AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS vs Intel Xeon 6507P Comparison

The Verdict

The data separates these two processors into clear, distinct roles. The Intel Xeon 6507P wins 12 of the 17 recorded head-to-head benchmarks, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins 5. The Xeon’s advantage is most pronounced in physics simulation and prime number finding, where it leads by 111.3% and 157.5% respectively. The Ryzen counters with wins in integer math, random string sorting, single-thread performance, and data encryption.

For a server or workstation workload where sustained multi-threaded throughput matters, the Xeon 6507P is the stronger choice. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26,548 beats the Ryzen’s 24,565 by 8.1%. The Xeon also holds an 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs, versus the Ryzen’s 86th. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS, with its 45W TDP and integrated Radeon 780M graphics, suits mobile or power-constrained systems where the Xeon’s 150W TDP and lack of integrated graphics would be impractical.

The Ryzen’s single-thread lead is real but narrow. Its Passmark single-thread score of 3,762 tops the Xeon’s 3,643 by 3.2%. In Cinebench R23 single-core, however, the Xeon wins by 8% with 3,747 versus 3,468. The data suggests the Ryzen is not categorically faster in single-thread work; it wins some tests while losing others.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Xeon 6507P dominates in rendering and compute-heavy workloads. It wins every Cinebench test, from R15 multi-core (2,676 vs 2,476, +8.1%) to R23 single-core (3,747 vs 3,468, +8%). Its Passmark physics score of 2,935 is more than double the Ryzen’s 1,389, a 111.3% advantage. The Xeon also leads in floating-point math (69,604 vs 58,965, +18%), extended instructions (27,385 vs 25,434, +7.7%), and data compression (356,190 vs 343,952, +3.6%). Its prime number finding score of 224 crushes the Ryzen’s 87, a 157.5% gap.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS wins in specific memory and encryption tasks. Its data encryption score of 20,487 beats the Xeon’s 17,753 by 13.3%. Integer math goes to the Ryzen at 97,625 versus 88,877, a 9% win. Random string sorting favors the Ryzen at 41,867 versus 39,682, a 5.2% edge. The Passmark single-thread test also goes to the Ryzen at 3,762 versus 3,643, a 3.2% gain.

The split is not between multi-thread and single-thread. It is between raw compute throughput (Xeon) and certain memory-latency-sensitive or encryption workloads (Ryzen). The Xeon’s larger 48 MB shared L3 cache likely helps in physics and floating-point tasks, while the Ryzen’s smaller 16 MB L3 with higher clock speeds may benefit integer and string operations.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Xeon 6507P is built on Granite Rapids, a 5 nm process from Intel, with 8 cores and 16 threads. It runs at a 3.50 GHz base clock and 4.30 GHz boost. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS uses Zen 4 on a 4 nm process from TSMC, also with 8 cores and 16 threads, but clocks higher at 3.80 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost. The Ryzen has 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die; the Xeon’s transistor count and die size are not recorded.

Cache layouts diverge significantly. The Xeon provides 112 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 48 MB shared L3. The Ryzen offers 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Xeon’s L3 is three times larger, which explains its advantage in cache-sensitive workloads like physics.

Memory subsystems differ sharply. The Xeon uses DDR5 with an eight-channel bus and 409.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Ryzen uses DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the Xeon provides Gen 5 with 88 lanes, while the Ryzen provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The Xeon has no integrated graphics; the Ryzen includes Radeon 780M.

The Xeon is a server/workstation part on Intel Socket 4710, released in February 2025 with a launch MSRP of $765. The Ryzen is a mobile part on AMD Socket FP7, released in April 2024 with no recorded launch MSRP. Both are active in production and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Xeon’s dominance in Cinebench is consistent. Across all six Cinebench tests, the Xeon wins by exactly 8% or 8.1%. The multi-core tests show a 8.1% gap (R15: 2,676 vs 2,476; R20: 11,150 vs 10,317; R23: 26,548 vs 24,565). Single-core tests show an 8% gap (R15: 377 vs 349; R20: 1,573 vs 1,456; R23: 3,747 vs 3,468). This pattern indicates the Xeon’s architectural advantage scales evenly across both single and multi-threaded rendering.

Passmark physics is the second-largest margin. The Xeon’s 2,935 score versus the Ryzen’s 1,389 represents a 111.3% lead. Prime number finding shows the largest gap at 157.5% (224 vs 87). These extreme deltas suggest the Xeon’s larger cache and eight-channel memory provide outsized benefits in iterative, memory-heavy computations.

The Ryzen’s wins are more modest in percentage terms. Its data encryption win is 13.3%, integer math win is 9%, random string sorting win is 5.2%, and single-thread win is 3.2%. The data shows the Ryzen cannot match the Xeon’s raw throughput in most tests, but it excels in specific workloads where its higher clock speed and memory layout favor certain operations.

The overall Passmark multithread score favors the Xeon at 31,233 versus 28,572, a 9.3% lead. The average benchmark scores reflect this: the Xeon averages 40,426 across all tests, while the Ryzen averages 39,325. The Xeon’s nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, scores 40,431, essentially tied at 0% delta. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS’s nearest rival, the AMD EPYC 4245P, scores 39,215, a 0.3% delta.
