AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G vs Intel Core i9-11900T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents a fascinating split between these two 8-core, 16-thread processors. Across the eight benchmark comparisons, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G claims six wins, while the Intel Core i9-11900T takes two, but the margin of victory tells a more nuanced story than the raw win count.

Starting with the Cinebench suite, the AMD part demonstrates consistent superiority across every rendering workload. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G scores 1734 against the Intel's 1572, a 9.3% advantage. The single-core R15 test shows a similar pattern: 244 versus 221, again a 9.4% gap. Moving to Cinebench R20, the AMD processor extends its lead with 7225 multicore points versus 6550, and 1019 single-core points versus 924, both representing 9.3% margins. The trend continues in Cinebench R23, where the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G records 17204 multicore and 2428 single-core, compared to the Intel's 15596 and 2201, maintaining that consistent 9.3% delta.

These results indicate a uniform performance advantage in the Cinebench family of tests. The AMD chip does not merely win by a rounding error; it wins by nearly ten percentage points across the board, suggesting a fundamental efficiency advantage in these rendering workloads.

The Geekbench results, however, invert the narrative entirely. In Geekbench multicore, the Intel Core i9-11900T scores 8257 against the AMD's 7547, a 9.4% victory for Intel. The Geekbench single-core test is even more lopsided: Intel scores 2157 against AMD's 1628, a commanding 32.5% advantage. This is the largest delta recorded in any head-to-head comparison between the two chips.

What explains such a dramatic reversal? The Geekbench suite appears to favor the Intel architecture's higher boost clock of 4.90 GHz, while the Cinebench suite may reward the AMD's superior instructions-per-clock efficiency at lower frequencies. The Intel's 32.5% single-core Geekbench win is particularly striking given that the AMD chip wins the Cinebench single-core tests by 9.3%. Different workloads clearly stress different aspects of the microarchitecture.

Looking at the broader database context, the Intel Core i9-11900T holds a 58th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G sits at the 59th percentile. Their average benchmark scores are 4685 and 4879 respectively, placing the AMD part slightly ahead in the aggregate. The AMD's nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon Gold 5315Y (0.2% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 7 4700GE (0.9% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS (1.1% behind). Meanwhile, the Intel's closest competitors are the Intel Core i9-10900F (0.5% behind), the Intel Core i9-10900E (0.5% ahead), and the Intel Core i9-9900KF (0.7% behind).

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Core i9-11900T belongs to the Rocket Lake generation, built on Intel's 14 nm process node with a die size of 276 mm². The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G uses the Zen 2 architecture, manufactured by TSMC on a 7 nm process with a die size of 156 mm². The AMD chip integrates 9,800 million transistors, while the Intel part's transistor count is not recorded in the database.

The cache hierarchies also diverge significantly. The Intel processor offers 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 per core, matching the AMD's L2 configuration. However, the Intel's L3 cache is 16 MB shared, double the AMD's 8 MB. This larger L3 cache may contribute to the Intel's strong Geekbench single-core performance, as more data can reside closer to the cores.

Clock speeds tell a contrasting story. The Intel i9-11900T has a base clock of 1500 MHz but boosts to 4.90 GHz, an aggressive boost strategy that likely drives its single-core wins. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G starts at 3600 MHz base and boosts to 4.40 GHz. The AMD's higher base clock suggests sustained all-core performance, while the Intel's higher boost clock targets bursty single-threaded workloads.

The power envelopes differ substantially. The Intel part carries a 35 W TDP, remarkably low for an 8-core processor. The AMD chip is rated at 65 W TDP. This nearly two-fold difference in thermal design power may explain why the AMD consistently wins the Cinebench multicore tests: it has more thermal headroom to sustain high clocks across all cores. The Intel's 35 W envelope requires aggressive frequency scaling, which could limit sustained multicore performance.

Platform support also differs. The Intel uses Socket 1200 with PCIe Gen 4 (20 lanes CPU-only), while the AMD uses Socket AM4 with PCIe Gen 3 (16 lanes CPU-only). The Intel's newer PCIe standard offers greater bandwidth for compatible devices, though the practical impact depends on the workload.

Memory support is largely equivalent: both support DDR4 in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The AMD part supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the Intel chip. This makes the AMD more suitable for error-sensitive professional workloads.

The integrated graphics differ as well. Intel pairs the i9-11900T with UHD Graphics 750, while AMD includes Radeon Vega 8. The database does not record direct GPU benchmark comparisons, so no quantitative verdict is possible here.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data suggests a clear workload-based separation. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G dominates in rendering and compute-heavy applications represented by the Cinebench suite. Its 9.3% advantage across R15, R20, and R23, in both single and multicore tests, indicates that any workload relying on sustained CPU computation will favor the AMD part. The higher 65 W TDP and 3600 MHz base clock allow the AMD chip to maintain higher frequencies under load, which directly translates to better render times.

The Intel Core i9-11900T wins in the Geekbench suite, particularly the single-core test where it leads by 32.5%. This suggests the Intel chip excels in latency-sensitive, short-burst workloads that benefit from its 4.90 GHz boost clock. Applications like web browsing, office productivity, and lightly threaded legacy software may feel snappier on the Intel platform. The 16 MB L3 cache may also provide an advantage in workloads with moderate data footprints that fit entirely within the larger cache.

The average benchmark scores place the AMD part slightly ahead overall (4879 versus 4685), a 4.1% aggregate advantage. The percentile rankings are nearly identical (59th versus 58th), indicating that both processors occupy a similar tier in the overall CPU landscape.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear choice based on primary use case. For users running rendering workloads, video encoding, software compilation, or any sustained multithreaded computation, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G is the stronger option. Its consistent 9.3% lead across the entire Cinebench family demonstrates a reliable advantage that will translate into measurable time savings. The higher base clock and 65 W TDP allow it to sustain performance where the Intel's 35 W envelope forces frequency reductions.

For users whose workloads resemble the Geekbench patterns, particularly single-threaded responsiveness, the Intel Core i9-11900T holds an undeniable edge. The 32.5% single-core Geekbench lead is the single largest margin recorded in this comparison, and the 9.4% multicore Geekbench win suggests the Intel architecture handles certain workload types exceptionally well.

The Intel processor carries a recorded launch MSRP of $439. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded in the database. The production status differs: the Intel is end-of-life, while the AMD remains active.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G offers ECC memory support, a meaningful feature for professional workstations. The Intel chip's PCIe Gen 4 support provides newer connectivity, though the database does not quantify its real-world impact. The AMD's 7 nm process and 156 mm² die size indicate a more modern manufacturing approach, while the Intel's 14 nm process and 276 mm² die represent an older node pushed to higher boost clocks.

The aggregate data slightly favors the AMD part. Its higher average benchmark score, better Cinebench results across the board, and active production status make it the more balanced recommendation for most users. The Intel chip's specific strengths in Geekbench, particularly single-core, make it the choice for those who prioritize bursty single-threaded performance above all else.
