AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U vs Intel Xeon E-2334 Comparison

The Intel Xeon E-2334 and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U are two processors from opposite ends of the computing spectrum, yet they land within 0.8% of each other in average benchmark score. The Xeon E-2334 is a server-focused 4-core chip built for sustained throughput, while the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U is a mobile 8-core part designed for efficiency. The data reveals a fascinating split: the AMD wins in older Cinebench R15 tests, while the Intel dominates the newer R23 tests. This page breaks down where each processor excels, what separates them architecturally, and which one fits specific use cases based strictly on benchmark results.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data shows a clear generational and workload-dependent split between these two CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U takes the crown in Cinebench R15, both in multi-core and single-core tests. It scores 1410 in R15 multi-core versus the Intel’s 1041, a 26.2% advantage, and 181 in R15 single-core versus 146, a 19.3% lead. This suggests that in older, lighter-threaded workloads, the AMD’s 8 cores and 16 threads provide a substantial edge.

Conversely, the Intel Xeon E-2334 wins decisively in the more modern Cinebench R23 tests. It posts a multi-core score of 10333 versus the AMD’s 8359, a 23.6% advantage, and a single-core score of 1458 versus 1215, a 20% lead. This indicates that the Intel architecture scales better with the AVX-512 instructions and heavier multi-threaded loads that R23 leverages. The wins are evenly split at 2-2, but the nature of the wins is telling: the AMD dominates legacy benchmarks, while the Intel dominates current-generation ones.

For practical use, the AMD is better suited for older software environments or tasks that benefit from more physical cores at lower clock speeds. The Intel is the stronger choice for modern rendering, encoding, and scientific workloads that use the latest instruction sets. The average benchmark scores are nearly identical — 2988 for Intel and 2965 for AMD — meaning the choice hinges entirely on the specific software generation you plan to run.

Architecture Differences

The two chips are built on fundamentally different architectures. The Intel Xeon E-2334 uses the Rocket Lake-E architecture, based on a 14 nm process node from Intel’s own foundry. It features 4 cores and 8 threads with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U, in contrast, uses the Zen 2 architecture on a 7 nm process from TSMC, packing 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 1700.00 MHz and a boost of 4.10 GHz. The AMD’s process advantage is evident in its smaller die size of 156 mm² versus the Intel’s 276 mm², despite having double the cores.

Cache configurations are similar in total L3 (8 MB shared for both), but the L1 cache differs: Intel uses 80 KB per core, while AMD uses 64 KB per core. Both have 512 KB L2 per core. The Intel supports ECC memory (true), while the AMD does not (false). The Intel runs on DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, while the AMD supports both DDR4 and LPDDR4, also dual-channel with 51.2 GB/s. PCIe connectivity differs significantly: the Intel offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the AMD offers only Gen 3 with 12 lanes. The AMD includes Radeon RX Vega 7 integrated graphics, whereas the Intel has no integrated graphics at all.

The TDP gap is enormous: 65 W for the Intel versus 15 W for the AMD. This reflects their intended markets — server/workstation for Intel, mobile for AMD. The Intel uses Socket 1200, the AMD uses Socket FP6. The Intel launched on 2021-09-07 with a launch MSRP of $250; the AMD launched earlier on 2020-05-06. Both are marked as Active in production and have locked multipliers.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data provides a detailed look at how these chips perform across four specific Cinebench tests. The biggest win for the AMD comes in Cinebench R15 multi-core, where it scores 1410 against the Intel’s 1041, a delta of -26.2% from the Intel’s perspective. This is a massive margin, driven by the AMD’s 8 cores versus 4, despite the Intel’s higher clock speeds. In R15 single-core, the AMD also wins with 181 versus 146, a 19.3% advantage, which is surprising given the Intel’s 4.80 GHz boost clock versus the AMD’s 4.10 GHz. This suggests the Zen 2 architecture was more efficient in that older benchmark.

The Intel strikes back hard in Cinebench R23. In multi-core, the Intel scores 10333 versus the AMD’s 8359, a 23.6% advantage. This flips the R15 result completely, indicating that the Intel’s Rocket Lake architecture handles the newer R23 workload far better, likely due to better instruction-level parallelism and IPC improvements. In R23 single-core, the Intel wins 1458 versus 1215, a 20% lead. This is a consistent pattern: the Intel is significantly faster in R23, while the AMD is significantly faster in R15.

The overall win count is tied at 2-2, but the magnitude of the wins matters more than the count. The AMD’s R15 multi-core win of 26.2% is slightly larger than the Intel’s R23 multi-core win of 23.6%. However, the Intel’s single-core wins are comparable in margin. For a user running a mix of old and new software, the average scores (2988 vs 2965) suggest near-parity, but the choice is stark for those running only one benchmark generation.

The Verdict

The data paints a clear picture for different user profiles. The Intel Xeon E-2334 is the pick for anyone running modern multi-threaded workloads that utilize Cinebench R23-class instructions. Its 23.6% lead in R23 multi-core and 20% lead in R23 single-core make it the superior choice for current-generation rendering, video encoding, or scientific computing. Its support for ECC memory and PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes further solidifies it as a workstation or server part, despite its higher 65 W TDP. The launch MSRP of $250 places it in a specific tier, but the performance data justifies its positioning.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U is the better option for legacy software environments or power-constrained mobile deployments. Its 26.2% win in R15 multi-core and 19.3% win in R15 single-core indicate that older applications, which are often less optimized for newer instruction sets, will run significantly faster on this chip. The 15 W TDP makes it ideal for thin-and-light laptops where battery life and thermals are critical. Its 8 cores and 16 threads also provide a raw core-count advantage for heavily parallel legacy workloads that don’t benefit from the Intel’s newer architecture.

If you are building a new system today and running current software, the Intel Xeon E-2334 is the data-backed choice. If you are upgrading an older machine or need a low-power mobile processor, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U is the one to pick. The average benchmark scores are nearly identical (2988 vs 2965), so the decision should rest entirely on the software generation you use most.
