Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the available data, the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins in every measurable category because it is the only processor with recorded benchmark results. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24,565 and single-core score of 3,468 establish a performance baseline, and its PassMark multithread score of 28,572 with a single-thread score of 3,762 further define its capabilities. Its average benchmark score of 39,325 and 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirm its standing relative to the broader database.

The Ryzen Embedded 9950X cannot be declared a winner in any benchmark category because the database contains no scores for it. Its architectural specifications, however, indicate where its advantages would likely appear if measurements were recorded. It has double the cores and threads, a higher base and boost clock, and a larger L3 cache at 64 MB versus 16 MB. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 28 lanes also exceeds the Gen 4 with 20 lanes on the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS. These specifications suggest that the Ryzen Embedded 9950X would be positioned for heavier parallel workloads, but no recorded data confirms this.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS remains the only chip with empirical results, so it is the only one that can be placed in a performance hierarchy. Its nearest rivals, all within roughly one percentage point of its average score, include the AMD EPYC 4245P at 0.3% ahead, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 at 0.4% ahead, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS at 0.7% ahead, and the Intel Core i7-13700F at 0.8% behind.
