AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS or the Intel Core 7 251E. Both processors hold a percentile rank of 50 against all CPUs in the database, and their average benchmark scores are recorded as zero. This means a direct performance comparison based on measured results is not possible from the available data. The absence of scores in the head-to-head benchmark table further confirms that no comparative measurements have been logged for these two parts.

Without benchmark data, the only quantitative comparison available comes from the specification fields. The Intel Core 7 251E offers 24 cores and 32 threads, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS provides 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part also has a higher boost clock of 5.60 GHz compared to 5.10 GHz on the AMD chip. The AMD part starts with a higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus 2.10 GHz on the Intel part. These clock and core count differences suggest divergent workload characteristics, but they cannot be translated into performance percentages without actual test results.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is a mobile processor, while the Intel Core 7 251E is a desktop processor. This market segmentation is significant. The database records no benchmark wins for either processor, so no win/loss tally can be presented. The data indicates that any performance claims must rely on architectural analysis rather than measured outcomes.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point, part of AMD's 8000 series. It is built on a 4 nm process node at TSMC, with a die size of 178 mm² and 25,000 million transistors. The Intel Core 7 251E uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process node at Intel, with a die size of 257 mm². The Intel part has no transistor count listed in the database.

Cache configurations differ substantially. 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 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part therefore has more cache at every level, with over double the L3 capacity.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD part supports DDR5 memory only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, and both have the same peak memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCI Express connectivity reveals a major generation gap. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Core 7 251E provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part uses a newer PCIe standard but offers fewer lanes. The socket types are incompatible: the AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part uses the Radeon 780M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions, but the database does not provide comparative graphics benchmark scores. The Intel part is listed with a launch MSRP of $384, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

The Intel Core 7 251E was released on 2025-01-12, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS was released on 2024-04-01. The AMD part belongs to the Ryzen Embedded line under the Zen 4 (Hawk Point) generation. The Intel part belongs to the Core 7 family under the Bartlett Lake generation. Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, which is a more advanced manufacturing node than the 10 nm process used by the Intel Core 7 251E. The smaller node typically indicates higher transistor density and potentially better power efficiency per operation. The AMD part also has a higher base clock, 3.80 GHz versus 2.10 GHz, which may benefit workloads that rely on sustained single-thread activity at moderate frequencies without boosting.

The Intel Core 7 251E has a clear structural advantage in multicore capacity. With 24 cores and 32 threads against 8 cores and 16 threads, the Intel part offers three times the core count and double the thread count. The larger L3 cache, 36 MB versus 16 MB, may help in workloads with large working sets that benefit from faster cache hits. The Intel part also has a higher boost clock at 5.60 GHz versus 5.10 GHz, which could benefit lightly threaded tasks that can hit maximum turbo frequencies.

The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving system builders flexibility in memory selection. The AMD part is restricted to DDR5. The Intel part also uses PCIe Gen 5, which provides higher per-lane bandwidth compared to the AMD part's PCIe Gen 4, although the AMD part offers more total lanes at 20 versus 16. For systems with Gen 5 storage or expansion cards, the Intel platform has the newer interface.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is a mobile processor with a 45 W TDP, while the Intel Core 7 251E is a desktop processor with a 65 W TDP. The lower TDP on the AMD part suggests it is designed for thermally constrained environments such as compact embedded systems or laptops. The higher TDP on the Intel part suggests it expects a more robust cooling solution, which is typical for desktop sockets.

Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not an officially supported path for either. The AMD part has a smaller die at 178 mm² versus 257 mm² on the Intel part, which may have implications for manufacturing cost and yield, though the database does not provide pricing details for the AMD chip.

The Verdict

The recorded data does not include benchmark scores, so a definitive performance verdict cannot be derived from measured results. The Intel Core 7 251E has the structural advantage in core count, thread count, L3 cache size, boost clock, and PCIe generation. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has the advantage in base clock, process node size, die size, and TDP. These are architectural facts, not performance measurements.

For a system builder choosing between these two, the decision rests on platform requirements. The Intel Core 7 251E is a desktop processor on Socket 1700 with DDR4 and DDR5 support and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is a mobile processor on Socket FP8 with DDR5-only support and PCIe Gen 4 connectivity. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $384, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP in the database.

The AMD part is suited to embedded or mobile applications where the 45 W TDP and smaller die are relevant. The Intel part is suited to desktop builds where the 65 W TDP, 24 cores, and 32 threads can be fully utilized. The database shows no benchmark wins for either processor, so no winner can be declared from performance data. The choice depends on the target platform and workload requirements, not on measured performance.
