AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X vs Intel Core Ultra 7 265T Comparison

The database compares two active desktop processors from AMD and Intel: the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X and the Intel Core Ultra 7 265T. The AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores, while the Intel part has a full set of Cinebench and Passmark results. The performance side of this comparison therefore rests entirely on the Intel part, while the architectural and specification records provide the only basis for describing the AMD part.

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head win counters for this pair are both zero because no direct head-to-head benchmark rows exist. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X has no benchmark entries in the database. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265T has 17 recorded scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23 and Passmark workloads. In every benchmark category with a recorded score, the Intel part is the only participant with a result. On the recorded data, the Intel part claims all benchmark wins by default. The AMD part cannot be assigned a benchmark win in any workload. Its only recorded performance fields are an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile ranking, neither of which is backed by any workload result.

The use-case split follows from the same data. For multi-threaded rendering workloads, the Intel part records 3180 in Cinebench R15, 13254 in R20, and 31558 in R23. For single-threaded rendering, it records 449 in R15, 1871 in R20, and 4455 in R23. Passmark results cover integer math at 104943, floating point math at 129817, data compression at 370158, data encryption at 29687, extended instructions at 28609, physics at 2391, random string sorting at 44400, prime-number finding at 322, multithread at 37084, and single-thread at 4338. In the absence of AMD scores, these are the only recorded workload results in this comparison.

The Verdict

Strictly from the recorded data, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265T is the supported choice for any workload with a benchmark result. Its average benchmark score is 47697, and it sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X has an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile listing, but those values reflect the absence of benchmark entries rather than measured performance.

The Intel part's nearest rivals place it in a tight cluster: 47527 for the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945, 47908 for the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D, 47918 for the AMD Ryzen 9 3900, and 47468 for the Intel Core Ultra X9 378H. The Core Ultra 7 265T's 47697 average sits 0.4% above the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 and the Intel Core Ultra X9 378H, 0.4% below the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and 0.5% below the AMD Ryzen 9 3900. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X has no nearest rival entries, so no comparable measured positioning exists for it.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark entries are absent for this pairing. The database's head-to-head list for these two processors is empty. The AMD part has no benchmark array, so no head-to-head margin can be calculated in either direction. The Intel part's standalone results are the only benchmark evidence.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel part scores 3180 multi-core and 449 single-core. In R20, it scores 13254 multi-core and 1871 single-core. In R23, it scores 31558 multi-core and 4455 single-core. Passmark results are: data compression 370158, data encryption 29687, extended instructions 28609, find prime numbers 322, floating point math 129817, integer math 104943, multithread 37084, physics 2391, random string sorting 44400, and single-thread 4338. The largest Intel score is data compression at 370158; the smallest is find prime numbers at 322. Without any AMD score, these numbers cannot be converted into a head-to-head win margin. The biggest win in the recorded data is therefore not a margin but the presence of a complete Intel benchmark set against an empty AMD set.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use different silicon designs. AMD's part uses the Granite Ridge codename and carries the Ryzen Embedded (Zen 5 (Granite Ridge)) generation label. Intel's part uses the Arrow Lake-S codename and carries the Ultra 7 (Arrow Lake) generation label. The AMD processor is built on a 4 nm TSMC process with 16,630 million transistors across 2x 70.6 mm² dies. The Intel processor is built on a 3 nm TSMC process with 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die.

The core arrangements differ: 12 cores and 24 threads for AMD, 20 cores and 20 threads for Intel. Cache hierarchies also differ. AMD provides 80 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 64 MB of L3. Intel provides 192 KB of L1 and 3 MB of L2 per core, with 30 MB of shared L3. Both parts support DDR5 on a dual-channel memory bus, but the recorded memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s for AMD and 102.4 GB/s for Intel. AMD supports ECC memory; Intel does not. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 in both cases, with 24 CPU lanes for AMD and 20 CPU lanes for Intel. Integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon Graphics, while Intel uses Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU. The AMD multiplier is unlocked, while the Intel multiplier is locked.
