The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has an average benchmark score of 0 and is at the 50th percentile, with no benchmark results recorded in the database. The Intel part is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13700T, 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700KF, 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13600T, and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700K. These nearest rivals all have average scores very close to 35,400, confirming that the Intel Core 5 213PE sits in a competitive performance band.

For users requiring a processor with a higher boost clock, more PCIe lanes, and a smaller manufacturing process, the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X delivers those specifications. It also offers an unlocked multiplier and a larger L3 cache. However, its lack of recorded benchmark scores means there is no measured performance data to compare against the Intel part.

The Intel Core 5 213PE is the choice supported by actual benchmark results. Its Cinebench and Passmark scores demonstrate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The recorded data shows it outperforms the AMD part in every measured category, simply because the AMD part has no recorded scores. The Intel processor also has a launch MSRP of $221.
