AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X vs Intel Core Ultra 7 258V Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X against the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V. The AMD part has an empty benchmark array, meaning no recorded scores exist for it in the database. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, by contrast, has a full set of 19 benchmark entries across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark suites.

Without recorded scores for the Ryzen Embedded 9700X, direct numerical comparisons are impossible. However, the Intel part's percentile ranking provides context. The Core Ultra 7 258V sits at the 74th percentile across all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 20,454. Its nearest rivals show a tightly clustered field: the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 scores 20,468, a delta of -0.1 percent; the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20,425, a delta of +0.1 percent; the AMD EPYC 9454P scores 20,422, a delta of +0.2 percent; and the AMD EPYC 7713 scores 20,363, a delta of +0.4 percent. These deltas indicate the Core Ultra 7 258V performs essentially on par with four established desktop and server processors, all within a 0.5 percent band.

The absence of AMD benchmark data means the head-to-head section must rely on the Intel part's recorded results alone. In Cinebench R23, the Core Ultra 7 258V produces a multi-core score of 10,301 and a single-core score of 1,872. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 6,739 with a single-core score of 951. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multi-core score of 1,596.5 and a single-core score of 285. Geekbench results show a multi-core score of 9,325 and a single-core score of 2,100. Passmark tests reveal strengths in data compression (176,686), floating point math (57,372), integer math (42,889), and random string sorting (21,580). Extended instructions score 14,717, data encryption scores 13,534, and multithread performance scores 18,887. The physics test records 1,565, single-thread performance records 4,018, and find prime numbers records 185.

These figures establish the Intel part's absolute performance levels. Without matching AMD numbers, the database cannot quantify a win margin in either direction. The Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no recorded scores, so claims about which processor wins specific workloads cannot be substantiated from the available data.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V clearly wins in terms of data availability for every benchmark category in the database. It has recorded scores across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 for both multi-core and single-core tests, plus Geekbench multi-core and single-core, plus nine Passmark subtests. This coverage allows the database to characterize its performance profile comprehensively.

The Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no benchmark scores in the database. Therefore, no workload can be identified as a win for it based on recorded data. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in the head-to-head field, confirming that no comparative results were recorded.

The Intel part's benchmark profile shows particular strength in data compression, where the Passmark score of 176,686 far exceeds its other recorded subtests. Floating point math at 57,372 and integer math at 42,889 indicate balanced arithmetic capability. The multi-core Cinebench scores (10,301 in R23, 6,739 in R20, 1,596.5 in R15) suggest the 8-core, 8-thread configuration scales effectively across rendering workloads. Single-core scores (1,872 in R23, 951 in R20, 285 in R15) reflect the boost clock capability of 4.80 GHz.

The AMD part's specification sheet suggests potential strengths based on architecture alone: 8 cores with 16 threads, a base clock of 3.80 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 support at 89.6 GB/s bandwidth position it as a desktop-class processor. Its 32 MB shared L3 cache and 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes indicate a design aimed at throughput-oriented tasks. However, these are specifications, not benchmark results. The database cannot declare a win for the AMD part in any category because no scores were recorded.

For use-case analysis, the Intel part's recorded data shows it as a capable mobile processor in the 74th percentile. Its nearest rivals, all AMD parts, score within 0.4 percent, indicating the Core Ultra 7 258V competes directly with the Ryzen 5 5600, Ryzen 5 8500G, EPYC 9454P, and EPYC 7713 in aggregate performance. The Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no percentile ranking beyond the 50th percentile placeholder, which reflects the absence of data rather than a measured performance level.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X uses the Zen 5 architecture with the Granite Ridge codename, fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The generation field identifies it as Ryzen Embedded (Zen 5 (Granite Ridge)). The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V uses the Lunar Lake architecture with the same codename, fabricated on a 3 nm process by TSMC. The generation field identifies it as Ultra 7 (Lunar Lake).

Core architecture differs fundamentally. The AMD part uses 8 cores with 16 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading support. The Intel part uses 8 cores with 8 threads, indicating no simultaneous multithreading. This threading difference affects multi-threaded workload scaling, though the Intel part's recorded Cinebench multi-core scores demonstrate its efficiency in threaded tasks.

Cache hierarchy differs in both size and organization. The AMD part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a 32 MB shared L3 pool. The Intel part allocates 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and a 12 MB shared L3 pool. The larger per-core L1 and L2 on the Intel part may benefit latency-sensitive single-thread workloads, while the larger shared L3 on the AMD part provides more capacity for data shared across cores.

The AMD part's transistor count of 8,315 million on a 70.6 mm² die indicates a dense implementation. The Intel part has no recorded transistor count or die size, so a density comparison cannot be made from the database.

Memory architecture differs in bandwidth. The Intel part supports 136.5 GB/s memory bandwidth, while the AMD part supports 89.6 GB/s. Both use dual-channel configurations, but the LPDDR5X memory type on the Intel part delivers higher recorded bandwidth.
