AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE vs Intel Xeon E-2356G Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark results split cleanly along application type. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE wins all six Cinebench tests, but the Intel Xeon E-2356G takes both Geekbench tests, and by a very large margin.

Looking at the Cinebench suite first, the AMD chip leads by the same tiny margin in most tests. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD scores 1582 against 1575 for the Intel, a 0.4% edge. The single-core R15 result is nearly identical: 223 for AMD versus 222 for Intel, again 0.4%. Cinebench R20 repeats the pattern with AMD at 6593 and Intel at 6565 in multicore, and 930 versus 926 in single-core, both 0.4% differences. Cinebench R23 shows the same story: AMD leads multicore 15699 to 15632 and single-core 2216 to 2206, with deltas of 0.4% and 0.5% respectively. These are essentially statistical ties in real-world terms, but the recorded data gives every Cinebench win to the Ryzen.

The Geekbench results flip the picture dramatically. In Geekbench multicore, the Intel Xeon scores 7213 against 6430 for the AMD, a 12.2% advantage. In Geekbench single-core, the Intel leads 2044 to 1612, a 26.8% gap. That is the single biggest win in either direction across the entire benchmark set. The Intel part is clearly stronger in workloads that resemble Geekbench's mix, while the AMD part holds a narrow but consistent edge in Cinebench's rendering-style tasks.

The overall win count favors the AMD part at 6 wins to 2, but the magnitude of those two Intel wins matters. A 26.8% single-core lead is far more decisive than any of the 0.4% Cinebench margins. The average benchmark score in the database tells a similar story: the Intel Xeon E-2356G sits at 4548 average, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE records 4411. Both CPUs land at the 58th percentile among all CPUs tracked, so they occupy the same performance tier overall despite their differing strengths.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and process nodes. The Intel Xeon E-2356G uses Rocket Lake architecture, specifically the Rocket Lake-E variant, built on Intel's 14 nm process with a die size of 276 mm². The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE uses Zen 2 architecture under the codename Renoir, fabricated by TSMC on a 7 nm process with a die size of 156 mm² and 9,800 million transistors. The AMD chip is smaller and built on a more advanced node, which helps explain its 35 W TDP versus the Intel part's 80 W TDP.

Core counts differ as well. The Intel Xeon offers 6 cores and 12 threads, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO provides 8 cores and 16 threads. That extra core pair and thread set gives the AMD part a structural advantage in heavily threaded workloads, even though the benchmark deltas remain small. Cache layouts also diverge. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a smaller 8 MB of L3. The Intel Xeon therefore carries more total L3 cache despite having fewer cores.

Clock speeds favor the Intel part on paper. The Xeon E-2356G has a 3.20 GHz base clock and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. The Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE starts at 3.10 GHz base and boosts to 4.30 GHz. That higher boost clock on the Intel chip likely drives its Geekbench single-core dominance, especially in tests that scale with frequency rather than core count.

Memory support is similar on both: DDR4, dual-channel, with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth and ECC support. PCIe connectivity differs, with the Intel part offering Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes versus Gen 3 with 16 lanes on the AMD side. Integrated graphics also differ: the Intel Xeon carries UHD Graphics P750, while the AMD part has Radeon Vega 8. The Intel chip targets the server and workstation segment, while the AMD part is classed as a desktop processor, though both remain in active production. The Intel Xeon launched on September 7, 2021, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO arrived earlier on July 20, 2020.

The Verdict

The data points to two different buyers. The Intel Xeon E-2356G is the pick for anyone whose work resembles Geekbench: tasks that favor high single-thread performance and raw frequency. Its 26.8% lead in Geekbench single-core and 12.2% lead in Geekbench multicore are decisive, not marginal. The 5.00 GHz boost clock gives it a clear edge in lightly threaded and latency-sensitive applications. It also provides newer PCIe Gen 4 connectivity with 20 lanes, which matters for workstation builds using fast storage or accelerators.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE is the better choice for power-constrained environments and heavily threaded rendering workloads. It wins every Cinebench test, though by narrow margins of 0.4% to 0.5%. More importantly, it delivers that performance at 35 W TDP versus 80 W for the Intel chip, a massive efficiency advantage. The 8-core and 16-thread configuration gives it more parallel throughput capacity on paper, and the 7 nm TSMC process keeps it cool and compact in a 156 mm² die. The smaller L3 cache of 8 MB does not appear to hurt it in the recorded Cinebench results.

For a server or workstation where single-thread responsiveness and PCIe Gen 4 matter, the Intel Xeon E-2356G is the data-backed choice. For an always-on desktop, a small form factor build, or a rendering machine where every watt counts, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE wins on efficiency and core count. Both CPUs land at the 58th percentile overall, so neither is a bad buy, but their strengths point in different directions.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Xeon E-2356G wins in Geekbench multicore with a 7213 score versus 6430, a 12.2% advantage. It also wins Geekbench single-core with 2044 versus 1612, a 26.8% advantage. These results suggest workloads with strong single-thread scaling, low-latency response, and certain mixed integer and floating-point patterns will favor the Intel part. The higher 5.00 GHz boost clock and 12 MB L3 cache are the likely contributors. The Intel chip also brings PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 CPU lanes, which suits workstation configurations with modern GPUs or NVMe storage. Its 80 W TDP is higher, but that comes with the server and workstation positioning.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE wins all six Cinebench tests: R15 multicore 1582 to 1575, R15 single-core 223 to 222, R20 multicore 6593 to 6565, R20 single-core 930 to 926, R23 multicore 15699 to 15632, and R23 single-core 2216 to 2206. These margins range from 0.4% to 0.5%, so the wins are consistent but small. The AMD part achieves this with an 8-core, 16-thread design and only 35 W TDP. That makes it the stronger candidate for rendering, video encoding, and other sustained all-core workloads where efficiency translates into quieter cooling, lower power draw, and simpler system design. Its Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics and desktop market segment also position it for general-purpose desktop builds that do not require discrete graphics. The Intel part counters with UHD Graphics P750, but the AMD chip's lower power envelope and higher core count give it the edge in prolonged threaded work.
