Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PE dominates the benchmark comparison based on recorded data. The database shows the Intel chip winning every available benchmark category, with a percentile ranking of 85 versus 50 for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS. The Intel part also holds an average benchmark score of 35428, while the AMD processor has an average score of 0 in the current database, meaning the Intel chip is the clear performer across all measured workloads.

The Intel Core 5 213PE uses its 8 cores and 16 threads to pull ahead in multi-threaded tasks. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 22468, and in PassMark multithread it reaches 26434. These results indicate strong performance for rendering, compilation, and other parallel workloads. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS, with fewer cores and threads, cannot match this level of multi-core output in the recorded data.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS wins on efficiency-oriented specifications rather than raw benchmark scores. It carries a 45 W TDP versus 65 W for the Intel chip, making it the lower-power option for embedded mobile designs. Its 4.30 GHz base clock is substantially higher than Intel's 2.70 GHz, which can benefit lightly threaded tasks that rely on sustained base frequency. However, no benchmark data exists for the AMD part in the database, so its actual performance advantage in such scenarios is not quantified.

The Intel Core 5 213PE also wins in memory bandwidth specifications, despite supporting both DDR4 and DDR5. The recorded memory bandwidth for Intel is 76.8 GB/s, while AMD shows 89.6 GB/s. This means the AMD part has a higher theoretical memory bandwidth figure, but the Intel chip still wins all recorded benchmark tests. The AMD processor offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while Intel offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, so each has a different connectivity profile for embedded system designers.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename. It belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen Embedded generation. The chip is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename under the Core 5 generation, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. These represent two different manufacturing approaches, with AMD using an external foundry and Intel using its own fabs.

Cache hierarchies differ significantly between the two. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core caches on the Intel chip give it a structural advantage in workloads that benefit from local data reuse, while the larger L3 pool provides more shared capacity across all cores.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS supports DDR5 only, while the Intel Core 5 213PE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both support ECC memory and use a dual-channel memory bus. The AMD chip records a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel chip records 76.8 GB/s. This means the AMD part has a theoretical bandwidth advantage despite the Intel chip's broader memory compatibility.

PCIe connectivity differs in generation and lane count. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes for CPU-only connections. The Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The higher generation on the Intel side provides more bandwidth per lane, while the AMD side offers more total lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with AMD using Radeon 760M and Intel using UHD Graphics 730.

The release timeline places the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS in April 2024 and the Intel Core 5 213PE in March 2026. Both processors are listed as active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part has a known part number of SA4QG and a launch MSRP of $221, while the AMD part has an unknown part number and no listed launch MSRP.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ, with AMD at 6 cores and 12 threads versus Intel at 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks differ substantially, with AMD at 4.30 GHz and Intel at 2.70 GHz. Boost clocks are closer, with AMD at 5.00 GHz and Intel at 5.20 GHz. TDP differs as well, with AMD at 45 W and Intel at 65 W.

Memory support differs, with AMD limited to DDR5 and Intel supporting DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth differs, with AMD at 89.6 GB/s and Intel at 76.8 GB/s. PCIe differs, with AMD at Gen 4 with 20 lanes and Intel at Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics differ, with AMD using Radeon 760M and Intel using UHD Graphics 730.

Release dates and pricing differ. AMD launched in April 2024 with no recorded MSRP. Intel launched in March 2026 with a launch MSRP of $221. The Intel part has a part number of SA4QG, while the AMD part has an unknown part number. Both support ECC memory, both are active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 213PE holds all recorded benchmark wins in the database, but the head-to-head benchmark list is empty, meaning the comparison relies on the Intel chip's individual scores and its nearest rivals. The Intel chip's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22468 places it in strong company. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-13700T with an average score of 35403 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Core i7-12700KF at 35365 with a 0.2 percent delta, the Intel Core i5-13600T at 35305 with a 0.3 percent delta, and the Intel Core i7-12700K at 35287 with a 0.4 percent delta. These tight deltas show the Core 5 213PE sits at the top of a closely grouped performance tier.

Single-core results for the Intel chip are solid. Cinebench R23 single-core scores 3172, while Cinebench R20 single-core scores 1332 and Cinebench R15 single-core scores 319. PassMark single-thread reaches 4060. These figures support the chip's strong showing in lightly threaded workloads. The 5.20 GHz boost clock contributes to this result, giving the Intel part a measurable edge in single-thread performance.

Multi-core results are equally strong. Cinebench R23 multicore scores 22468, Cinebench R20 multicore scores 9436, and Cinebench R15 multicore scores 2264. PassMark multithread scores 26434. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration delivers consistent scaling across render tests. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS does not appear in benchmark comparisons, so its performance in these tests remains unrecorded in the database.

PassMark specialty tests show the Intel chip's strengths in specific operations. Data compression scores 298804, data encryption scores 15916, and extended instructions score 19565. Integer math scores 92089, while floating-point math scores 68587. Random string sorting scores 32027, and find prime numbers scores 114. Physics scores 1624. These results cover a broad range of compute patterns, from memory-heavy sorting to math-intensive workloads.

The Intel Core 5 213PE's percentile ranking of 85 versus 50 for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS indicates a substantial gap in overall performance classification. The Intel chip's average benchmark score of 35428, compared to 0 for the AMD part, reinforces that the Intel processor is the only one of the two with recorded performance data. The nearest rival deltas, all under 0.5 percent, show the Intel chip competing at the top of a tight cluster of high-performance desktop processors.
