AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B vs Intel Core i7-7700T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a remarkably consistent picture when comparing the Intel Core i7-7700T against the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B. Across every recorded test, the AMD part takes the win, and the margins are strikingly uniform. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B secured victories in all six head-to-head comparisons, with the Intel Core i7-7700T failing to claim a single benchmark.

In the Cinebench R15 suite, the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B scored 701 in the multi-core test, which is 7.8% ahead of the Intel Core i7-7700T's 646. The single-core test shows a similar story: the AMD part scores 98, beating Intel's 91 by 7.1%. Moving to Cinebench R20, the AMD processor extends its lead slightly to 7.8% in both tests. The Ryzen Embedded V1807B records 2921 in multi-core versus 2692 for the Intel chip, and 412 in single-core versus 380. The most recent Cinebench R23 results confirm the trend. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B posts 6957 in multi-core, a 7.9% advantage over the Intel Core i7-7700T's 6410. In the single-core R23 test, the AMD chip scores 982, which is 7.8% higher than the Intel's 905.

These deltas are not insignificant. A consistent 7 to 8 percent advantage across different rendering workloads indicates a genuine performance gap, not a measurement anomaly. The pattern is so consistent that the relative standing between these two CPUs is clear: the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B is the faster part in this comparison. The data also shows that both processors sit in the 45th percentile of all CPUs in the database, placing them on equal footing in the broader landscape, despite the AMD chip's head-to-head supremacy. The average benchmark scores reflect this parity: the Intel Core i7-7700T has an average score of 2039, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B averages 2012.

Interestingly, the nearest rivals for each chip reinforce their similar tier. The Intel Core i7-7700T's closest competitors include the AMD Opteron 6386 SE at 2038 (a 0.1% delta), the Intel Core i7-3960X at 2037 (0.1%), the Intel Xeon E3-1275 v5 at 2043 (-0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U at 2035 (0.2%). For the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B, the nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 1700 at 2015 (-0.1%), the Intel Core i5-8300H at 2005 (0.3%), the Intel Xeon D-1712TR at 2004 (0.4%), and the Intel Core i5-8400H at 2003 (0.4%). These rival lists show both chips are clustered within a narrow band of performance, but the direct comparison leaves no doubt about which is faster.

The Verdict

For anyone choosing strictly on raw compute performance, the data points directly to the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B. It wins every single benchmark test in the comparison, with margins ranging from 7.1% to 7.9%. This is a broad and consistent advantage across multiple versions of the Cinebench rendering workload, both in single-core and multi-core scenarios. The AMD chip's higher base clock of 3.35 GHz compared to the Intel's 2.90 GHz, combined with the same 3.80 GHz boost clock, helps explain this edge in the recorded scores.

However, the Intel Core i7-7700T is not without its merits. The database shows a significant difference in thermal design power: the Intel chip is rated at 35 W, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B is rated at 45 W. For systems where power draw and heat dissipation are primary constraints, the Intel part holds an advantage. The Intel chip also features a larger shared L3 cache of 8 MB, compared to 2 MB on the AMD part, which could influence certain cache-sensitive workloads, though the benchmark data does not show this translating into a win for Intel in the tested scenarios.

The choice ultimately depends on priorities. If maximum compute throughput in rendering tasks is the goal, the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B is the clear pick. The data shows it is consistently faster in every measured workload. If power efficiency is the dominant concern, the Intel Core i7-7700T's 35 W TDP makes it the more attractive option for thermally constrained or low-power designs. Both processors are still in active production, so availability should not be a deciding factor. Neither chip has an unlocked multiplier, meaning overclocking is not a supported path for either.
