AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 and AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS are both active mobile processors from AMD, sharing the same FP8 socket and 4nm TSMC process node. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is a Zen 5 part from the Gorgon Point generation, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is a Zen 4 part from the Hawk Point generation. The recorded data shows a significant divergence in their benchmark profiles, with the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 having a full suite of measurements while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has none recorded in the database. This asymmetry shapes the analysis, requiring a focus on the architectural and specification differences alongside the available performance data.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 clearly wins in every measured benchmark category, simply because it is the only one of the two with recorded scores. Its passmark_single_thread score of 3757 and passmark_multithread score of 19091 establish a baseline for its performance class, placing it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no benchmark entries in the database, so any direct performance comparison is impossible from the recorded data. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 also wins on architectural grounds, using the newer Zen 5 architecture compared to the Zen 4 of the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 achieves an average benchmark score of 37762, while the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS shows an average benchmark score of 0 due to missing data. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is the clear winner in terms of available performance evidence, but the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS counters with a higher core count, higher clock speeds, and a larger L3 cache, which could shift the advantage in workloads that scale with cores and cache capacity.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table is empty in the database, so a direct comparison of scores is not possible. The only available performance data belongs to the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435, which shows a passmark_single_thread score of 3757 and a passmark_multithread score of 19091. In the passmark_find_prime_numbers test, the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 scores 57, and in passmark_data_compression it scores 232803. Its passmark_integer_math score is 60879, and passmark_floating_point_math is 41114. The passmark_extended_instructions score is 16724, passmark_data_encryption is 11267, passmark_physics is 995, and passmark_random_string_sorting is 24936. These figures place the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 at the 86th percentile overall, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 at an average score of 37804 (a delta of -0.1%), the Intel Core 5 211E at 37829 (a delta of -0.2%), the Intel Core i5-13600K at 37685 (a delta of 0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37904 (a delta of -0.4%). The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 sits within a very tight band around these rivals, trailing the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 by 0.4% and the Intel Core 5 211E by 0.2%, while leading the Intel Core i5-13600K by 0.2%. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no comparable scores, so its performance cannot be benchmarked against the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 from the recorded data. The data suggests the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is competitive with a range of mid-to-high-end desktop and mobile parts, but the absence of data for the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS leaves a gap in the head-to-head analysis.

Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and both are classified as mobile market segment parts.

The Verdict

The data indicates the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is the only one with recorded benchmark scores, making it the logical choice for applications where measured performance is required. Its 86th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 37762, with nearest rivals within a 0.4% band, confirm it performs competitively against a range of CPUs. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS lacks any recorded benchmarks, so its performance cannot be validated from the database. However, the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS offers a higher core count (8 versus 6), higher base and boost clocks (3.80 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, and 5.10 GHz versus 4.50 GHz), and a larger L3 cache (16 MB versus 4 MB), which could make it more suitable for multi-threaded workloads that benefit from additional cores and cache. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 has a lower TDP of 28 watts versus 45 watts, indicating lower power consumption, and supports LPDDR5X memory in addition to DDR5. The Ryzen Embedded 8845HS provides more PCIe lanes (20 versus 14) and a documented transistor count and die size. Users needing verified benchmark data and a newer Zen 5 architecture should select the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435. Users prioritizing core count, cache capacity, and higher clock speeds, with the caveat of no recorded benchmarks, should consider the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS. The choice depends on whether measured performance or raw specifications matter more, and the lack of data for the Ryzen Embedded 8845HS means its actual performance remains unverified in the database.
