has a smaller die size of 210 mm² compared to the 2x 70.6 mm² of the Ryzen Embedded 9950X, although the latter is composed of two chiplets. The Ryzen 3 110 was released on 2025-09-30, slightly earlier than the Ryzen Embedded 9950X on 2025-10-06. The database records no benchmark wins for either processor, so the performance advantage of the Ryzen Embedded 9950X is inferred from its specification advantages, while the Ryzen 3 110's advantage lies in its low power envelope and mobile form factor.
