AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE vs Intel Core i7-10700KF Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark results present a clear split between the two processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE wins the majority of the comparison tests, taking 6 of the 8 recorded benchmarks, while the Intel Core i7-10700KF secures 2 wins. However, the margin of victory matters more than the raw count, and the Intel part's wins are decisive.

In Cinebench testing, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE consistently edges out the Intel Core i7-10700KF across every single iteration. In Cinebench R15 multicore, AMD scores 1582 against Intel's 1566, a 1% difference. The single-core R15 test shows AMD at 223 versus Intel at 221, a 0.9% gap. The pattern repeats in R20, where AMD leads 6593 to 6528 in multicore and 930 to 921 in single-core, again both at 1% deltas. The R23 results follow suit: AMD posts 15699 multicore against Intel's 15543, and 2216 single-core against Intel's 2194, with 1% deltas throughout. These are narrow margins, indicating that in pure rendering workloads the two processors are effectively interchangeable within measurement noise.

The Geekbench results tell a completely different story. The Intel Core i7-10700KF dominates the multicore test with a score of 9338 against AMD's 6430, a massive 45.2% advantage. That is not a small edge; it is a commanding lead that suggests the Intel processor is substantially faster in the specific multi-threaded workloads represented by Geekbench's multicore test. The single-core Geekbench result also favors Intel, with 1637 versus AMD's 1612, a 1.6% delta. While the single-core margin is modest, the multicore gap is the single largest delta in the entire head-to-head comparison, and it flips the overall narrative.

Looking at the broader benchmark averages, the Intel Core i7-10700KF records an average benchmark score of 4547 across all tests in the database, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE averages 4411. Both processors sit at the 58th percentile among all CPUs. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Xeon E-2356G at 4548 (0% delta), the Intel Core i5-1340P at 4545 (0% delta), and the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2748 at 4532 (0.3% behind Intel). The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE's nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon E-2288G at 4373 (0.9% ahead of AMD), the Intel Core i7-9800X at 4455 (1% behind AMD), and the AMD EPYC 7232P at 4354 (1.3% ahead of AMD). The database places both of these CPUs in similar performance tiers overall, but the head-to-head tests reveal that the distribution of performance across different workload types is far from uniform.

The key takeaway from the head-to-head data is that the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE wins the Cinebench suite by single-digit percentage points, while the Intel Core i7-10700KF wins Geekbench multicore by a landslide. Any verdict on these processors must account for which benchmark suite better represents the intended use case.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Core i7-10700KF is built on the Comet Lake architecture, part of the Core 10th Gen series, and uses a 14 nm process node manufactured by Intel itself. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE belongs to the 4000 series and uses the Zen 2 architecture with the Renoir codename, fabricated on a 7 nm process by TSMC. This process node difference is significant, as the smaller 7 nm node allows AMD to pack more transistors into a smaller die. The AMD part contains 9,800 million transistors on a 156 mm² die size, while the Intel part has no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Both processors feature 8 cores and 16 threads, so the thread count is identical. The base clocks differ substantially: the Intel Core i7-10700KF runs at 3.80 GHz base and boosts to 5.10 GHz, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE runs at 3.10 GHz base and boosts to 4.30 GHz. The Intel part's higher clock speeds, especially the 5.10 GHz boost, explain its single-core Geekbench advantage. The thermal design power figures are drastically different: Intel's TDP is 125 watts, while AMD's is 35 watts. This is a 90-watt difference, making the AMD processor far more power-efficient on paper, though the database does not include direct power consumption measurements.

Cache configurations diverge as well. Both have 64 KB of L1 cache per core, but the Intel part has 256 KB of L2 per core while the AMD part has 512 KB per core, double the L2 allocation. The L3 cache is where Intel takes the lead: the Core i7-10700KF has 16 MB of shared L3 cache, while the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE has 8 MB. This means Intel has double the last-level cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets that fit in cache.

Memory support is similar in that both use DDR4 with a dual-channel bus, but the memory bandwidth figures differ. The Intel part records 46.9 GB/s, while the AMD part records 51.2 GB/s, giving AMD a slight bandwidth advantage. The AMD processor supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. Both use PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The integrated graphics situation is a major differentiator. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE includes Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, while the Intel Core i7-10700KF has no integrated graphics recorded in the database. The "KF" suffix on the Intel part typically indicates no integrated GPU, and the data confirms this. The AMD processor also has a locked multiplier, while the Intel part has an unlocked multiplier, allowing for overclocking on the Intel side.

The release dates differ by a few months: the Intel Core i7-10700KF was released on April 29, 2020, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE followed on July 20, 2020. Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status and target the desktop market segment.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE wins every Cinebench test in the head-to-head comparison. Across R15, R20, and R23, in both single-core and multicore variants, AMD consistently posts higher scores. The margins are tight at 1% or less, but they are consistent across every iteration. This makes the AMD processor the better choice for rendering workloads that resemble Cinebench's rendering engine, where the combination of a 7 nm process, larger L2 cache, and higher memory bandwidth appears to provide a slight edge.

The Intel Core i7-10700KF wins the Geekbench multicore test by a 45.2% margin and the Geekbench single-core test by 1.6%. The multicore result is a decisive victory that suggests Intel's higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz and larger 16 MB L3 cache provide a significant advantage in the specific multi-threaded workloads represented by Geekbench. The single-core win is modest but still favors Intel.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward. For applications that behave like Cinebench, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE is the marginally faster processor. For applications that behave like Geekbench's multicore test, the Intel Core i7-10700KF is dramatically faster. The AMD processor also has integrated graphics, ECC memory support, and a 35 watt TDP, making it suitable for systems where a discrete GPU is not required, where memory reliability is critical, or where thermal and power constraints are tight. The Intel processor's unlocked multiplier makes it a candidate for overclocking, and its higher clock speeds give it an edge in latency-sensitive single-threaded tasks.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear verdict based on workload priorities. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE is the winner in the Cinebench suite, posting higher scores in all six Cinebench tests, albeit by narrow 1% margins. It also offers integrated graphics, ECC memory support, a 35 watt TDP, and a smaller 7 nm process node, making it the more versatile and power-conscious option. Users who prioritize rendering workloads similar to Cinebench, who need integrated graphics, or who operate in power-constrained environments should select the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE.

The Intel Core i7-10700KF is the winner in the Geekbench multicore test by a massive 45.2% margin, and it also edges out AMD in Geekbench single-core by 1.6%. Its higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz, larger 16 MB L3 cache, and unlocked multiplier make it the better choice for multi-threaded applications that resemble Geekbench's workload, as well as for users who plan to overclock. The Intel part also has a higher average benchmark score of 4547 versus AMD's 4411, placing both at the 58th percentile but with Intel slightly ahead on average.

The overall verdict depends on which benchmark suite better represents the user's actual applications. If the workload is Cinebench-like rendering, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE is the pick. If the workload is Geekbench-like multi-threading, the Intel Core i7-10700KF is the clear winner. The AMD part's integrated graphics and ECC support add functionality that Intel cannot match, while the Intel part's overclocking headroom and clock speed advantage serve a different audience. Both processors are active in production and target the desktop market, but they excel in different domains.
