AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS vs Intel Core 5 223PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS and the Intel Core 5 223PE. However, the Intel part has a comprehensive set of recorded benchmark scores, while the AMD part has no benchmark entries at all. This asymmetry means the analysis must rely on the Intel Core 5 223PE's measured performance and the architectural and specification data for both processors.

The Intel Core 5 223PE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26455 and a single-core score of 3734. In Cinebench R20, it records 11111 multi-core and 1568 single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 2666 multi-core and 376 single-core. These scores place the Intel chip at the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 40585.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 5 223PE provide context for its standing. The Intel Core 7 253PE scores 40557, which is 0.1% lower than the 223PE. The Intel Xeon 6357P scores 40630, 0.1% higher than the 223PE. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H scores 40518, 0.2% lower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G scores 40718, 0.3% higher. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating the Core 5 223PE sits in a tightly contested performance band around the 40500 to 40700 average score range.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 5 223PE show 346623 in data compression, 18448 in data encryption, 24672 in extended instructions, 159 in find prime numbers, 76468 in floating point math, 99819 in integer math, 31124 in multithread, 2493 in physics, 35798 in random string sorting, and 4219 in single thread (listed twice in the database with identical values). These individual workloads reveal where the processor is strongest and weakest relative to its own average performance.

Where Each One Wins

Without direct head-to-head benchmarks, the wins must be inferred from architecture and specification data. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel Core 5 223PE uses the Bartlett Lake architecture on a 10 nm Intel process, with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel part has a higher boost clock by 0.10 GHz, which could favor single-threaded peak performance scenarios.

The AMD chip carries a 45 W TDP, while the Intel chip carries a 65 W TDP. The lower TDP on the AMD side suggests it may sustain performance in thermally constrained environments, such as compact embedded systems, whereas the Intel part's higher TDP allows for more sustained power draw in desktop-oriented applications. The market segments differ: the AMD is classified as Mobile, and the Intel is classified as Desktop. This distinction points to different design targets, with the AMD part optimized for mobile embedded workloads and the Intel part for stationary desktop embedded use.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS integrates Radeon 780M graphics, which is a more capable integrated GPU than the Intel UHD Graphics 730. For workloads that rely on integrated graphics, such as basic display output, media playback, or light GPU-accelerated tasks, the AMD part likely holds an advantage. The Intel part, with its UHD Graphics 730, targets scenarios where graphics demand is minimal and CPU compute dominates.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Hawk Point, from the 8000 series. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PE uses the Bartlett Lake architecture from the Core 5 series, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The database does not list transistor count or die size for the Intel part.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides more L1 and L2 per core, and 8 MB more shared L3, which can benefit workloads with larger working sets that fit in cache.

Both processors have 8 cores and 16 threads, so the core and thread counts match exactly. The AMD part has a lower base clock (3.80 GHz vs 2.90 GHz) but a lower boost clock (5.10 GHz vs 5.20 GHz). The Intel part's higher boost clock, combined with its larger cache hierarchy, may provide an edge in bursty single-threaded tasks, while the AMD part's higher base clock could sustain all-core workloads at a higher minimum frequency.

Memory support differs: the AMD chip supports DDR5 only, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses with identical memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory, which is a key feature for embedded and reliability-critical applications. The PCIe lanes differ: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part offers a newer PCIe generation, which doubles the per-lane bandwidth, but with fewer lanes total.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several specification fields. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has a base clock of 3.80 GHz, while the Intel Core 5 223PE has a base clock of 2.90 GHz, a 0.90 GHz difference in favor of AMD. The boost clock goes the other way: AMD at 5.10 GHz and Intel at 5.20 GHz, a 0.10 GHz difference in favor of Intel.

TDP is a notable split: AMD at 45 W and Intel at 65 W, with the Intel part drawing 20 W more at its rated thermal design power. The socket differs: AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, while Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The process node differs: AMD at 4 nm (TSMC) and Intel at 10 nm (Intel). The foundry differs accordingly: TSMC for AMD, Intel for Intel.

Cache sizes differ across all levels. L1 per core is 64 KB for AMD and 80 KB for Intel. L2 per core is 1 MB for AMD and 2 MB for Intel. L3 shared is 16 MB for AMD and 24 MB for Intel. Memory support: AMD lists DDR5 only, Intel lists DDR4 and DDR5. PCIe: AMD provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes, Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics: AMD uses Radeon 780M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730.

Market segment: AMD is Mobile, Intel is Desktop. Release dates differ: AMD released on 2024-04-01, Intel released on 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $232, which is stated once here as the recorded value. The AMD part has no launch MSRP in the database.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 5 223PE is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results, and those results place it at the 87th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 40585 is within 0.3% of its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G, which scores 40718. The Intel chip's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26455 and single-core score of 3734, along with a PassMark single-thread score of 4219, demonstrate strong all-around compute capability.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS, lacking benchmark data, cannot be directly compared on measured performance. Its specifications show a lower TDP of 45 W versus 65 W, a higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus 2.90 GHz, and a more capable integrated GPU in the Radeon 780M. The Intel part counters with a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz, larger caches at every level, support for both DDR4 and DDR5, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity.

For applications prioritizing lower power consumption, mobile form factors, and stronger integrated graphics, the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is the choice based on its specification profile. For applications prioritizing measured multi-threaded performance, larger cache capacity, memory flexibility with DDR4 support, and newer PCIe generation, the Intel Core 5 223PE is the choice based on its benchmark results and feature set. The Intel part's 87th percentile standing and the tight 0.1% to 0.3% deltas around its nearest rivals confirm it is a competitive embedded processor in the current database landscape.
