AMD Ryzen Embedded 8640U vs Intel Core 7 253PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8640U versus the Intel Core 7 253PQE. The AMD processor has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals listed. The Intel processor, by contrast, has a full suite of 17 recorded benchmark results across Cinebench and PassMark workloads, an average benchmark score of 55,919, and a percentile ranking of 91 among all CPUs.

Because the AMD side lacks any measured data, direct numerical comparison is impossible. The Intel Core 7 253PQE delivers a single-core Cinebench R23 score of 4,431 and a multi-core score of 31,390. In PassMark tests, it records 4,389 for single-thread performance and 41,656 for multithread performance. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8640U simply has no entries in the database for any of these workloads.

The Intel part also shows strong standing relative to its nearest rivals. It sits 0.2 percent behind the Intel Core i9-14900HX, 0.6 percent behind the AMD Ryzen AI Max 390, 0.7 percent behind the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, and 1.1 percent behind the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX. These are all close margins, indicating the Core 7 253PQE performs at a level comparable to those high-end parts despite the small deltas.

The wins tally reflects this asymmetry. The AMD processor records zero wins, and the Intel processor records zero wins, because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty. The data simply does not support any claim of superiority for either part in direct testing.

Where Each One Wins

For the Intel Core 7 253PQE, the recorded data shows clear strengths in multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31,390 is roughly seven times the single-core score of 4,431, which indicates strong scaling across its 10 cores and 20 threads. The PassMark multithread score of 41,656 versus a single-thread score of 4,389 shows similar scaling behavior. Data compression performance is particularly strong at 487,335 in the PassMark test, and floating-point math reaches 105,279. Integer math records 137,795, while extended instructions score 32,390. Random string sorting reaches 54,222, and data encryption scores 25,515.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8640U has no recorded wins in any category because no benchmark data exists for it. The database lists its core configuration as 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, but without measured scores, any claim about where it wins would be speculative. The Intel part, by contrast, has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.70 GHz, and its benchmark results confirm strong single-thread and multi-thread performance across the board.

The use-case split from the data is therefore one-sided. The Intel Core 7 253PQE demonstrably handles both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, with particularly high scores in compression, encryption, and math operations. The AMD part has no evidence of wins anywhere in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one conclusion: the Intel Core 7 253PQE is the part with measurable performance, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8640U has no benchmark presence. The Intel processor achieves a 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, an average benchmark score of 55,919, and competitive margins against four high-end rivals, all within 1.1 percent of its score. The AMD processor sits at a 50th percentile with an average score of zero.

For workloads that rely on multi-threaded throughput, the Intel part delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31,390 and a PassMark multithread score of 41,656. For single-threaded responsiveness, it records 4,431 in Cinebench R23 and 4,389 in PassMark. The AMD part offers no numbers to compare.

The Intel Core 7 253PQE also carries a launch MSRP of $409, which appears once here for reference. The AMD part has no launch MSRP listed.

Any user selecting between these two parts based on the database would choose the Intel Core 7 253PQE, as it is the only one with verified performance data. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8640U cannot be evaluated from the available records.
