CPU Comparison

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the AMD Ryzen 7 5825C wins every single head-to-head test against the Intel Xeon E-2276G, though by a narrow and consistent margin. The Ryzen 7 takes all six comparisons, with a uniform 3.4% advantage across both single-core and multi-core workloads, while the Xeon fails to secure a single victory. This is a rare case where the competitor with a mobile 15W TDP outscores a workstation-class 80W part in every measured metric.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Ryzen 7 5825C’s sweep begins with Cinebench R15, where it posts a multicore score of 1247 against the Xeon’s 1205, a 3.4% gap. The single-core result in the same test follows the identical pattern: 175 for AMD versus 169 for Intel, again a 3.4% delta. This consistency is striking, the deltaPct is exactly -3.4 for every single test in the head-to-head array, indicating the performance relationship between these two chips is scale-invariant across different workloads and rendering engines.

Moving to Cinebench R20, the Ryzen 7 scores 5197 multicore and 733 single-core, while the Xeon E-2276G manages 5021 and 708 respectively. The percentage differences remain locked at 3.4%. The same story repeats in Cinebench R23: AMD’s 12376 multicore and 1747 single-core outpace Intel’s 11957 and 1688. The uniformity of the 3.4% margin across six different tests, spanning three Cinebench versions and both single and multi-threaded modes, suggests this is a fundamental architectural efficiency advantage rather than a workload-specific quirk.

Notably, there are no Geekbench scores listed in the head-to-head array, despite both chips having Geekbench entries in their individual benchmark lists. The Intel Xeon E-2276G shows Geekbench multicore of 6551 and single-core of 1610, but these are not compared directly here. The available data focuses exclusively on Cinebench, where AMD’s dominance is total. The wins tally confirms this: AMD has 6 wins, Intel has 0.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 7 5825C wins everywhere the data measures. In multi-threaded rendering, its 8 cores and 16 threads give it a structural advantage over the Xeon’s 6 cores and 12 threads, and the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12376 versus 11957 reflects that. The AMD chip’s higher core count is paired with a larger 16 MB shared L3 cache versus Intel’s 12 MB, and a 512 KB per-core L2 versus Intel’s 256 KB, which helps feed those extra threads.

The single-core results are more telling because they remove the core-count advantage. Here the Ryzen 7 still leads, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1747 against Intel’s 1688. This points to the Zen 3 architecture’s instruction-per-clock efficiency, even though the Xeon has a considerably higher boost clock of 4.90 GHz compared to AMD’s 4.50 GHz. The Xeon’s higher clock speed cannot overcome the architectural deficit, AMD achieves a 3.4% single-core win despite a 0.40 GHz clock disadvantage.

For the Intel Xeon E-2276G, there are no benchmark wins to highlight. Its only potential advantages lie outside the measured tests: it supports ECC memory, while the Ryzen 7 does not, and it has a PCIe Gen 3 implementation with 16 CPU lanes versus AMD’s 8 lanes. These are platform features, not performance wins, and the data shows no scenario where the Xeon comes out ahead in rendering workloads.

The Verdict

Pick the AMD Ryzen 7 5825C if you prioritize raw processing performance in Cinebench-class workloads. It wins every single benchmark in the comparison, with a consistent 3.4% margin across both single-core and multi-core tests. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 16 MB of L3 cache delivers higher scores across the board, and its 7 nm TSMC process node allows this performance at a 15W TDP, a fraction of the Intel chip’s 80W TDP. The Ryzen 7 is also an active production part, while the Xeon E-2276G is end-of-life.

Pick the Intel Xeon E-2276G if you need specific platform features that the data shows the AMD chip lacks. The Xeon supports ECC memory, which the Ryzen 7 does not, making it suitable for error-correcting memory configurations in server or workstation environments. It also offers 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes from the CPU versus AMD’s 8, which could matter for expansion-heavy builds. The Xeon’s higher boost clock of 4.90 GHz is the only clock-speed advantage, though it does not translate into a benchmark win. Its launch MSRP is $362, but the Ryzen 7 has no listed launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The two CPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Xeon E-2276G uses the Coffee Lake architecture, specifically the Coffee Lake-S WS codename, built on a 14 nm process at Intel’s own foundry. Its die size is 154 mm². The AMD Ryzen 7 5825G uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne-U codename, manufactured on TSMC’s 7 nm process, with a die size of 180 mm² and 10,700 million transistors. The AMD chip is built on a newer, denser process node, which helps explain its performance-per-watt advantage.

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. Both have 64 KB of L1 cache per core, but the AMD chip has 512 KB of L2 per core versus Intel’s 256 KB. The shared L3 also favors AMD: 16 MB versus Intel’s 12 MB. Neither chip uses 3D V-Cache. The memory controllers are both dual-channel DDR4, but AMD’s memory bandwidth is rated higher at 51.2 GB/s versus Intel’s 42.7 GB/s.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The Intel Xeon E-2276G includes HD Graphics P630, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5825C includes Radeon Vega 8. The market segments are also distinct: Intel targets Server/Workstation, while AMD targets Mobile. The AMD chip is a Cezanne-U part designed for low-power mobile systems, which explains its 15W TDP despite having more cores.

Specification Differences

The most glaring specification gap is TDP: the AMD Ryzen 7 5825C draws 15W, while the Intel Xeon E-2276G draws 80W. Despite this, AMD delivers higher benchmark scores. Core counts differ as noted: 8 cores/16 threads for AMD versus 6 cores/12 threads for Intel. Clock speeds favor Intel in boost: 4.90 GHz versus AMD’s 4.50 GHz, but Intel’s base clock is also higher at 3.80 GHz versus AMD’s 2000.00 MHz.

Sockets are incompatible: Intel uses Socket 1151, AMD uses Socket FP6. The process node favors AMD at 7 nm versus Intel’s 14 nm. Cache differs: AMD has 512 KB L2 per core and 16 MB shared L3, Intel has 256 KB L2 per core and 12 MB shared L3. Memory bandwidth is higher on AMD at 51.2 GB/s versus 42.7 GB/s. PCIe lanes favor Intel with 16 CPU lanes versus AMD’s 8, both at Gen 3. ECC memory is supported only on Intel. Integrated graphics are different models. Production status differs: AMD is Active, Intel is End-of-life. Release dates are 2022-05-04 for AMD and 2019-05-28 for Intel. Intel has a launch MSRP of $362; AMD has none listed. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.
