AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X vs Intel Core Ultra 5 336H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data provides benchmark results only for the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no benchmark scores listed in the database. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for most tests, but the available measurements for the Intel part can still be interpreted against its recorded rivals.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H posts an average benchmark score of 34,485, placing it at the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-13700HX, averages 34,554, a delta of -0.2%, meaning the Ultra 5 trails by a negligible margin. Against the Intel Core i5-13450HX, the Ultra 5 leads by 0.4%, and against the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X it leads by 0.7%. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 trails by 0.8%.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ultra 5 336H scores 23,991 points. This is its strongest multi-threaded result in the Cinebench suite, exceeding its R20 multi-core score of 10,076 and its R15 multi-core score of 2,418. Single-core results follow a similar scaling pattern: R23 single-core at 3,387, R20 single-core at 1,422, and R15 single-core at 341.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data, so it holds every measurable performance win by default. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,991, PassMark multithread score of 28,545, and data compression score of 280,340 indicate strong throughput for heavily threaded workloads. The single-thread PassMark score of 4,013 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,387 show capable per-core performance for less parallel tasks.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X cannot claim any benchmark win because the database contains no scores for it. Its 50th percentile ranking suggests it sits in the middle of the distribution, but without measurements, any performance conclusion would be unsupported. The Intel part's 84th percentile ranking places it well above the midpoint, and its average score of 34,485 is consistent with a processor positioned among high-end mobile parts.

For use cases like data compression, encryption, and floating-point math, the Intel part shows specific strengths. The data compression score of 280,340 dwarfs the encryption score of 21,291 and the extended instructions score of 24,542, indicating that compression-heavy tasks benefit the most. Floating-point math at 82,415 and integer math at 62,070 also represent substantial throughput. The physics score of 2,682 and prime number score of 299 are the lowest recorded results, suggesting those workloads are less favorable.

The AMD part has no wins in any category, but it does offer a higher boost clock at 5.50 GHz versus 4.60 GHz, which could theoretically favor single-thread responsiveness. However, no benchmark data exists to confirm this, so the database cannot verify any advantage.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has 16 cores and 16 threads. This means the Intel part has twice as many cores but the same thread count, indicating the AMD part relies on simultaneous multithreading while the Intel part does not.

Base and boost clocks differ substantially. The AMD part runs at 3.80 GHz base and 5.50 GHz boost, while the Intel part runs at 1.90 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost. Thermal design power also diverges: the AMD part is rated at 65 watts, the Intel part at 25 watts.

Socket types are incompatible. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 2540, meaning the AMD part is a socketed desktop processor and the Intel part is a mobile soldered chip. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked.

Cache layouts differ in capacity and organization. The AMD part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has larger per-core caches but less total L3.

Memory support also differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but memory bandwidth differs: the AMD part records 89.6 GB/s, the Intel part records 115.2 GB/s. The AMD part supports ECC memory, the Intel part does not.

PCIe lane counts vary. The AMD part provides Gen 5 with 24 CPU-only lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 12 CPU-only lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics.

The market segments differ. The AMD part is classified as Desktop, the Intel part as Mobile. Release dates also differ, with the AMD part listed as 2025-10-06 and the Intel part as 2026-01-04. The part numbers are distinct: 100-000001404E for AMD, SA4RD for Intel.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X is built on the Granite Ridge codename and belongs to the Ryzen Embedded generation using Zen 5 (Granite Ridge). It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with 8,315 million transistors and a die size of 70.6 mm².

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is built on the Panther Lake codename and belongs to the Ultra 5 generation using Panther Lake-H. It is fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

These architectural choices lead to different design priorities. The AMD part uses a smaller 4 nm node from TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 3 nm node from Intel's own foundry. The AMD part's larger L3 cache at 32 MB shared, combined with 8 cores and 16 threads, suggests a design focused on high clock speeds and moderate core counts. The Intel part's 16 cores and 16 threads, with 18 MB of shared L3, indicates a design that favors wider parallel execution without hyperthreading.

The Intel part's larger per-core L1 cache at 192 KB versus 80 KB, and L2 cache at 2.5 MB versus 1 MB, points to a microarchitecture optimized for per-core data locality. The AMD part's higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 4.60 GHz suggests a design that prioritizes peak frequency.

ECC support on the AMD part and its absence on the Intel part reflect different target markets. The AMD part's desktop socket and ECC capability align with embedded and workstation use, while the Intel part's mobile socket and lack of ECC align with consumer mobile computing. The Intel part's support for LPDDR5X alongside DDR5 gives it memory flexibility that the AMD part lacks, and its higher memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s versus 89.6 GB/s suggests a memory subsystem optimized for bandwidth.

The Verdict

The database presents a clear asymmetry: the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has extensive benchmark results, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has none. For users who rely on measured performance, the Intel part is the only option with substantiated scores.

The Intel part's 84th percentile ranking and average score of 34,485 place it among strong performers. Its nearest rivals, the Intel Core i7-13700HX and Intel Core i5-13450HX, are separated by less than half a percent, meaning the Ultra 5 336H delivers competitive multi-threaded performance within a narrow band of its peers. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,991 and PassMark multithread score of 28,545 confirm solid parallel throughput.

The AMD part's 50th percentile ranking and zero average score indicate that the database cannot validate any performance level for it. Its higher clock speeds and larger L3 cache suggest potential for single-thread and cache-sensitive workloads, but no measurements exist to confirm these advantages.

For workloads like data compression, where the Intel part scores 280,340, or floating-point math at 82,415, the recorded data shows clear capability. The Intel part's 25-watt TDP also indicates high efficiency relative to its performance, though no efficiency ratio can be calculated without AMD data.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X may suit users who require ECC memory support, a desktop socket, or an unlocked multiplier, all of which the Intel part lacks. But those seeking verified benchmark performance should consider the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H, as it is the only processor in this comparison with recorded measurements. The Intel part leads in memory bandwidth at 115.2 GB/s and provides 16 cores, making it the data-backed choice for multi-threaded mobile workloads.
