AMD Ryzen 7 3750H vs AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents a split picture between these two AMD parts. In the Cinebench R15 suite, the AMD Ryzen 7 3750H takes decisive wins. Its multicore score of 734 beats the Ryzen Embedded R2514's 603 by 21.7%. The single-core gap is even more pronounced: the 3750H scores 144 against the R2514's 84, a 71.4% advantage. This is the largest delta recorded across all head-to-head tests, indicating a substantial difference in lightly threaded performance under the older benchmark.

However, the Cinebench R23 results tell a different story. The Ryzen Embedded R2514 scores 5984 in multicore, while the 3750H manages 3897. That gives the embedded part a 34.9% lead, the biggest margin in its favor. This is a significant reversal. In R23 single-core, the 3750H returns to the lead with 971 versus 844, a 15% advantage. So the overall win tally stands at three for the 3750H and one for the R2514, but the magnitude of the R2514's multicore R23 victory is substantial.

Contextualizing these scores against the database averages helps clarify the picture. The 3750H has an average benchmark score of 1690, placing it at the 40th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-3770K (average 1688, delta 0.1%), the Intel Core i7-980 (average 1693, delta -0.1%), and the Intel Core i5-4690K (average 1682, delta 0.5%). These are very tight margins, meaning the 3750H sits in a crowded field of older desktop and mobile parts. The R2514, by contrast, averages 1730, which places it at the 41st percentile. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Athlon Gold PRO 3150GE (average 1722, delta 0.5%), the Intel Core i3-1315UE (average 1739, delta -0.5%), and the Intel Core i3-10100 (average 1742, delta -0.7%). The R2514 is effectively neck-and-neck with a modern low-power mobile chip and a budget desktop chip.

The benchmark results indicate that the R2514's R23 multicore performance is an outlier in its favor. While the 3750H wins more individual tests, the R2514's aggregate average score is slightly higher (1730 vs 1690). This suggests that the R2514's performance profile is more consistent with modern multi-threaded workloads, even though its single-core R15 score is notably low. The 3750H, on the other hand, shows strength in both R15 tests and R23 single-core, but lags significantly in R23 multicore. This inconsistency likely reflects differences in how the two chips sustain boost clocks under sustained loads, a factor not visible in the specification sheets alone.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share a common foundation. They are built on the Zen+ architecture with the Picasso codename, fabricated on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries. Both have 4 cores and 8 threads, with identical cache hierarchies: 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The transistor count is the same at 4,940 million, and the die size is identical at 210 mm². They both use the AMD Socket FP5 and support DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The differences begin with clock speeds. The 3750H has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The R2514 operates at a lower 2.10 GHz base and 3.70 GHz boost. This explains the 3750H's consistent single-core advantages across both R15 and R23 tests. The R2514's lower clocks are likely a tradeoff for its dramatically lower thermal design power: 15 watts versus the 3750H's 35 watts. That is a substantial power envelope reduction.

Memory bandwidth also differs. The R2514 lists a memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s, while the 3750H's field is null in the data. While both support DDR4, the R2514's explicit bandwidth figure suggests a more precisely tuned memory controller. ECC memory support is another differentiator: the R2514 supports ECC, the 3750H does not. This aligns with the R2514's embedded market positioning, where data integrity is often critical.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The 3750H features Radeon Vega 10, while the R2514 has Radeon Vega 8. The higher graphics core count on the mobile part is notable, though the benchmark data does not include graphics tests. PCIe support is also distinct: the 3750H lists simply "Gen 3", while the R2514 specifies "Gen 3, 16 Lanes (CPU only)". This indicates the embedded part has a more explicit lane allocation.

Market segment and release timing separate these chips further. The 3750H is a mobile processor released in January 2019. The R2514 is a desktop-class embedded processor released in September 2022. The part numbers differ: the 3750H is YM3700C4T4MFG, while the R2514 has two variants listed, YE2514C4T4MFH and YE2514C4T4MFHA. Both are currently marked as Active in production status.

FAQ

The Verdict

The data points to a clear division of purpose. The AMD Ryzen 7 3750H is the stronger choice for workloads that favor single-threaded responsiveness and older benchmark suites. Its 71.4% lead in R15 single-core and 15% lead in R23 single-core demonstrate a meaningful clock speed advantage (4.00 GHz boost versus 3.70 GHz). For users running legacy applications or lightly threaded tasks, the 3750H is the better performer.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514, despite its lower clocks and lower power envelope, delivers a superior result in Cinebench R23 multicore, scoring 5984 versus 3897. This 34.9% margin is the largest single test difference in the dataset. This suggests the R2514 sustains multi-threaded performance more effectively under load, possibly due to its embedded design priorities. Its higher average benchmark score (1730 vs 1690) and higher percentile ranking (41st vs 40th) reinforce this interpretation.

For embedded applications where ECC memory support is required and power efficiency is critical, the R2514 is the logical choice. Its 15-watt TDP is less than half that of the 3750H's 35-watt rating, and it still manages to outperform in the modern multicore benchmark. For mobile computing where single-core speed and integrated graphics (Vega 10 versus Vega 8) matter more, the 3750H is the better fit. The 3750H's higher boost clock and stronger single-core results make it more suitable for interactive workloads, while the R2514's sustained multicore performance and ECC support target server or industrial scenarios.

A buyer should not assume the 3750H is universally faster based on its three wins. The R2514's R23 multicore dominance is substantial and cannot be dismissed as a minor variation. Conversely, the R2514's R15 single-core score of 84 is exceptionally low, which could be a problem for legacy software that relies on that benchmark's characteristics. The aggregate scores are close (1690 vs 1730), so the choice hinges on workload specifics rather than overall speed.
