AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 vs Intel Xeon 6724P Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a stark split between these two server processors. The Intel Xeon 6724P dominates the multi-threaded and specialized workload tests, winning 9 of the 11 recorded comparisons. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 counters with a commanding lead in single-threaded performance, winning the remaining 2 tests by a wide margin.

The most lopsided result in the entire comparison belongs to the AMD processor in the passmark single-thread test. The Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 scores 4606 against the Xeon 6724P's 3279, a 40.5% advantage. This is the only category where AMD leads, and it leads decisively. The same result appears twice in the data, confirming consistency.

Every other benchmark favors Intel, and several by substantial margins. The largest gap is in passmark physics, where the Xeon 6724P scores 5004 versus the Ryzen's 2257, a 54.9% difference. This is nearly double the performance in a test that often correlates with simulation and scientific computing workloads.

The floating-point math test shows a 39.8% advantage for Intel, with scores of 135404 against 81456. Integer math follows at a 28.9% gap, with the Xeon posting 172216 versus 122411. Data encryption shows a 34.2% lead for Intel (34332 vs 22577), and extended instructions show a 28% lead (54101 vs 38976). Random string sorting matches that 28% gap, with Intel at 68477 and AMD at 49326.

Data compression, a common server workload for databases and archival tasks, favors Intel at 627185 versus 467988, a 25.4% difference. The multithread score, which serves as a broad indicator of overall parallel performance, gives Intel 51345 against the Ryzen's 38721, a 24.6% advantage. Even the prime number finding test, which often favors higher single-thread speeds, goes to Intel by 47% (372 vs 197), suggesting the extra cores and threads outweigh the clock speed disadvantage.

The average benchmark scores reflect this overall balance. The Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 averages 75738 across its recorded tests, while the Xeon 6724P averages 72396. The Ryzen sits at the 95th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the Xeon sits at the 94th percentile. These are close overall positions, but they are achieved through very different performance profiles.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 wins exclusively in single-threaded performance. Its 40.5% lead in passmark single-thread is the defining characteristic of this chip. Workloads that depend on low latency, quick response times, and serialized instruction streams will benefit directly. This includes database query routing, control plane operations, and any application with a bottleneck that cannot be parallelized. The 5.40 GHz boost clock, the highest among the two, supports this outcome.

The Intel Xeon 6724P wins everywhere else. Its 16 cores and 32 threads, double the Ryzen's 8 cores and 16 threads, drive the multi-thread results. The 54.9% physics advantage and the 39.8% floating-point advantage point toward computational science, engineering simulation, and financial modeling. The 34.2% encryption lead suggests workloads with heavy cryptographic operations, such as secure communications or VPN termination. The 28% extended instructions lead indicates strong SIMD and vector processing capability.

The 25.4% data compression lead matters for storage systems, backup servers, and in-memory databases. The 28.9% integer math advantage covers general business logic, transaction processing, and data manipulation. The 47% prime number score, while a synthetic test, often correlates with certain classes of mathematical and cryptographic workloads.

The overall multithread score, a 24.6% lead for Intel, summarizes the situation: the Xeon 6724P is the parallel workhorse, while the Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 is the single-thread specialist. For servers running many concurrent threads, the Xeon is clearly superior. For interactive or latency-sensitive single-threaded tasks, the Ryzen holds the edge.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturing nodes and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel Xeon 6724P uses a 5 nm process from Intel's own foundry. The AMD chip is built on the Granite Ridge architecture, specifically Zen 5 (Granite Ridge). The Intel chip uses the Granite Rapids architecture, part of the Xeon 6 family (Granite Rapids-SP).

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD processor has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel processor has 16 cores and 32 threads. This doubling of compute resources explains most of the multi-thread benchmark gaps.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The Xeon 6724P provides more per-core cache: 112 KB of L1 per core and 2 MB of L2 per core. Its L3 cache is 72 MB shared, more than double the AMD's L3 allocation. Larger caches typically benefit repeated data access patterns and larger working sets.

Clock speeds favor AMD. The Ryzen has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Xeon has a base of 3.60 GHz and a boost of 4.30 GHz. The 1.10 GHz boost advantage for AMD is substantial and directly supports its single-thread win.

Memory architecture shows a major divergence. Both support DDR5 and ECC memory, but the Xeon 6724P uses an eight-channel memory bus with 409.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Ryzen uses a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s. The Xeon offers roughly 4.6 times the memory bandwidth, critical for large-scale data movement and many-core workloads.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 88 lanes from the CPU. The AMD chip provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU. The Xeon supports far more expansion devices, GPUs, and storage controllers.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 includes Radeon Graphics. The Intel Xeon 6724P has no integrated graphics (N/A). For headless server deployments this may not matter, but the AMD chip can output video without a discrete GPU.

The Intel Xeon 6724P carries a higher thermal design power of 210 watts, while the AMD chip is rated at 120 watts. The AMD processor is more power-efficient on paper, though the Xeon's additional cores and memory channels explain the higher envelope.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion for different use cases. The Intel Xeon 6724P is the superior processor for multi-threaded and data-intensive server workloads. Its 16 cores and 32 threads deliver wins in 9 of 11 benchmarks, with margins ranging from 24.6% to 54.9%. The eight-channel memory bus at 409.6 GB/s provides bandwidth that the dual-channel Ryzen cannot match. For virtualization, database serving, scientific computing, and any heavily parallel application, the Xeon 6724P is the choice supported by the recorded measurements.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 is the superior processor for single-threaded performance. Its 40.5% lead in passmark single-thread is the largest single margin in the entire comparison. The 5.40 GHz boost clock and lower 120 watt TDP make it attractive for workloads that prioritize low latency and power efficiency over raw core counts. It also includes integrated graphics, which the Xeon lacks.

The average benchmark scores sit close: 75738 for the Ryzen versus 72396 for the Xeon. The Ryzen actually edges the Xeon on average, but this is because the single-thread test is weighted equally with the multi-thread tests in the averaging. The Xeon's percentile rank of 94 versus the Ryzen's 95 shows they compete in the same overall class.

For server procurement, the decision should hinge on the workload. If threads scale and memory bandwidth is critical, the Xeon 6724P is the data-supported winner. If single-threaded responsiveness and lower power draw matter more, the Ryzen 7 PRO 9755 holds the advantage. The Xeon 6724P has a launch MSRP of $3622, which appears once in the database. The Ryzen has no recorded launch MSRP.
