AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS vs Intel Core 3 201E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is one-sided: the Intel Core 3 201E has a full benchmark suite in the database, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no recorded benchmark scores. As a result, the head-to-head analysis relies entirely on the Intel part's measured performance and the architectural data for the AMD part.

The Intel Core 3 201E delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,613 and a single-core score of 1,780. In the older Cinebench R20 suite, it records 5,297 multi-core and 747 single-core. The R15 run shows 1,271 multi-core and 179 single-core. PassMark results include 14,839 multi-thread, 3,482 single-thread, 43,894 integer math, 33,260 floating point math, and 16,416 for data compression (the database lists the data compression figure as 164,160, which appears to be a scaled value). The CPU's average benchmark score is 19,056, and it sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs in the database.

Comparing the Intel part to its nearest rivals, the data shows a tight cluster. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS scores 19,047, a delta of 0%. The Intel Core i5-12400F scores 19,039, a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Core i5-1335U scores 18,982, a delta of 0.4%. The AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18,979, a delta of 0.4%. The Core 3 201E's 19,056 average places it marginally ahead of all four, but the differences are within a fraction of a percent. This indicates the Core 3 201E performs essentially at parity with these established parts in aggregate benchmark terms.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no benchmark entries, so no direct score comparison can be made. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in head-to-head tests, reflecting the absence of paired measurements. The Intel part's percentile ranking of 73 versus the AMD part's percentile of 50 does, however, offer a positional reference: the Intel part sits higher in the overall distribution of all CPUs, though the AMD part's percentile is based on no recorded benchmark data and should be treated as an unverified placeholder.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design schools. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 3 201E uses the Bartlett Lake codename, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD part integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while the Intel die measures 163 mm² with no transistor count recorded.

Core and thread counts differ meaningfully. The AMD chip provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel chip provides 4 cores and 8 threads. The AMD part's base clock is 4.30 GHz with a boost of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part runs at 3.60 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The AMD part has a 45 W TDP, the Intel part a 60 W TDP.

Cache hierarchies diverge. The AMD part uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The AMD part thus has more total L3 capacity, while the Intel part has larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 exclusively, with dual-channel operation and 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics separate the two. The AMD part uses a Radeon 760M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. Both parts have locked multipliers, indicating no overclocking headroom. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part targets the mobile market segment, the Intel part targets desktop.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 201E wins in every measured category, simply because it is the only part with benchmark data. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,613 and single-core score of 1,780 provide a solid performance baseline for a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor. PassMark results show strengths in integer math (43,894), floating point math (33,260), and extended instructions (11,035). The data compression score of 164,160 and random string sorting score of 17,783 indicate strong throughput in data manipulation workloads. The physics score of 1,141 and prime number finding score of 57 round out the compute profile.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no recorded wins, but its architectural specifications suggest capabilities the Intel part lacks. The AMD part offers 6 cores and 12 threads versus 4 and 8, which typically favors multi-threaded workloads. The higher base clock of 4.30 GHz and boost of 5.00 GHz versus 3.60 and 4.80 GHz could benefit latency-sensitive single-thread tasks. The larger 16 MB L3 cache versus 12 MB may help workloads with large working sets. The AMD part's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth exceeds the Intel part's 76.8 GB/s, which can matter for memory-bound applications. The AMD part also uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes versus Gen 5 with 16 lanes, offering more total lane count though at a lower per-lane speed.

In embedded and mobile contexts, the AMD part's 45 W TDP versus 60 W suggests lower power draw, which can be decisive in thermally constrained environments. The Intel part, with its desktop orientation and higher TDP, may sustain higher continuous loads given adequate cooling. The Intel part's support for both DDR4 and DDR5 provides flexibility in platform memory choices, while the AMD part's DDR5-only support requires newer memory infrastructure.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS belongs to the 8000 series and Ryzen Embedded generation (Zen 4, Hawk Point). The Intel Core 3 201E belongs to the Core 3 generation (Bartlett Lake). The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, the Intel part 4 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks are 4.30 GHz versus 3.60 GHz, boost clocks 5.00 GHz versus 4.80 GHz. TDP is 45 W versus 60 W.

Process node differs: 4 nm TSMC versus 10 nm Intel. Die size is 178 mm² versus 163 mm². Transistor count is 25,000 million for AMD, not recorded for Intel. Cache configurations differ: L1 is 64 KB per core versus 80 KB per core, L2 is 1 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core, L3 is 16 MB shared versus 12 MB shared. Memory support is DDR5 only versus DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s. PCIe is Gen 4 with 20 lanes versus Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon 760M versus UHD Graphics 730. Sockets are AMD Socket FP8 versus Intel Socket 1700. Market segments are mobile versus desktop.
