Architecture Differences

The Intel Xeon E-2124G belongs to the Xeon E-2100 series and uses the Coffee Lake architecture, specifically the Coffee Lake-S WS variant. It is built on a 14 nm process by Intel, with a die size of 126 mm². The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B comes from the Ryzen Embedded 1000 series and uses the Zen architecture, produced on a 14 nm process by GlobalFoundries with a significantly larger die size of 210 mm². The AMD chip integrates 4,950 million transistors, while the Intel part does not have a published transistor count in the database.

Core topology differs notably between the two. The Intel Xeon E-2124G has 4 cores and 4 threads, meaning no hyper-threading. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B also has 4 cores but doubles the thread count to 8. Cache hierarchies are also distinct: the Intel part offers 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part provides 128 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, but only 2 MB of shared L3 cache.

The memory controllers are dual-channel DDR4 on both, but the Intel Xeon E-2124G has a published memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B does not list a bandwidth figure. ECC memory support is exclusive to the Intel chip. PCIe configuration is listed only for the Intel part as Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU; the AMD part has no PCIe field in the database.

Clock speeds tell a clear story of design intent. The Intel Xeon E-2124G runs at 3.40 GHz base and boosts to 4.50 GHz. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B runs at 3.35 GHz base and boosts to 3.80 GHz. Thermal design power favors the AMD part at 45 W versus 71 W for the Intel chip. Socket compatibility is entirely different: Intel Socket 1151 for the Xeon, AMD Socket FP5 for the Ryzen Embedded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data shows a clean sweep for the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B. Across all six recorded Cinebench tests, the AMD processor wins every round. The largest margins are consistently around 12.4%, appearing in Cinebench R20 multi-core, R20 single-core, R23 multi-core, and R23 single-core.

In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the AMD part scores 701 against 613 for the Intel Xeon E-2124G, a 12.6% lead. That is the widest gap in the entire comparison. The single-core R15 test shows a 12.2% advantage for AMD, with 98 points versus 86 points.

The R20 tests level out at 12.4% deltas. The AMD chip scores 2921 in multi-core versus 2558, and 412 in single-core versus 361. The R23 results repeat the same 12.4% pattern: 6957 versus 6092 in multi-core, and 982 versus 860 in single-core.

The Intel Xeon E-2124G does have a separate Geekbench result in the database, with 4263 multi-core and 1438 single-core, but the AMD part has no Geekbench entry. In the direct head-to-head Cinebench suite, the Intel processor records zero wins. The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B records six wins.

The average benchmark score across all recorded tests lands at 2034 for the Intel part and 2012 for the AMD part, meaning the Intel chip has a slight overall average edge despite losing every direct comparison. That is because the Intel database includes Geekbench results, which are not present for the AMD chip. The percentile ranking against all CPUs is identical at 45 for both.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B wins in every measured compute benchmark. Its 8 threads give it a decisive advantage in multi-threaded rendering workloads, and it also leads in single-threaded tests despite a lower boost clock. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 6957 versus 6092 makes the AMD part the clear choice for threaded productivity tasks. Its 982 single-core score in R23 also makes it preferable for lightly threaded applications.

The AMD chip also wins on power efficiency. Its 45 W TDP is substantially lower than the Intel Xeon E-2124G's 71 W, making it suited to compact or thermally constrained systems. The Radeon RX Vega 11 integrated graphics is a more capable iGPU than Intel's HD Graphics P630, which matters for systems without a discrete graphics card.

The Intel Xeon E-2124G holds advantages in specific server-oriented features. It supports ECC memory, a requirement for many workstation and server deployments. Its 8 MB of shared L3 cache is four times larger than the AMD part's 2 MB, which can benefit workloads with larger working sets. The Intel chip also has a higher boost clock of 4.50 GHz versus 3.80 GHz, and its 42.7 GB/s listed memory bandwidth exceeds the AMD part's unlisted figure.

The Geekbench results, available only for the Intel Xeon E-2124G, show 4263 multi-core and 1438 single-core, but these are not directly comparable since the AMD chip lacks matching data. The database places both processors at the 45th percentile overall, with average scores of 2034 for Intel and 2012 for AMD.

For pure compute throughput in the Cinebench suite, the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1807B is the winner across the board. For ECC memory support, server-grade positioning, and a larger L3 cache, the Intel Xeon E-2124G remains relevant. The production status also differs: the Intel part is end-of-life, while the AMD part remains active, which may influence availability for new designs.
