AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE vs Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE versus the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100. The Qualcomm part has no recorded benchmark scores in any test category, while the AMD processor has a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results. This asymmetry means the comparison must rely on the AMD processor's measured performance data and the architectural characteristics of both chips, rather than direct side-by-side scoring.

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE delivers strong measured results across rendering and compute workloads. In Cinebench R23, it scores 15,504 points in multi-core and 2,188 points in single-core. The R20 run shows 6,511 multi-core and 918 single-core, while R15 records 1,562 multi-core and 220 single-core. These scores place the processor at the 78th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 25,880.

PassMark results reinforce this picture. The processor reaches 18,057 in multithreaded tests and 3,240 in single-thread tests. Integer math scores 67,582, floating point math scores 38,204, and extended instructions score 15,714. Data compression hits 228,037, data encryption reaches 14,509, and random string sorting completes at 23,769. The physics test records 648 points, and the prime number search scores 49.

Relative to its nearest rivals in the database, the AMD part sits in a tight cluster. Intel Core i7-11700K averages 25,812, which is 0.3% lower than the AMD chip's 25,880. AMD Ryzen 5 230 averages 25,782, also 0.4% lower. AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 averages 25,981, which is 0.4% higher, and Intel Core i7-14701TE averages 26,013, 0.5% higher. The differences are minimal, indicating the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE competes directly with these mid-range processors in aggregate benchmark performance.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has an average benchmark score of zero in the database, with no percentile ranking beyond the 50th percentile placeholder. Without recorded scores, the data cannot confirm any performance advantage or disadvantage for the Qualcomm part in measured workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, belonging to the 5000 series and the Ryzen 5 generation. It is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 uses the Oryon codename under the Snapdragon X (Plus) generation, built on a 4 nm process, also at TSMC. The Qualcomm chip's transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Qualcomm processor has 10 cores and 10 threads. Both have a base clock of 3.40 GHz, but the AMD chip boosts to 4.40 GHz, while the Qualcomm chip's boost clock is not listed. The AMD processor carries a 65 W TDP, whereas the Qualcomm processor is rated at 35 W.

Cache layouts reflect different approaches. The AMD chip uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Qualcomm chip uses 288 KB of L1 per core, 12 MB of L2 per module, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L1 on the Qualcomm side and the modular L2 structure suggest a different data feeding strategy, though the AMD part's larger total L3 may benefit workloads that repeatedly access a shared pool.

Memory support diverges completely. The AMD processor supports DDR4 memory over a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth and ECC support. The Qualcomm processor supports LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 135.2 GB/s bandwidth and no ECC support. The Qualcomm part's memory bandwidth advantage is substantial on paper, exceeding the AMD part by roughly 2.6 times.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD processor uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Qualcomm processor uses Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The newer PCIe generation on the Qualcomm side provides higher per-lane bandwidth, though the AMD part offers more total lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor includes Radeon Vega 7, while the Qualcomm processor includes Adreno X1-85. The database does not include graphics benchmark scores for either part, so relative GPU performance cannot be quantified.

The Qualcomm processor is classified as a mobile part, while the AMD processor is classified as desktop. The AMD chip uses the AMD Socket AM4, and the Qualcomm chip uses Qualcomm BGA 2073. Both are listed as active production with a multiplier lock, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE wins on measured performance, as the only part with benchmark data in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,504 and single-core score of 2,188 establish a concrete performance baseline. The processor sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals all fall within 0.5% of its average score, confirming that it delivers competitive mid-range throughput. The 12 threads from 6 cores provide simultaneous multithreading, which benefits parallel workloads such as rendering and encoding.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 wins on efficiency-oriented specifications. Its 35 W TDP is nearly half the AMD part's 65 W TDP, making it suitable for thermally constrained mobile designs. The 4 nm process node represents a smaller manufacturing geometry than the AMD part's 7 nm node, which typically enables lower power consumption per operation. The LPDDR5X memory support with 135.2 GB/s bandwidth offers a substantial data throughput advantage over the AMD part's DDR4 at 51.2 GB/s, which matters for memory-intensive tasks. The 10 cores, while lacking multithreading, provide raw core count that could benefit workloads scaling linearly across physical cores.

The AMD part also wins on platform maturity and legacy support. The Socket AM4 platform supports DDR4 memory and PCIe Gen 3, which are established standards with broad ecosystem availability. The ECC memory support is a clear advantage for reliability-sensitive applications. The Qualcomm part's PCIe Gen 4 support provides newer interconnect technology, though with fewer lanes.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on use case. For desktop workloads where measured performance is the primary criterion, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the only option with verified benchmark results. Its Cinebench scores and PassMark results place it squarely in the mid-range desktop category, with aggregate performance within 0.5% of several comparable Intel and AMD processors. The 65 W TDP is manageable for desktop cooling solutions, and the Socket AM4 platform offers broad compatibility.

For mobile or low-power designs, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 presents a compelling specification sheet. The 35 W TDP, 4 nm process, and 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth indicate a design focused on efficiency and data throughput. The 10 cores provide substantial parallelism, though the lack of multithreading means each core handles one thread. The LPDDR5X memory support aligns with mobile memory standards.

The absence of benchmark data for the Qualcomm part means its real-world performance cannot be verified from the database. The AMD part's 78th percentile ranking and 25,880 average benchmark score provide concrete evidence of its capabilities. A system builder prioritizing verified performance should select the AMD processor. A system builder prioritizing efficiency specifications and mobile integration should consider the Qualcomm processor, accepting that its measured performance remains unquantified in the database.

The release dates sit close together: the Qualcomm part launched on 2024-04-23, and the AMD part launched on 2024-05-06. Both remain active production parts. The choice ultimately depends on whether the workload demands verified desktop performance or efficiency-oriented mobile specifications, as the database provides no direct performance comparison between the two.
