AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U vs Intel Xeon D-1567 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits this comparison into a clear pattern: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U wins every single head-to-head test recorded in the database, across both single-core and multi-core workloads. The six recorded Cinebench tests all favor the AMD part, with deltas ranging from 0.7% to 1.1%. That is a narrow but consistent margin.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U takes the single-core crown by a small but repeatable amount. In Cinebench R15 single-core, it scores 137 versus 136, a 0.7% advantage. In R20 single-core, it posts 573 against 567, a 1.1% edge. In R23 single-core, the AMD chip records 1365 versus 1352, a 1% lead. These are not transformative gaps, but they hold across every iteration of the Cinebench suite.

Multi-core results tell a similar story. The AMD part wins Cinebench R15 multi-core with 974 versus 965 (0.9%), R20 multi-core with 4062 versus 4022 (1%), and R23 multi-core with 9673 versus 9578 (1%). The Intel Xeon D-1567 has three times the core count and three times the thread count, yet it cannot overcome the per-core efficiency of the Zen 3 architecture in these tests. The data suggests that raw core count does not automatically translate into a multi-core win when the architectural efficiency gap is large enough.

The Xeon D-1567 does not have a single recorded benchmark victory in this direct comparison. Its wins would have to come from characteristics not captured in these six tests, such as ECC memory support, a server/ workstation market segment, or a 65 watt TDP that allows for different system design priorities. The recorded performance data, however, shows the AMD mobile processor ahead everywhere.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne-U codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Xeon D-1567 uses the Broadwell architecture (Broadwell-DE), fabricated on Intel's 14 nm process with 3,200 million transistors and a 246 mm² die. The process node difference alone explains a great deal of the efficiency gap: 7 nm versus 14 nm is a generational leap in transistor density and power scaling.

Core counts diverge sharply. The AMD part has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel part has 12 cores and 24 threads. The Xeon's thread count is triple that of the Ryzen. Cache layouts also differ. The Ryzen has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Xeon has 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 1.5 MB of L3 per core. The Xeon's L3 is per-core rather than shared, which changes how cache is allocated across the 12 physical cores.

Memory support splits along product lines. The Ryzen supports DDR4 only, dual-channel, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and no ECC. The Xeon supports both DDR3 and DDR4, dual-channel, with ECC memory enabled. The Xeon also offers more PCIe lanes: 24 lanes of Gen 3 versus 8 lanes of Gen 3 on the AMD part. The Ryzen includes integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics, while the Xeon has no integrated graphics at all. The Ryzen targets the mobile segment with a 15 watt TDP and an AMD Socket FP6. The Xeon targets server and workstation systems with a 65 watt TDP and an Intel BGA 1667 socket.

Release dates reflect the generational gap. The Xeon D-1567 launched on 2016-02-23, while the Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U launched on 2022-04-18. Six years of architectural evolution separate the two, which shows up directly in the benchmark scores despite the Xeon's massive core advantage.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every major specification category. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Xeon D-1567 has 12 cores and 24 threads. Base clocks differ: 2.70 GHz for the AMD versus 2.10 GHz for the Intel. Boost clocks differ even more: 4.10 GHz for the AMD versus 2.70 GHz for the Intel. The AMD part has a 15 watt TDP, the Intel part a 65 watt TDP.

The process nodes are generations apart: 7 nm (TSMC) for AMD versus 14 nm (Intel) for the Xeon. Transistor counts reflect this: 10,700 million for the AMD versus 3,200 million for the Intel. Die sizes also differ: 180 mm² for the AMD versus 246 mm² for the Intel. L2 cache is 512 KB per core on the AMD versus 256 KB per core on the Intel. L3 cache is 8 MB shared on the AMD versus 1.5 MB per core on the Intel.

Memory support diverges: the AMD supports DDR4 only, the Intel supports DDR3 and DDR4. The AMD has a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s; the Intel's is not listed. ECC memory is supported only on the Intel. PCIe lanes differ: 8 lanes (Gen 3) on the AMD versus 24 lanes (Gen 3) on the Intel. The AMD has integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics; the Intel has none. The AMD targets mobile with an FP6 socket; the Intel targets server/workstation with a BGA 1667 socket. The AMD launched on 2022-04-18, the Intel on 2016-02-23. The Intel has a launch MSRP of 1199, which can be stated once as its launch MSRP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The six recorded head-to-head tests all land in the AMD's favor, but the margins tell a nuanced story. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the AMD scores 974 versus 965, a 0.9% win. That is a narrow margin for a processor with one-third the cores. The single-core R15 test shows 137 versus 136, a 0.7% edge. These small deltas suggest that the Zen 3 core is substantially faster per thread than the Broadwell core.

Cinebench R20 amplifies the pattern slightly. Multi-core: 4062 versus 4022, a 1% win for the AMD. Single-core: 573 versus 567, a 1.1% win. The single-core margin is the largest of any test in the set, reinforcing the per-core performance advantage of the newer architecture.

Cinebench R23 shows the same consistency. Multi-core: 9673 versus 9578, a 1% win. Single-core: 1365 versus 1352, a 1% win. Across all three Cinebench versions, the AMD processor wins by roughly one percentage point in every single test. The Xeon's 12 cores and 24 threads cannot close a gap that small, which indicates that the Zen 3 architecture at 7 nm delivers far more performance per watt and per clock than Broadwell at 14 nm.

The average benchmark scores put this in context. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U has an average score of 2865, while the Intel Xeon D-1567 has an average score of 2770. That is a 3.4% difference in the database's aggregate metric, which captures more than just the six Cinebench tests. Both processors sit at the 51st percentile among all CPUs, meaning they occupy nearly the same performance tier despite their radically different core counts and market segments.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion for performance-focused workloads: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U is the faster processor in every benchmark the database records. It wins all six Cinebench tests, across both single-core and multi-core, with margins between 0.7% and 1.1%. Users who prioritize raw benchmark scores should choose the AMD part, especially if their workloads are single-threaded or lightly threaded, where the 4.10 GHz boost clock and Zen 3 efficiency shine.

The Intel Xeon D-1567 is not without its reasons to exist. It offers 12 cores and 24 threads, ECC memory support, DDR3 and DDR4 compatibility, 24 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, and a server/workstation market segment. It carries a 65 watt TDP, which is higher than the AMD's 15 watts but within the range of socketed server platforms. The Xeon's launch MSRP is 1199, a figure that reflects its enterprise positioning. For systems that require ECC memory, extensive PCIe connectivity, or the reliability standards of a server platform, the Xeon remains the appropriate choice despite its benchmark deficit.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U, by contrast, wins on efficiency and per-core performance. It pulls this off with 4 cores, 8 threads, a 15 watt TDP, and integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics. It supports DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, uses 8 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, and targets the mobile segment. The trade-off is clear: no ECC support, fewer PCIe lanes, and a lower core count. For mobile workstations or compact systems that do not need server-grade reliability features, the AMD part is the faster option according to every recorded measurement.

The verdict from the database is straightforward. If the workload is benchmark-visible and performance is the sole criterion, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5475U wins across the board. If the workload demands ECC memory, high PCIe lane counts, or a server-class feature set, the Intel Xeon D-1567 remains a viable alternative, but the recorded performance data shows the AMD part ahead in every direct comparison.
