AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains recorded results for the AMD Ryzen 5 150 across eleven PassMark tests, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X currently has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible; the available data permits only a profile of the Ryzen 5 150 and a specification-level contrast with the Embedded 9950X.

Looking at the Ryzen 5 150’s recorded results, the strongest absolute score appears in the data compression test, where it reaches 211,289. This is by far its largest single-workload score, indicating that the processor handles compression workloads efficiently. The next highest scores are in integer math at 62,151 and floating point math at 35,118. Random string sorting follows at 22,382, while extended instructions score 14,675 and data encryption scores 13,425. The multithread score is 17,492, and the single-thread score is 3,155 (recorded under both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, with identical values). Physics scores 806, and the find prime numbers test scores 47.

The average benchmark score across all recorded tests for the Ryzen 5 150 is 34,881. The nearest rivals in the database, based on average scores, are the Intel Xeon 6349P at 34,890 (a delta of 0%), the Intel Core 7 253PTE at 34,962 (delta of -0.2%), the Intel Core i7-13800H at 34,988 (delta of -0.3%), and the Intel Core i9-12900HX at 35,003 (delta of -0.3%). These deltas are extremely small, all within a fraction of a percent of the Ryzen 5 150’s average. The data shows the Ryzen 5 150 sits in a tight cluster with these four Intel parts; the largest recorded gap is just 0.3% behind the Core i9-12900HX.

The Ryzen 5 150 achieves an 84th percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database. This means that in the recorded distribution of average scores, it outperforms the majority of processors, though it is not at the very top tier. The Embedded 9950X, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking and has an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of any recorded measurements.

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and neither winsA nor winsB shows a recorded win, the quantitative comparison must rely on the specification fields rather than workload scores. The Ryzen 5 150’s recorded scores establish its performance class, but the Embedded 9950X’s lack of data prevents any direct measurement of which processor wins individual tests.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Ryzen 5 150 is a fully benchmarked mobile processor with a clear performance profile: an 84th percentile ranking, an average score of 34,881, and nearest rivals within 0.3% in either direction. Its 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with a 35 W TDP, place it in a lower-power segment, and its benchmark results confirm it competes closely with mid-to-high-end Intel mobile and workstation parts from the Xeon and Core families.

The Embedded 9950X, however, has no benchmark scores in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking appears to reflect the absence of data rather than a measured performance level, and its average score of zero confirms that no workload results are available. Consequently, the database cannot support a verdict that one processor outperforms the other in any specific test.

For a user choosing strictly from the data, the Ryzen 5 150 is the only option with verified benchmark results. The Embedded 9950X offers a specification sheet that indicates a higher core count, higher clock speeds, and a newer architecture, but without recorded measurements, its actual performance remains unquantified in this database. The data supports selecting the Ryzen 5 150 for any workload where a measured benchmark score is required, while the Embedded 9950X can only be assessed on its listed specifications.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 5 150 is built on the Zen 3+ architecture, with the codename Rembrandt-R, and is part of the Ryzen 5 generation (Zen 3+ (Rembrandt)). The Embedded 9950X uses the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Granite Ridge, belonging to the Ryzen Embedded generation (Zen 5 (Granite Ridge)).

The process node differs: the Ryzen 5 150 uses a 6 nm process, while the Embedded 9950X uses a 4 nm process. Both are fabricated by TSMC. Die size is listed as 210 mm² for the Ryzen 5 150, while the Embedded 9950X uses a dual-die configuration listed as 2x 70.6 mm². The Embedded 9950X also lists a transistor count of 16,630 million; the Ryzen 5 150 does not have a recorded transistor count.

Cache structures differ significantly. The Ryzen 5 150 has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Embedded 9950X has 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 64 MB L3. No 3D V-Cache is listed for either processor.

The Ryzen 5 150’s architecture is older (Zen 3+) and uses a smaller L3 cache, while the Embedded 9950X’s Zen 5 architecture provides larger per-core caches and a larger total L3. The Embedded 9950X also supports ECC memory and PCIe Gen 5, while the Ryzen 5 150 does not support ECC and uses PCIe Gen 4. The Ryzen 5 150 integrates Radeon 660M graphics, whereas the Embedded 9950X lists only Radeon Graphics without a specific model.

Where Each One Wins

Based on recorded data, the Ryzen 5 150 wins in every benchmark category where measurements exist, simply because the Embedded 9950X has no recorded scores. The Ryzen 5 150’s strengths are visible in its workload breakdown: data compression at 211,289, integer math at 62,151, and floating point math at 35,118. These scores indicate a processor well-suited to compute-heavy tasks that rely on integer and floating point arithmetic, as well as compression workloads.

The Ryzen 5 150’s 84th percentile ranking and its proximity to Intel rivals (all within 0.3%) suggest it competes effectively in the mobile segment. Its 35 W TDP and 6-core configuration indicate a power-conscious design, which may favor thermally constrained environments, though the database does not include power efficiency metrics.

The Embedded 9950X, on the other hand, has no benchmark wins to claim from recorded data. Its specification sheet suggests advantages in core count (16 vs 6), threads (32 vs 12), base clock (4.30 vs 3.30 GHz), boost clock (5.70 vs 4.55 GHz), L3 cache (64 MB vs 16 MB), memory bandwidth (89.6 vs 76.8 GB/s), and PCIe generation (Gen 5 vs Gen 4). It also supports ECC memory and has an unlocked multiplier. These specifications point to a processor designed for higher-throughput desktop or server-adjacent workloads, but without measured scores, the database cannot confirm how these specifications translate into performance.

For a workload-based selection, the Ryzen 5 150 is the only processor with verified results. For a specification-based selection, the Embedded 9950X offers a larger core count, higher clocks, more cache, and newer I/O, but the data does not quantify its performance. The database supports the Ryzen 5 150 for any task where a measured benchmark is required, while the Embedded 9950X remains an unverified entry whose actual capabilities are unknown from the recorded data.
