Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B and the AMD Ryzen 5 2600H both belong to AMD's Zen architecture family, but they represent different generations within that family. The V1756B is part of the 1000 series, with the generation listed as "Ryzen Embedded (Zen (Great Horned Owl))". The 2600H is part of the 2000 series, with the generation listed as "Ryzen 5 (Zen (Raven Ridge))". Despite the generational naming difference, both processors are built on the same 14 nm process node at GlobalFoundries, with identical transistor counts of 4,950 million and identical die sizes of 210 mm².

The two chips share the same core and thread configuration: 4 cores and 8 threads each. Both have a 45 W TDP and are locked, with no unlocked multiplier. Neither processor supports ECC memory, and both support DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The 2600H explicitly lists a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while the V1756B does not have a recorded memory bandwidth figure in the database.

Cache layouts differ noticeably. The V1756B has 128 KB of L1 cache per core, while the 2600H has 96 KB of L1 cache per core. Both have 512 KB of L2 cache per core. The shared L3 cache is where the larger difference appears: the V1756B has 2 MB shared, whereas the 2600H has 4 MB shared, double the L3 capacity.

The socket is identical: AMD Socket FP5. Both chips integrate Radeon Vega 8 graphics. The 2600H records a PCIe specification of "Gen 3, 8 Lanes (CPU only)", while the V1756B has no PCIe data in the database. The market segments differ: the V1756B is classified as a Desktop processor, while the 2600H is classified as a Mobile processor. The V1756B was released on 2018-02-20, and the 2600H was released on 2018-09-09, roughly seven months later. The 2600H has a part number, YM2600C3T4MFB, while the V1756B has no recorded part number.

The Verdict

The benchmark data shows a consistent, though narrow, advantage for the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B across every recorded test. In all six Cinebench workloads, the V1756B is the winner, with delta percentages ranging from 0.7% to 1%. The average benchmark score also favors the V1756B: 1986 versus 1967 for the 2600H, a difference of roughly 1%.

Given this pattern, the V1756B is the choice for users who want the highest recorded performance in both single-core and multi-core Cinebench workloads. Its wins are uniform, and its average score places it slightly ahead of its rival. The 2600H, however, offers double the L3 cache (4 MB versus 2 MB), which could matter in workloads that are sensitive to cache capacity, even though the recorded benchmark results do not show a performance benefit from that cache in Cinebench tests.

Users selecting between these two should also weigh the market segment classification: the V1756B is a Desktop part, while the 2600H is a Mobile part. Both carry the same 45 W TDP and same socket, so platform compatibility may be similar, but the intended use case differs according to the database. For applications that follow the recorded Cinebench scores, the V1756B is the faster part. For embedded or mobile designs where the extra L3 cache is considered valuable, the 2600H remains a viable alternative, but the measurement data does not show it winning any of the six head-to-head benchmarks.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table covers six Cinebench workloads, and the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B wins all six. The margins are small but consistent.

In Cinebench R15 multicore, the V1756B scores 692 against 685 for the 2600H, a 1% lead. In Cinebench R15 singlecore, the V1756B scores 97 against 96, also a 1% lead. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multicore test shows the V1756B at 2884 versus 2856, again a 1% difference. The R20 singlecore test shows 406 versus 403, a 0.7% lead for the V1756B. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the V1756B scores 6867 against 6801, a 1% lead. Finally, in Cinebench R23 singlecore, the V1756B scores 969 against 960, a 0.9% lead.

The average benchmark scores reinforce this picture. The V1756B averages 1986, while the 2600H averages 1967. Both processors sit at the 44th percentile versus all CPUs, indicating they occupy the same performance tier in the database. The nearest rivals for the V1756B include the Intel Core i5-8279U at an average score of 1987 with a 0% delta, the Intel Xeon E3-1585L v5 at 1989 with a -0.2% delta, the Intel Xeon E3-1285L v4 at 1991 with a -0.2% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 1500X at 1992 with a -0.3% delta. For the 2600H, the nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 2300X at 1968 with a -0.1% delta, the Intel Xeon D-2712T at 1964 with a 0.2% delta, the Intel Core i7-10810U at 1971 with a -0.2% delta, and the Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5 at 1973 with a -0.3% delta.

The data indicates that the V1756B is marginally faster in every measured workload, but the differences are small enough that real-world application performance would likely be very similar. The largest margin in any single test is just 1%, which is within typical run-to-run variance for many benchmarks.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded benchmark wins, the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B is the stronger performer in all six head-to-head tests. Every Cinebench workload, whether single-core or multi-core, R15, R20, or R23, goes to the V1756B. The V1756B also holds the higher average benchmark score at 1986, and it holds a slight base clock advantage at 3.25 GHz versus 3.20 GHz. For users looking at the database for the highest Cinebench scores, the V1756B is the clear winner.

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600H does not win any of the six head-to-head benchmarks. However, it does have advantages in cache capacity, with 4 MB of shared L3 cache versus 2 MB for the V1756B. It also has a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, a figure not listed for the V1756B. For workloads that are highly dependent on L3 cache size or memory bandwidth, the 2600H could be the preferred choice, even though the Cinebench measurements do not show a benefit in those specific tests. The 2600H is also classified as a Mobile part, which could make it a better fit for mobile platform designs despite the V1756B's benchmark lead. The 2600H also has a recorded PCIe Gen 3 specification with 8 lanes, while the V1756B has no recorded PCIe data at all. In summary, the V1756B wins on measured performance in the database, while the 2600H wins on cache capacity, memory bandwidth data, and mobile classification.
