Intel Celeron J4025 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600

The Intel Celeron J4025 from Intel, based on the Gemini Lake architecture and manufactured using the 14 nm process, is designed for entry-level systems such as thin clients or media centers.

It offers 2 cores, 2 threads, 0 MB L2 cache, 4 MB L3 cache, and integrates the Intel UHD Graphics 600. The maximum memory bandwidth is 38 GB/s, and it uses PCIe 2.0. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 from AMD, based on the Banded Kestrel (Zen) architecture and also manufactured using the 14 nm process, targets embedded systems and industrial applications.

It features 2 cores, 4 threads, 1 MB L2 cache, 4 MB L3 cache, and offers a maximum memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s as well as PCIe 3.0. In performance comparison, the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 significantly outperforms the Intel Celeron J4025. Both the single-core and multi-core performance of the AMD processor are more than 10 percent higher in benchmarks, making it better suited for more demanding tasks.

Both processors are not primarily designed for gaming and do not offer adequate performance. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 might have a marginal advantage for very light applications, but it is not recommended for gaming scenarios. Both CPUs are designed to be energy-efficient and have low power consumption, ideal for fanless systems.

Without market prices, an accurate price-performance analysis is difficult. However, the superior computing power of the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1600 suggests a better price-performance ratio.
