The Qualcomm processor has no recorded scores and sits in the 50th percentile.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS is the only one of the two processors with recorded benchmark data. Its average benchmark score of 28478 and 80th percentile ranking give it a clear position in the database hierarchy. The nearest rival deltas are small, ranging from -0.3% to 0.3%, which indicates the AMD part sits in a tightly competitive cluster with the Intel Xeon E-2436, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS, Intel Core 5 220H, and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking is the only comparative metric available. That ranking places it below the AMD processor in the overall distribution.

For buyers focused on measured performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS is the part with data supporting its position. It offers a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, ECC memory support, 20 PCIe lanes, and a 28 watt TDP. The Qualcomm part offers more cores, more memory bandwidth, and a different cache layout, but the database contains no benchmark results to substantiate its performance level. The choice between the two depends on whether the Qualcomm part's specifications, such as 10 cores and 135.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, matter more than the AMD part's recorded benchmark scores and percentile ranking. Based strictly on the data available, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS is the processor with demonstrated performance, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1P-64-100 remains an unmeasured entry in the database.
