Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS uses Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen Embedded series from the 8000 series. It is fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 360 uses Wildcat Lake architecture under the Core 5 generation naming, built on Intel's 3 nm process. The Intel chip's transistor count and die size are not recorded.

The cache layouts differ significantly. The AMD part allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, but only 6 MB of shared L3. The AMD chip's larger shared L3 cache gives it a potential advantage in workloads that repeatedly access a common data set across cores.

Memory architecture separates the two clearly. The AMD processor uses a dual-channel DDR5 interface with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and ECC support. The Intel processor uses a single-channel interface covering DDR5 and LPDDR5X, delivering 59.7 GB/s bandwidth without ECC. The AMD part's memory bandwidth is 50% higher on paper, which can matter for memory-bound tasks.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core 7 360 provides Gen 4 with only 6 lanes. This gives the AMD platform substantially more expansion headroom for storage, accelerators, or additional controllers.

Integrated graphics present another divergence. The AMD part uses Radeon 760M graphics. The Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. Neither has dedicated benchmark data in the database, so direct graphics comparison is not possible from the recorded facts.

The process nodes differ: 4 nm from TSMC for AMD versus 3 nm from Intel for the Intel chip. The Intel part's smaller node suggests higher transistor density, but without transistor counts for the Intel chip, density comparisons cannot be quantified.

The AMD processor's TDP is 45 watts, while the Intel processor's TDP is 15 watts. This threefold difference in power envelope reflects their intended deployment: the AMD part targets embedded systems with more thermal headroom, while the Intel part aims at power-sensitive mobile designs.

Release timing is also distinct. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS launched with a release date of 2024-04-01. The Intel Core 7 360 carries a release date of 2026-04-15. The Intel part is a newer design by roughly two years.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an asymmetric picture. The Intel Core 7 360 has a full benchmark suite demonstrating solid mid-range performance, landing at the 72nd percentile with an average score of 18,374. Its nearest rivals, the Core i3-13100 at 18,380, the Core 5 330 at 18,345, the Core i3-14100 at 18,318, and the Core 3 305 at 18,302, all sit within 0.4% of its average score. This indicates the Intel chip performs at a level comparable to recent desktop i3-class parts.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no benchmark scores, no rivals, and a percentile rank of 50. This does not mean the chip is slow; it means the database lacks measurements for it. The architectural data shows the AMD part carries a higher TDP (45 W versus 15 W), a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.80 GHz), double the threads (12 versus 6), more L3 cache (16 MB versus 6 MB), dual-channel memory with ECC, and 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes. These specifications position it as a more capable platform for embedded workloads that need I/O, memory bandwidth, and sustained multi-threaded throughput.

For users choosing between these two, the decision hinges on available data versus known requirements. The Intel Core 7 360 is a proven quantity in third-party benchmark measurements, with results placing it in the upper quarter of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS is an unproven quantity in this database, but its specifications suggest it targets a different use case: embedded systems requiring ECC memory, wide PCIe connectivity, and higher sustained power limits.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification category. Core counts match at 6, but thread counts diverge: the AMD part supports 12 threads, the Intel part supports 6. Base clocks differ dramatically: 4.30 GHz for AMD versus 1.50 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are closer, with AMD at 5.00 GHz and Intel at 4.80 GHz. TDP shows a 45 W versus 15 W split.

Memory support shows AMD with DDR5 only and Intel with DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Memory buses differ: dual-channel for AMD, single-channel for Intel. Memory bandwidth measures 89.6 GB/s for AMD versus 59.7 GB/s for Intel. ECC memory is supported by AMD but not by Intel.

PCIe configurations differ: AMD provides 20 Gen 4 lanes, Intel provides 6 Gen 4 lanes. Sockets are incompatible: AMD Socket FP8 versus Intel BGA 1516. Process nodes differ: 4 nm from TSMC for AMD, 3 nm from Intel for the Intel chip. Cache structures differ in both per-core and shared allocations: AMD uses 64 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core with 16 MB shared L3; Intel uses 192 KB L1 and 2.5 MB L2 per core with 6 MB shared L3.

Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 760M on AMD versus Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores on Intel. Release dates differ: 2024-04-01 for AMD, 2026-04-15 for Intel. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $426 and a part number of SAE3E; the AMD part has neither listed. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 360 wins in measured performance. Its benchmark scores demonstrate strong multi-core throughput in Cinebench R23 (13,634), R20 (5,726), and R15 (1,374). PassMark results show particular aptitude for data compression (142,877), floating point math (44,963), and integer math (34,238). Its single-thread PassMark score of 4,274 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,924 indicate solid single-threaded responsiveness. The 15 W TDP makes it suited for power-constrained mobile designs. Its position at the 72nd percentile and its near-identical average score to four established rivals confirm it delivers mainstream desktop-class performance in a low-power package.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS wins in architectural headroom. The 45 W TDP allows sustained operation under load without the power throttling that a 15 W part may encounter. The dual-channel memory interface with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and ECC support serves reliability-critical embedded workloads. The 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes enable multiple high-speed devices, far beyond the Intel part's 6 lanes. The 12 threads versus 6 threads gives the AMD part additional parallel processing capacity when software can exploit it. The 16 MB shared L3 cache is more than double the Intel chip's 6 MB, which can reduce memory traffic in cache-resident workloads. The 5.00 GHz boost clock edges out Intel's 4.80 GHz peak.

However, the absence of benchmark data for the AMD part means none of these architectural advantages are confirmed by measured results. The database shows zero recorded scores for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS, so any performance claims about it rest on specification analysis rather than empirical testing. The Intel Core 7 360 has the data to back its positioning. For anyone needing verified performance numbers, the Intel part is the only choice with evidence. For anyone designing an embedded system around specific I/O, memory, and reliability requirements, the AMD part's specification sheet offers capabilities the Intel chip cannot match.
