AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS vs Intel Core 7 350 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows a clear split between the two processors based on workload type. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS and the Intel Core 7 350 both use six physical cores, but their threading configurations differ significantly. The AMD part supports 12 threads while the Intel part supports only 6 threads. This difference directly influences multithreaded performance.

The Intel Core 7 350 holds a decisive advantage in single-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R15 single-core, it scores 292 points. In Cinebench R20 single-core, it scores 758 points. In Cinebench R23 single-core, it scores 2046 points. These results indicate that the Intel architecture, based on the Wildcat Lake codename and built on a 3 nm process, delivers strong per-core performance despite a modest base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS, by contrast, has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its specifications suggest it should be competitive in multithreaded tasks. With 12 threads, a base clock of 4.30 GHz, a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, and a 45 W TDP, the AMD part targets sustained throughput. The Intel part, with a 15 W TDP, is positioned for lower power consumption, which may limit sustained performance in longer workloads.

The Intel Core 7 350 also demonstrates strengths in several Passmark subtests. Its data compression score is 143123, its data encryption score is 10933, its extended instructions score is 12045, and its floating point math score is 42809. These numbers indicate that the Intel part handles encryption, compression, and floating-point calculations efficiently. The AMD part has no such data recorded, so direct comparison in these areas is not possible from the database.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the available data, the Intel Core 7 350 is the only processor with recorded benchmark results. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no percentile ranking in the database. The Intel part holds a percentile of 71 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17779.

The nearest rivals to the Intel Core 7 350 provide context for its standing. The Intel Core 5 221TE scores 17860, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD EPYC 9374F scores 17693, which is 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 17891, which is 0.6% higher. The Intel Core 5 120U scores 17898, which is 0.7% higher. These deltas show that the Intel Core 7 350 sits in a narrow performance band, within 1% of all four closest rivals.

For users who prioritize single-threaded responsiveness, the Intel Core 7 350 delivers verified results. For users who require multithreaded throughput, the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS offers 12 threads versus 6, but no measured data confirms its actual performance. The database cannot validate the AMD part's real-world behavior. The Intel part, meanwhile, has a launch MSRP of $469, a specification listed once here for reference.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark dataset between the two processors is empty. No direct comparison scores exist in the database. However, the Intel Core 7 350 has its own benchmark suite, which can be examined for strengths and weaknesses.

The Intel Core 7 350's Cinebench scores show balanced performance. Its Cinebench R20 multicore score of 5373 is notably higher than its Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1220, which is expected given the different workload intensities. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 8030 further confirms that the processor scales reasonably with multithreaded demand. The single-core scores across all three Cinebench versions (292, 758, and 2046) show consistent per-core performance.

In Passmark tests, the Intel Core 7 350 delivers its strongest results in data compression (143123) and floating point math (42809). Its integer math score is 33734, its random string sorting score is 17238, and its multithread score is 15170. The single-thread score is 4100, and the physics score is 1173. The lowest recorded score is in find prime numbers at 107, which indicates that this particular workload does not suit the processor's architecture.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no scores in any of these tests. Its specifications alone cannot be used to estimate performance. The database records no wins for either processor, as the wins counter is zero for both. This absence of comparative data means that any head-to-head analysis must rely solely on the Intel part's measured results and the AMD part's architectural attributes.
