AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D vs Intel Core 5 220H Comparison

The database has no paired benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D and the Intel Core 5 220H. The only benchmark set recorded for this comparison belongs to the Intel part, so the AMD part cannot be ranked against it by measured scores. What the data does provide is a complete specification profile for both processors, an 80th percentile rank and an average benchmark score of 28574 for Intel, and a 50th percentile rank with an average benchmark score of 0 for AMD.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Because the database has no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, there are no recorded wins in either direction. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has an empty benchmark list and an average benchmark score of 0. The 50th percentile rank and average score of 0 reflect the absence of benchmark submissions for the AMD part, not a measured result. The Intel Core 5 220H has recorded Cinebench and PassMark results. Its Cinebench R15 multicore score is 1835 and single-core 262. In Cinebench R20, it scores 7812 multicore and 1102 single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 11198 multicore and 1853 single-core. Among the Cinebench results, the R23 multicore score of 11198 is the highest multicore figure, and the R23 single-core score of 1853 is the highest single-core figure.

PassMark results for the Intel part include data compression 247921, data encryption 15216, extended instructions 14642, find prime numbers 82, floating point math 51671, integer math 73555, multithread 21884, physics 1478, random string sorting 28438, and single thread 3405. The largest recorded PassMark score is data compression at 247921, and the smallest is find prime numbers at 82. These results place the Intel part at an 80th percentile rank with an average benchmark score of 28574. The AMD part has no recorded score and sits at the 50th percentile.

The nearest-rival list for the Intel part shows how tightly its average score is grouped. The AMD EPYC 7203P records 28583 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS records 28549 with a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Xeon E-2436 records 28530 with a delta of 0.2%, and the Intel Core i5-12600 records 28646 with a delta of -0.3%. The largest positive margin in that set is 0.2% ahead of the Xeon E-2436, and the largest negative margin is 0.3% behind the Core i5-12600. No equivalent nearest-rival data exists for the AMD part.

Q: Do both processors support ECC memory?

A: No. AMD supports ECC memory with DDR5. Intel does not support ECC memory and supports both DDR4 and DDR5. AMD memory bandwidth is listed as 89.6 GB/s; Intel memory bandwidth is not listed.

Q: Are the sockets and market segments different?

A: Yes. AMD uses AMD Socket AM5 and is classified as Desktop. Intel uses Intel BGA 1744 and is classified as Mobile. AMD has a TDP of 120; Intel has a TDP of 45.

The Verdict

With no direct benchmark data for the AMD part, the database cannot declare a measured performance winner. The Intel Core 5 220H is the only processor in this pair with benchmark results, an average score of 28574, and an 80th percentile rank. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no recorded scores and a 50th percentile rank. For a desktop AM5 processor with 24 threads, 128 MB L3, ECC DDR5, 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, and an unlocked multiplier, the AMD part is the only one with those specifications. For a mobile BGA 1744 processor with a TDP of 45, DDR4 or DDR5 support, and measured Cinebench and PassMark results, the Intel part is the only one with those specifications. The data supports a platform-based split rather than a single overall winner. Any direct performance ranking between the two would require benchmark entries for the AMD part, which the database does not contain.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD part wins in the specification categories that support a desktop compute platform: thread count (24 vs 16), boost clock (5.50 vs 4.90), L3 cache (128 MB vs 18 MB), memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s vs not listed), ECC support, PCIe lane count (24 vs 8), and unlocked multiplier. The Intel part wins in the categories backed by measured results: it has the only recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 28574, an 80th percentile rank, a lower TDP of 45, support for both DDR4 and DDR5, and a mobile socket.

The use-case split follows those differences. AMD's recorded specifications point to an AM5 desktop processor with high thread count, large cache, and wide PCIe connectivity. Intel's recorded data points to a mobile processor with a lower power envelope and a measured performance profile. In workloads that depend on cache capacity, the AMD L3 figure of 128 MB is the larger recorded value. In workloads represented by PassMark integer math 73555, floating point math 51671, and multithread 21884, the Intel part carries the only measured results.
