AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 versus the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D. However, the recorded data for the Ryzen AI 7 445 provides a clear picture of its performance profile, while the Embedded 9950X3D has no benchmark scores listed in the database. This absence of comparative measurements means the analysis must rely on the Ryzen AI 7 445's standalone results and the architectural specifications of both parts.

For the Ryzen AI 7 445, the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10,590 points and single-core score of 1,806 points indicate a balanced mobile processor. The single-core result places it in a competitive position for lightly threaded workloads, while the multicore score reflects its 6-core, 12-thread configuration. In PassMark tests, the integer math score of 58,332 and floating point math score of 39,362 show strong arithmetic throughput for a 28-watt mobile part. The data compression score of 215,812 and encryption score of 10,519 suggest capable handling of data-intensive tasks, though the prime number search score of 56 is notably modest.

The Ryzen AI 7 445 achieves an average benchmark score of 26,936 across all recorded tests, placing it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-1370P with an average score of 26,900 (a delta of 0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 5 7545U at 26,849 (delta 0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G at 27,051 (delta -0.4%), and the Intel Core i9-9900K at 27,097 (delta -0.6%). These margins are extremely tight, with the Ryzen AI 7 445 sitting within 0.6% of all four competitors. The data indicates that in aggregate performance, the Ryzen AI 7 445 is statistically indistinguishable from these established desktop and mobile processors, despite having fewer cores than some of them.

The Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D, by contrast, has no recorded benchmarks in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and it holds a 50th percentile ranking, which is the default placement for unmeasured parts. The head-to-head comparison table is empty, and the wins tally shows zero for both processors. This means no direct performance deltas can be calculated between the two. The only measurable performance data comes from the Ryzen AI 7 445's individual test results, which show a PassMark single-thread score of 3,591 and a multithread score of 18,115.

The PassMark physics score of 976 and random string sorting score of 23,488 round out the Ryzen AI 7 445's profile. The extended instructions score of 15,826 indicates solid SIMD throughput. These figures, taken together, suggest a processor that punches above its core count in single-threaded scenarios but is constrained by its 6-core design in heavily parallel workloads. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D, with 16 cores and 32 threads, would likely dominate multicore tests, but without recorded scores, the database cannot confirm this.

The Verdict

From the data, the Ryzen AI 7 445 is a mobile processor with verified performance across 14 benchmark tests, achieving a 79th percentile ranking. Its aggregate score of 26,936 places it in the same performance class as quad-core and octa-core desktop processors from several generations ago, as evidenced by its proximity to the Core i9-9900K (delta -0.6%). For users prioritizing single-threaded responsiveness in a low-power mobile package, the recorded Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,806 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,591 demonstrate strong per-core efficiency.

The Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has no benchmark data in the database, making any performance verdict impossible from recorded measurements. Its 16 cores and 32 threads, combined with a 5.70 GHz boost clock, would suggest superior multicore capability, but the database does not substantiate this. The 128 MB L3 cache, which is 32 times larger than the Ryzen AI 7 445's 4 MB L3, points to advantages in cache-sensitive workloads, but again, no scores confirm this.

The data clearly favors the Ryzen AI 7 445 for users who need a verified, measured performance profile in a mobile form factor. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D is an unverified entity in this database, and its 170-watt TDP versus the Ryzen AI 7 445's 28-watt TDP indicates entirely different use cases. The mobile part is designed for efficiency, the embedded part for sustained heavy compute. Based strictly on the recorded data, the Ryzen AI 7 445 is the only one of the two with demonstrated performance, and its 79th percentile ranking confirms it as a competent mid-tier mobile option. The Embedded 9950X3D remains an unknown quantity, suitable only for those who trust its specifications over measured results.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on a 4 nm process node at TSMC, sharing the same manufacturing technology. The Ryzen AI 7 445 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Granite Ridge codename, part of the Ryzen Embedded 9000 series. Both use a 4 nm node, but the Embedded part integrates 16,630 million transistors across two chiplets, each measuring 70.6 mm², according to the database. The Ryzen AI 7 445 has no transistor or die size data recorded.

The cache hierarchies differ substantially. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. The L3 cache, however, is a major divergence: the Ryzen AI 7 445 has 4 MB total, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has 128 MB. This 32-fold difference in L3 capacity is the most significant architectural gap between the two. The Embedded part's large L3 cache is characteristic of the X3D lineup, which uses stacked cache to boost performance in cache-sensitive applications.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The Ryzen AI 7 445 uses a Radeon 840M, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D uses a more generic Radeon Graphics solution. Both support ECC memory, and both use dual-channel memory buses with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Ryzen AI 7 445 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Embedded part supports only DDR5. The PCIe interfaces are markedly different: the Ryzen AI 7 445 offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D offers Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only). This gives the Embedded part both a newer PCIe generation and more available lanes.

The socket platforms are incompatible: the Ryzen AI 7 445 uses AMD Socket FP8 for mobile, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D uses AMD Socket AM5 for desktop. The multiplier is locked on the Ryzen AI 7 445 but unlocked on the Embedded part, allowing overclocking on the latter. The production status for both is listed as Active, meaning both are currently manufactured.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ significantly: the Ryzen AI 7 445 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has 16 cores and 32 threads. This is a 10-core and 20-thread advantage for the Embedded part. Clock speeds also diverge: the Ryzen AI 7 445 runs at a 2.00 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost, while the Embedded part runs at 4.30 GHz base and 5.70 GHz boost. The Embedded part's base clock is 2.30 GHz higher, and its boost clock is 1.10 GHz higher.

Thermal design power is another major separator. The Ryzen AI 7 445 has a 28-watt TDP, while the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has a 170-watt TDP, a difference of 142 watts. This reflects the mobile versus desktop/embedded positioning. The market segments are listed as Mobile for the Ryzen AI 7 445 and Desktop for the Embedded part. Release dates differ, with the Ryzen AI 7 445 dated January 4, 2026, and the Embedded part dated October 6, 2025.

Memory support overlaps on DDR5 but diverges on LPDDR5X, which only the Ryzen AI 7 445 supports. The PCIe configuration gives the Embedded part Gen 5 with 24 lanes versus Gen 4 with 14 lanes for the mobile part. The transistor count of 16,630 million and die size of 2x 70.6 mm² are recorded only for the Embedded part. The part numbers are distinct: 100-000001935 for the Ryzen AI 7 445 and 100-000000719E for the Embedded 9950X3D. The multiplier is unlocked only on the Embedded part. The generation field lists the Ryzen AI 7 445 as "Ryzen AI 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c)" and the Embedded part as "Ryzen Embedded (Zen 5 (Granite Ridge))".
