AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS vs Intel Xeon E-2274G Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data shows a decisive overall victory for the AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS, which claims three of the four head-to-head comparisons. The largest margin comes in Cinebench R15 multicore, where the AMD processor scores 1700.5 against the Intel Xeon E-2274G’s 835, a staggering 103.7% advantage. That is more than double the Intel part’s output, and it reflects the fundamental difference in core count and thread count between the two designs.

The AMD chip also wins Cinebench R15 singlecore, though by a much narrower margin. It scores 186.5 versus 117, a 59.4% lead. This is notable because the Xeon E-2274G has a substantially higher boost clock of 4.90 GHz, yet the Zen 2 architecture still manages to outperform it in this older rendering test. The result suggests that the AMD part’s architectural efficiency per clock is significantly better, at least in this workload.

In Geekbench multicore, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS again takes the win, scoring 7019 against the Xeon’s 5174. That works out to a 35.7% advantage. While this is a smaller margin than the Cinebench R15 multicore result, it is still a comfortable lead, and it reinforces the pattern that the AMD processor’s extra cores and threads translate into substantial multi-threaded performance gains.

The one bright spot for Intel is Geekbench singlecore, where the Xeon E-2274G scores 1586 versus the AMD chip’s 1320. The delta is -16.8%, meaning the Intel part is ahead by that margin. This is the only head-to-head test that Intel wins, and it aligns with the Xeon’s higher base clock of 4.00 GHz and boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The Intel processor also has additional Cinebench R20 and R23 results in the database, but no comparable scores exist for the AMD part, so those cannot be compared directly.

Looking at the broader database context, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS carries an average benchmark score of 2557 and sits at the 49th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS, which scores 2573 and edges it out by 0.6%, and the Intel Core i3-10325, which scores 2530 and trails by 1.1%. The Intel Xeon E-2274G has a slightly higher average benchmark score of 2643, also at the 49th percentile, with its nearest rival being the Intel Core i7-7740X at 2648, a 0.2% gap. So while the head-to-head results favor AMD heavily, the overall average scores place both processors at roughly the same percentile tier.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two processors is wide. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS is built on TSMC’s 7 nm process node, while the Intel Xeon E-2274G uses Intel’s 14 nm node. That process difference helps explain the power and efficiency disparity: the AMD part has a TDP of 45 watts, whereas the Intel Xeon is rated at 83 watts. Despite drawing nearly twice the power, the Intel chip still loses most benchmark comparisons.

The core configurations are also very different. The AMD processor packs 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Xeon offers 4 cores and 8 threads. That is a 2x advantage in core count and thread count for AMD, which directly drives the multicore benchmark results. The Intel part fights back with higher clocks: a 4.00 GHz base and 4.90 GHz boost, compared to the AMD part’s 2.90 GHz base and 4.20 GHz boost. The Intel chip’s 0.70 GHz boost advantage is substantial, but it only translates into a single benchmark win in Geekbench singlecore.

Cache hierarchies differ as well. Both processors have 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The difference lies in L2 cache: the AMD part has 512 KB per core, while the Intel part has 256 KB per core. The AMD processor’s larger L2 could contribute to its strong performance in multi-threaded workloads, especially those that benefit from per-core cache capacity.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS supports both DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory, while the Intel Xeon E-2274G supports only DDR4. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, but the AMD part has a higher memory bandwidth rating of 51.2 GB/s versus the Intel part’s 42.7 GB/s. The Intel Xeon does support ECC memory, while the AMD part does not, which matters for workstation and server reliability use cases.

The AMD processor is a mobile part, using the AMD Socket FP6, and it includes integrated Radeon Graphics with 448 shader processors. The Intel Xeon E-2274G is a server and workstation part on Intel Socket 1151, with integrated HD Graphics P630. Both use PCIe Gen 3, but the Intel part specifies 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel Xeon carries a launch MSRP of $328. The AMD processor was released in January 2020, while the Intel processor came out in May 2019. The Intel part is now end-of-life, while the AMD part remains active in production.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear division of roles. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS is the stronger multi-threaded performer by a wide margin, winning Cinebench R15 multicore by 103.7% and Geekbench multicore by 35.7%. For workloads that scale across cores, such as rendering, compilation, or other parallel tasks, the AMD part is the obvious choice based on the recorded measurements.

The Intel Xeon E-2274G, on the other hand, takes the single-threaded crown in Geekbench, leading by 16.8%. It also has higher base and boost clocks, which can benefit lightly threaded applications that depend on raw clock speed. The Xeon’s ECC memory support is another differentiator that may be decisive for users who require error-correcting memory in a workstation or server environment.

The average benchmark scores tell a more nuanced story. The Intel Xeon E-2274G has an average score of 2643, which is slightly higher than the AMD part’s 2557, a gap of roughly 3.4%. Both sit at the 49th percentile of all CPUs. This suggests that in mixed workloads, the Intel part’s single-thread advantage partially offsets the AMD part’s multi-thread dominance.

Given the head-to-head results, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS is the better all-around performer in the tests where both were measured. The Intel Xeon E-2274G retains relevance for single-threaded tasks and ECC memory scenarios, but the AMD part wins the majority of direct comparisons.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS is the clear winner in multi-threaded workloads. Its 103.7% lead in Cinebench R15 multicore and 35.7% lead in Geekbench multicore demonstrate that the 8-core, 16-thread configuration delivers far better parallel performance than the 4-core, 8-thread Intel part. The AMD chip also wins Cinebench R15 singlecore by 59.4%, which means it is not merely a multi-core specialist; it also handles single-threaded rendering tasks well. The 45-watt TDP is another point in its favor, especially for mobile or power-constrained systems.

The Intel Xeon E-2274G wins in Geekbench singlecore, with a 16.8% advantage. Its 4.90 GHz boost clock and 4.00 GHz base clock give it a clock-speed edge that shows up in this particular single-threaded test. The Xeon also supports ECC memory, which is a feature the AMD part lacks, and it has a higher average benchmark score overall at 2643 versus 2557. For users who prioritize single-threaded application performance and need ECC memory, the Intel part has a defined role.

The use-case split is straightforward. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS is the pick for rendering, content creation, and any workload that uses many threads. The Intel Xeon E-2274G is the pick for single-threaded performance and ECC memory requirements, particularly in workstation or server environments. The data supports both choices, depending on which workload matters more.
