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

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the Intel Core 7 253PTE as the dominant performer in this comparison. Its average benchmark score of 34,962 places it at the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0. The Intel part’s performance profile is essentially identical to that of the Intel Core i7-13800H, trailing it by only 0.1% in average score. The AMD processor, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, which prevents any direct numerical comparison between the two in most workloads.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE is a desktop-oriented processor with 10 cores and 20 threads, which gives it a substantial hardware advantage over the 6-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS. The Intel part also boosts to 5.40 GHz, higher than the AMD chip’s 5.00 GHz maximum. For users selecting a processor for compute-heavy desktop workloads, the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the clear choice based on the available data. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS, with its 45 W TDP and mobile market segment designation, targets embedded systems where its smaller core count and lower power envelope may be acceptable trade-offs, though no benchmark evidence is available to confirm its performance level.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS belongs to the 8000 series and uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 253PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is built on Intel’s 10 nm process. The AMD chip features 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel chip features 10 cores and 20 threads, a 4-core and 8-thread advantage.

Cache configurations differ notably. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor offers 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 253PTE wins in every measurable performance category in the database because the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no recorded benchmark results. The Intel part’s 10 cores and 20 threads provide a clear advantage in multi-threaded workloads, as reflected in its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,276 and PassMark multi-thread score of 25,031. Its high boost clock of 5.40 GHz contributes to a PassMark single-thread score of 3,794, indicating strong per-core performance for lightly threaded applications.

The Intel processor’s larger cache hierarchy, with 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB of L2 per core, supports workloads that repeatedly access large data sets. Its Gen 5 PCIe support, offering 16 lanes, provides higher bandwidth per lane for compatible peripherals. Support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory gives system builders flexibility in memory selection, which can matter in deployments where memory availability or cost is a constraint. The Intel part’s launch MSRP of $384 positions it as a desktop processor for systems that need consistent multi-core throughput.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS wins in areas that are architectural rather than performance-based. It uses a 4 nm process, which is smaller than the Intel part’s 10 nm process, and it integrates the Radeon 760M graphics, which may offer different graphics capabilities than the Intel UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part uses Gen 4 PCIe with 20 lanes, providing more total lanes than the Intel processor. Its mobile market segment and AMD Socket FP8 indicate it is designed for embedded and portable applications where the 45 W TDP and smaller core count may be sufficient. The AMD processor also has no launch MSRP recorded, which means its cost positioning is not defined in the database.

For users whose workloads align with the Intel processor’s benchmark results, such as rendering, compilation, or data processing, the Intel Core 7 253PTE delivers the only measured performance evidence available. The AMD processor’s lack of benchmark data means any assessment of its performance must remain qualitative, based on its core count, clock speeds, and cache sizes. The data clearly favors the Intel Core 7 253PTE for anyone prioritizing verified performance.
