AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U vs AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U are both 4-core, 8-thread processors aimed at different segments of the market. While they share a similar core count, the benchmark data reveals a consistent, albeit narrow, performance advantage for the Embedded part across every tested workload. The V3C14 wins all six head-to-head comparisons, with a uniform delta of 4.4% in each test, making the performance relationship between these two CPUs unusually clear-cut.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The data shows a complete sweep for the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14, with no benchmark where the Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U manages to take the lead. The margin is consistent across both single-threaded and multi-threaded tests, suggesting a fundamental architectural or configuration advantage rather than a workload-specific quirk.

In Cinebench R15, the V3C14 scores 1017 points in the multi-core test against the 5475U's 974 points, a 4.4% advantage. The single-core test tells the same story, with scores of 143 and 137 respectively, again a 4.4% delta. This pattern repeats exactly in Cinebench R20, where the V3C14 posts 4241 multi-core and 598 single-core, versus 4062 and 573 for the 5475U. The delta remains at 4.4% in both cases.

The most demanding test, Cinebench R23, shows the V3C14 reaching 10099 points in multi-core, crossing the ten-thousand mark, while the 5475U trails at 9673 points. The single-core result is 1425 for the V3C14 against 1365 for the 5475U. Once more, the computed delta is exactly 4.4%. This uniformity across all six benchmarks is notable; it indicates that the performance gap is not sensitive to the specific rendering workload or thread scaling, but is instead a consistent baseline difference.

The average benchmark score reinforces this picture. The V3C14 holds an average score of 2921, placing it 0.3% ahead of the Intel Xeon E-2186M and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 1600, while sitting 0.4% behind the Intel Core i7-9850H and 0.5% behind the Intel Core i5-9600KF. The 5475U, with an average score of 2865, is 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11370H and 0.8% ahead of the Intel Xeon E-2126G, but 0.8% behind the Intel Core i5-11320H and 1% behind the Intel Core i7-6800K. Both CPUs sit at the 51st percentile among all CPUs, indicating they are squarely in the mid-range of overall performance.

It is worth remembering while the V3C14 wins every head-to-head test, the 4.4% margin is relatively modest. The two chips are not in different performance classes; rather, the V3C14 consistently edges out the 5475U by a small but repeatable amount. In practical terms, this would translate to slightly faster rendering times and marginally snappier single-threaded response, but not a transformative difference.

The Verdict

From the data alone, the AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 is the faster processor. It wins all six benchmark comparisons, holds a higher average benchmark score (2921 versus 2865), and posts higher peak scores in every single test. The 4.4% advantage is uniform, meaning there is no scenario in the tested workloads where the Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U offers better performance.

The choice between these two should therefore be driven by platform requirements rather than raw performance. The V3C14 is designated for the Desktop market segment and uses the AMD Socket FP7, while the 5475U is a Mobile part on the AMD Socket FP6. The V3C14 supports DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, whereas the 5475U supports DDR4 with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The V3C14 also offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, compared to the 5475U's PCIe Gen 3 with 8 lanes. If a system requires the newer memory standard, higher PCIe bandwidth, or ECC memory support — which the V3C14 provides and the 5475U lacks — then the Embedded part is the clear pick despite its slightly higher performance.

For a mobile or low-power application where the integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics of the 5475U are needed, and where DDR4 and PCIe Gen 3 are sufficient, the 5475U remains a viable option. Its performance is only 4.4% behind in the tested benchmarks, and it includes integrated graphics, which the V3C14 does not list. The 5475U also has a higher base clock of 2.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.10 GHz, compared to 2.30 GHz and 3.80 GHz for the V3C14, yet it still loses in every benchmark. This suggests the V3C14's Zen 3+ architecture on a 6 nm process extracts more performance per clock than the 5475U's Zen 3 architecture on a 7 nm process.

The production status for both is listed as Active, so neither is being phased out. The release dates show the 5475U came first, on April 18, 2022, with the V3C14 following on September 26, 2022. Given the data, the V3C14 is the better choice for any application where its platform features are compatible, as it offers both superior benchmark scores and a more modern feature set.

ECC memory support is present on the V3C14 but absent on the 5475U. PCIe configuration differs, with the V3C14 offering Gen 4 with 20 lanes and the 5475U offering Gen 3 with 8 lanes.

The market segment is Desktop for the V3C14 and Mobile for the 5475U. The release dates are September 26, 2022 for the V3C14 and April 18, 2022 for the 5475U. The part numbers are 100-000000557 for the V3C14 and 100-000000587 for the 5475U. The 5475U lists integrated graphics as Radeon Vega 6, while the V3C14 does not list integrated graphics.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divergence is significant. The V3C14 uses the Zen 3+ architecture with the codename Rembrandt, while the 5475U uses the Zen 3 architecture with the codename Cezanne-U. The generation labels reflect this: the V3C14 is listed as Ryzen Embedded (Zen 3+ (Rembrandt)), and the 5475U is listed as Ryzen 3 (Zen 3 (Cezanne)).

The process node differs, with the V3C14 manufactured on a 6 nm process and the 5475U on a 7 nm process, both by TSMC. The 5475U has listed transistor count of 10,700 million and a die size of 180 mm², while the V3C14 does not provide these figures. The 5475U also has a series designation of "5000 series," which the V3C14 lacks.

The cache hierarchy is identical: both have 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The memory bus is dual-channel for both. The 5475U includes integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics, while the V3C14 lists no integrated graphics. The 5475U supports a higher base and boost clock, but the V3C14's Zen 3+ architecture on a smaller process node delivers higher benchmark scores across the board.
