AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS vs Intel Core 7 253PQE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear performance hierarchy between these two processors. The Intel Core 7 253PQE holds the 91st percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS sits at the 50th percentile. This is a substantial gap, placing the Intel part firmly in the upper tier of recorded processors. The AMD part, by contrast, lands at the median of all recorded CPUs.

The Intel Core 7 253PQE also carries a recorded average benchmark score of 55,919, which places it within 1.1% of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX, a workstation-class processor. Its nearest rivals are all high-end parts: the Intel Core i9-14900HX (0.2% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 (0.6% behind), and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 (0.7% behind). This positioning indicates the Core 7 253PQE competes at the top of the desktop and mobile performance envelope.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. As such, the data cannot confirm any performance advantage for this part. The only meaningful conclusion from the recorded data is that the Intel Core 7 253PQE is the processor with demonstrated multi-threaded and single-threaded performance data, while the AMD part lacks any recorded benchmarks. For anyone selecting based on available database measurements, the Intel Core 7 253PQE is the only part with verified performance numbers, and those numbers place it among the fastest processors recorded.

The Intel part also offers more cores (10 versus 6) and more threads (20 versus 12), a higher boost clock (5.70 GHz versus 5.00 GHz), and a larger L3 cache (33 MB versus 16 MB). These specification differences align with its higher recorded benchmark scores. The AMD part is not without merits: it uses a smaller 4 nm process, draws less power (45 W versus 125 W), and has a higher base clock (4.30 GHz versus 3.50 GHz). However, without benchmark data, those advantages cannot be quantified in performance terms.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 253PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The Intel part does not have recorded transistor count or die size in the database.

Core topology differs significantly. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, with 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has 10 cores and 20 threads, with 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives the Intel part roughly double the L3 capacity and more than double the thread count.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses with identical recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ by generation and lane count. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part uses a newer PCIe generation, though with fewer lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part uses the Radeon 760M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. The database records no benchmark scores for either iGPU, so relative graphics performance cannot be assessed.

The market segments differ: the AMD part is classified as Mobile, while the Intel part is classified as Desktop. Their sockets are incompatible: AMD Socket FP8 for the AMD part, Intel Socket 1700 for the Intel part. The release dates also differ: the AMD part was released on 2024-04-01, while the Intel part is dated 2026-03-08. Both are listed as Active in production status, and both have locked multipliers.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two processors. The wins counter shows 0 for both parts, and the head-to-head benchmark array is empty. This means no side-by-side test results exist in the recorded data. However, the Intel Core 7 253PQE does have a full suite of individual benchmark scores, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has none.

For the Intel Core 7 253PQE, the Cinebench results show strong multi-threaded performance. The Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 3,163, with a single-core score of 446. Cinebench R20 shows 13,183 multi-core and 1,861 single-core. Cinebench R23 records 31,390 multi-core and 4,431 single-core. These scores demonstrate a processor that scales well across all cores while maintaining competitive single-thread performance.

PassMark results for the Intel part cover a range of workloads. Multi-thread performance scores 41,656, while single-thread performance scores 4,389. Integer math scores 137,795, and floating-point math scores 105,279. Data compression scores 487,335, while data encryption scores 25,515. Extended instructions score 32,390, and random string sorting scores 54,222. Physics scores 2,970, and finding prime numbers scores 206.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no recorded scores in any of these tests. The database cannot confirm how it would perform in Cinebench or PassMark workloads. The only comparative statements possible from the data are architectural: the AMD part has fewer cores, fewer threads, less L3 cache, a lower boost clock, and a higher base clock. It also has a lower TDP (45 W versus 125 W), which suggests it is designed for lower power envelopes, but no efficiency measurements exist in the recorded data.

The percentile ranking reinforces the gap. The Intel Core 7 253PQE sits at the 91st percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 50th percentile. This places the Intel part in the top 9% of all recorded processors, while the AMD part sits exactly at the median. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 55,919 is also within 1.1% of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX, a clear indication of its high-end positioning.

Given the absence of any recorded benchmarks for the AMD part, the data supports only one conclusion: the Intel Core 7 253PQE is the processor with verified performance data, and that data places it among the fastest CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS cannot be positioned relative to it in any workload, as no measurements exist. The Intel part also delivers more cores, more threads, a larger cache, and a higher boost clock, all of which align with its superior recorded benchmark results.
