AMD Ryzen 7 2800H vs AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a consistent, if narrow, advantage for the AMD Ryzen 7 2800H across every Cinebench workload in the database. The Ryzen 7 2800H wins all six head-to-head comparisons, with the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B trailing by margins that never exceed one percent. This is a pattern of uniform superiority rather than a case of each processor taking different workloads.

In Cinebench R15 multicore, the Ryzen 7 2800H scores 697 against 692 for the Embedded V1756B, a delta of 0.7%. The single-core result in the same test shows a slightly larger gap: 98 versus 97, a 1% advantage for the mobile part. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multicore scores are 2907 and 2884, respectively, a 0.8% delta. The single-core R20 result again shows a 1% lead, with 410 against 406.

The newest workload in the database, Cinebench R23, follows the same trajectory. The Ryzen 7 2800H posts 6922 in multicore, while the Embedded V1756B records 6867, a 0.8% difference. In R23 single-core, the scores are 977 and 969, another 0.8% delta. Across all six tests, the Ryzen 7 2800H never loses a single comparison, yet the largest margin is only 1%. The average benchmark score in the database reinforces this: the Ryzen 7 2800H sits at 2002, while the Embedded V1756B sits at 1986.

These are small deltas, but they are consistent. The Ryzen 7 2800H holds a measurable edge in every recorded workload, which suggests a fundamental performance advantage rather than test-specific noise. The percentile rankings also reflect this: the Ryzen 7 2800H lands in the 45th percentile of all CPUs, while the Embedded V1756B lands in the 44th. Neither processor is a high-flyer in the broader market, but the Ryzen 7 2800H sits one notch higher.

Where Each One Wins

The data does not offer much room for splitting wins by workload type. The Ryzen 7 2800H wins all six Cinebench tests, covering both single-core and multi-core scenarios across three different Cinebench versions. There is no test in the database where the Embedded V1756B comes out ahead.

For single-threaded tasks, the Ryzen 7 2800H leads by 1% in both Cinebench R15 and R20, and by 0.8% in R23. This is a small but consistent edge in lightly threaded workloads such as older applications, some productivity tools, and general desktop responsiveness. The Embedded V1756B is not far behind, but it never closes the gap.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Ryzen 7 2800H leads by 0.7% in R15, 0.8% in R20, and 0.8% in R23. Rendering, video encoding, and other parallel tasks will favor the Ryzen 7 2800H, though the margin is slim enough that real-world differences would be difficult to perceive without instrumentation. The Embedded V1756B is competitive, but the recorded data places it second in every category.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward: the Ryzen 7 2800H is the pick for both single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The Embedded V1756B does not win any benchmark category in the database. If a workload relies on Cinebench-style rendering performance, the Ryzen 7 2800H is the stronger choice. If a workload is single-threaded, the Ryzen 7 2800H still holds the edge, albeit by a single point in some tests.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the same Zen architecture and are built on the same 14 nm process node at GlobalFoundries. They also share the same socket, AMD Socket FP5, and both support dual-channel DDR4 memory. Neither supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The core and thread counts are identical: 4 cores and 8 threads on each part.

The differences begin with clock speeds. The Ryzen 7 2800H has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 3.80 GHz. The Embedded V1756B has a base clock of 3.25 GHz and a boost clock of 3.60 GHz. The Ryzen 7 2800H is faster on both counts, which explains its consistent benchmark lead.

Cache configurations differ as well. Both processors have 128 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core. The L3 cache, however, is not the same: the Ryzen 7 2800H has 4 MB shared L3, while the Embedded V1756B has only 2 MB shared L3. This is a doubling of L3 capacity for the mobile part, which can help with data reuse in certain workloads.

The integrated graphics also differ. The Ryzen 7 2800H carries Radeon RX Vega 11, while the Embedded V1756B carries Radeon Vega 8. The database does not include graphics benchmarks, so the performance impact cannot be quantified here, but the naming suggests a different GPU configuration.

The die size and transistor count are recorded differently. The Ryzen 7 2800H has a die size of 246 mm², while the Embedded V1756B has a die size of 210 mm². The Embedded V1756B lists 4,950 million transistors, while the Ryzen 7 2800H does not have a recorded transistor count. The TDP is a major differentiator: the Ryzen 7 2800H is rated at 15 watts, while the Embedded V1756B is rated at 45 watts. Despite the higher power envelope, the Embedded V1756B still trails in performance.

The market segments differ as well. The Ryzen 7 2800H is classified as a Mobile part, released on 2018-05-29. The Embedded V1756B is classified as Desktop, released on 2018-02-20. The codenames also differ: the Ryzen 7 2800H is Raven Ridge, while the Embedded V1756B is listed under the Great Horned Owl generation.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear choice for performance: the AMD Ryzen 7 2800H. It wins every benchmark in the database, and it does so with a higher base clock, a higher boost clock, and double the L3 cache. The margins are small, but they are uniform across all six Cinebench tests. The Ryzen 7 2800H also holds a higher average benchmark score, 2002 versus 1986, and a higher percentile ranking, 45th versus 44th.

The Embedded V1756B is not without its own characteristics. It has a higher TDP of 45 watts, which suggests it is designed for sustained operation in embedded environments rather than power-constrained mobile use. It also has a smaller die size at 210 mm² and a recorded transistor count of 4,950 million. But in terms of raw CPU performance, the recorded data places it behind the Ryzen 7 2800H in every category.

For a user prioritizing single-threaded responsiveness, the Ryzen 7 2800H is the better pick. For a user prioritizing multi-threaded rendering, the Ryzen 7 2800H is again the better pick. The Embedded V1756B does not win any benchmark category, so there is no performance-based argument for choosing it over the Ryzen 7 2800H. The choice would have to rest on other factors, such as the embedded market segment designation or the specific power envelope requirements, neither of which is reflected in the benchmark scores.

The Ryzen 7 2800H is the stronger processor in the database. The Embedded V1756B is competitive, but it never overtakes its rival.
