AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS vs Intel Core 3 305 Comparison

The Verdict

The database contains benchmark results for only one of these two processors. The Intel Core 3 305 has a recorded average benchmark score of 18,302, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile by default. For users who need verified performance data, the Intel Core 3 305 is the only option with measurable results. The AMD part remains an unquantified entry in the database.

The Intel Core 3 305's average score of 18,302 puts it within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600E (18,230), and it trails the Intel Core i3-14100 (18,318) by only 0.1%. The nearest rivals are tightly clustered, with the Intel Core 5 330 (18,345) and Intel Core 7 360 (18,374) sitting 0.2% and 0.4% higher respectively. This indicates the Core 3 305 delivers performance consistent with a mid-range mobile processor.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS, lacking any benchmark entries, cannot be positioned against the Intel part or any other rival. Its hardware specifications suggest capability, but the data does not support a performance verdict.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 305 wins in every benchmark category because it is the only part with recorded scores. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 13,123 points. Its single-core Cinebench R23 result is 1,852. The PassMark suite shows a multithread score of 15,439 and a single-thread score of 3,977. Data compression reaches 146,857, while data encryption hits 11,019. Extended instructions score 13,543, floating point math reaches 42,284, and integer math scores 32,295. Random string sorting produces 17,623, physics scores 1,233, and prime number finding scores 115.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has zero benchmark wins in the database. There are no recorded measurements for any workload, so no use-case advantage can be established from the data. Its architectural features, including 8 cores and 16 threads, may suggest strengths in multithreaded tasks, but without benchmark confirmation, such claims remain speculative.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in architecture, fabrication, and physical design. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, belonging to the 8000 series and the Ryzen Embedded generation. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, containing 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 3 305 uses the Wildcat Lake codename under the Core 3 generation, built on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. Its transistor count and die size are not recorded.

Core and thread configurations diverge sharply. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part has 6 cores and 6 threads. The AMD processor runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts to 5.10 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 1.50 GHz and boosts to 4.30 GHz. Thermal design power also differs, with AMD at 45 watts and Intel at 15 watts.

Cache hierarchies are organized differently. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has a total of 192 KB L1 cache, 2.5 MB L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and ECC memory. The Intel part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s bandwidth and no ECC support.

PCIe lanes differ as well. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 780M, while the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core. Sockets are incompatible: AMD Socket FP8 for the AMD part, Intel BGA 1516 for the Intel part. The AMD chip was released on 2024-04-01, the Intel chip on 2026-04-15. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $309.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors. The Intel Core 3 305 has a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark scores, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has none.

Looking at the Intel part alone, its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13,123 indicates strong parallel performance for a 6-core, 15-watt mobile processor. The single-core score of 1,852 in the same test shows moderate per-thread capability. In PassMark testing, the multithread score of 15,439 and single-thread score of 3,977 are recorded. Data compression at 146,857 is notably high compared to other PassMark results, suggesting efficient execution of compression workloads. Data encryption at 11,019 and extended instructions at 13,543 are more moderate. Floating point math at 42,284 exceeds integer math at 32,295, indicating relatively stronger floating-point throughput.
